Filing for more than one traveler?
One submission takes up to 10 people traveling together on one trip. On the Traveller Details step, fill in the first traveler, then click “Add Traveller” for the next person; each traveler gets their own panel. For each extra traveler, the arrival date and contact details, the trip details, how you arrive, and where you stay start as “Same as Group Leader”; uncheck a box for anyone whose details differ. ICA says you may submit on behalf of others, and each e-Pass goes to the email address on that person’s card.
How do you submit it?
- On the Review page, check every detail against your passport. To change something, click “Edit” on the traveler’s panel.
- Check “I have read and agreed to the declaration.” and click Submit (“Submit All Travellers” when there are several of you).
- If ICA asks you to confirm you’re not a robot, complete that check yourself.
- ICA emails an acknowledgment, with your DE number, to the address you gave. Not there? Check your spam or junk folder.
- Spotted a mistake? Before your trip, use “Update SG Arrival Card” with the reference number from that email. Arrival date, name, passport number, passport expiry, date of birth, and nationality can’t be updated there: submit a new card, and ICA says the new one supersedes the earlier one.
What’s next?
