SG Arrival Card with Electronic Health Declaration
Complete Guide
What It Is
The SG Arrival Card (SGAC) is Singapore’s mandatory electronic alternative to the old white paper disembarkation card. It collects your personal details, travel itinerary, passport information, and a short health declaration. This includes symptoms and any recent exposure to infectious diseases—essential for public health monitoring.
Who Must Fill It Out
All individuals entering Singapore by air or sea—regardless of citizenship—must complete an SGAC, except:
Transit/transfers without passing immigration control.
Singapore citizens, PRs, or Long-Term Pass holders arriving by land (Woodlands/Tuas)
When to Submit
Submit your SGAC up to 3 days before your scheduled arrival date, including the arrival day itself. Example: For a June 30 arrival, you may submit anytime from June 28 onward

Around 240 travellers per month are flagged for follow-up; missing or inaccurate declarations could lead to extra scrutiny or prosecution under the Infectious Diseases Act
