Requirements for Singaporeans

Application Form

From 2026, citizens from Singapore must get ETIAS visa waiver to enter Italy and the Schengen area.

The goal of the ETIAS, European Travel Information and Authorisation System, is to add an extra layer of security to countries in the Schengen zone.

Singaporeans can easily apply for ETIAS from an internet-connected device.

Getting the ETIAS waiver is quick and easy. Most applicants are expected to get their application approved minutes after submission.

This article includes all the information that travellers need to know before they apply for an ETIAS to visit Italy, including the document requirements, how to apply, and more.

ETIAS Requirements for Singaporean citizens

There are only a few ETIAS Italy requirements for Singaporeans – they are listed below:

  • A current Singaporean passport
  • A valid form of payment, such as a debit or credit card
  • A valid email address that applicants constantly check

After applicants have gathered all the items mentioned above, it is time to start an online application. The ETIAS application can be filled out using any device with internet access, such as a laptop, computer, tablet, or smartphone.

The application is straightforward and asks applicants to enter their personal information (full name, contact information, passport details), and answer a few security questions.

Its approval is usually within minutes after submitting the form. However, in rare cases, it may take up to 72 hours. If the application is rejected, applicants have the chance to appeal the ETIAS officer’s decision by providing a statement and additional documents.

Singaporean citizens who are minors (under 18 years old) must apply separately. If the minor’s parent helps them fill out the application, the parent must include their own information as well.

Personal information for the ETIAS Italy

Singaporeans travelling to Italy must apply for ETIAS beforehand. They can do so by starting an online application.

During the online application, travellers will be asked to submit the following:

  • First and last name
  • Gender
  • Date and place of birth
  • Passport number
  • Passport issue date
  • Passport expiration date
  • Nationality
  • Contact information (home address and email)

Applicants must also mention the first Schengen country that they will arrive in (Italy or otherwise). Travellers can stay in the Schengen Zone for up to 90 days within a 180-period.

What documents do I need for the ETIAS Italy?

The most important document required during the process of applying for an ETIAS is the traveller’s Singapore passport. Each traveller must verify their passport’s validity before starting an application. The travel document must be valid for at least 3 months beyond the expected date of departure from the Schengen area.

If the passport with a valid ETIAS attached to it expires, its electronic authorisation is no longer valid. Once they have a new passport, they may get a new ETIAS. Travel authorisations can never be extended as they are always electronically linked to a viable passport.

Medical info for Singaporean citizens

Singaporean travellers will be pleased to know that they do not require any additional vaccines to visit Italy or the other Schengen countries. However, we recommend checking up on the news in order to stay on top of health warnings and other travel advisories. We also recommend that Singaporean travellers buy travel health insurance before they leave the country. In case of an emergency, this insurance will help cover health-related costs that were incurred while visiting the country.

If a traveller is involved in an emergency while in Italy and needs to contact emergency services, their phone number is 112 in Italy.

ETIAS Italy to smooth arrivals from Singapore

The ETIAS system is being developed for several reasons. One of them is being up-to-date with modern technology. ETIAS is likely to contribute to better arrival experiences when coming from Singapore.

Furthermore, the electronic authorisation would contribute to smoother border checks, as each traveller will have been pre-screened before boarding.

Additionally, ETIAS allows authorities to identify if there are people who are trying to enter the region using stolen passports or if they have a criminal record.
