Each individual, including children and infants, must have their own SG Arrival Card submitted. Parents or guardians can submit on behalf of their children.

2. Submitting Too Early or Too Late

Remember: submit within 3 days before arrival. Not earlier, not later than arrival.

3. Using Unofficial Websites

4. Forgetting to Submit

Some travelers forget entirely. While you may be able to submit at the checkpoint, it's best to do it in advance.

5. Wrong Purpose of Visit

Select the correct purpose of visit. Using the wrong category can cause issues.
