How much bank balance is required for Singapore tourist visa?
the important thing to know is: there is no officially published fixed minimum that applies to all applicants. Singaporean authorities generally want to see that you have enough funds to cover your stay (accommodation, food, transport, activities) and to return to your home country, but how much “enough` is depends on these factors: • How many days you’ll stay • Where you’ll stay and what standard of accommodation • Your itinerary (how much travelling/shopping you plan on doing) • Whether you have a sponsor in Singapore covering some costs From what travel agents, visa-help sites, and past applications suggest, here are some rough guidelines (they’re not guarantees, just what applicants tend to show): • For short stays (3-5 days): often around SGD 1,000–1,500 (or its equivalent) is considered reasonable. • For longer tourist trips, people often show higher balances to demonstrate they can support themselves. Also, the bank statements are usually expected to show consistent transactions over the past 3-6 months, not just a large deposit just before applying — authorities often look for financial stability.
