You don’t need to have a visa to enter Singapore. The Immigration and Checkpoints Authority can show the guidelines and it includes a list of the thirty plus nationalities and they required to obtain a visa in advance. In most of the cases entry permit duration is 14 or 30 days and for US citizens it is 90 days. We can say that it depends on nationality and entry point. Singapore has extremely strict drug laws. Often it is seen that the drug trafficking carries a compulsory death penalty. Foreigners also includes in the list. The capital punishment is same if you are just transiting like changing flight without the need to clear passport control and also customs. Bringing in explosives or firearms without a permit is also regarded as capital offence in Singapore. The travelers should take care of his or her luggage.
If you are in any medical treatment carry your prescription. In Singapore, it is an offence even to have any drug substances in your system, even if they were consumed outside Singapore. Customs give little extra attention to the hippies. But getting a shave and a haircut is no longer a condition for entry. Duty free allowances for alcohol are 1 L of wine, 1 L of spirits, and 1 L of beer per person. If you are entering from Malaysia, the process is different as there is no duty free allowance. Alcohol may not be brought in by any person if he or she is under the age of 18. The point should be noted that cigarettes cannot be brought in duty free. One opened packet, I mean just a packet not a carton is acceptable. But anything more than that will come under taxation. In Singapore you can feel free if maintaining little rules and regulations.
