Do United States passport holders need a visa for Singapore?

No visa for business or social visits: Singapore’s embassy in Washington says US passport holders don’t need one. You still submit the free SG Arrival Card within 3 days before you arrive, arrival day included, on ICA’s e-Service or in the MyICA Mobile app.

Do US citizens need a visa or the SG Arrival Card for Singapore?

A visa, no. Singapore’s embassy in Washington: “US Passport Holders (regular, official and diplomatic) do not require a visa to enter Singapore for business or for social visit purposes.” The SG Arrival Card, yes: ICA requires it of every foreign visitor who clears immigration.
