Temporary Slower Processing of Singapore eVisa Applications due to Chinese New Year

Due to high application volume at the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) during the Chinese New Year period (17 February – 23 February), there is currently file congestion and processing backlog within the system.

As a result, Singapore eVisa processing may take longer than usual. Applications submitted close to or during this period may experience additional delays beyond the standard processing timeframe.

We strongly recommend travelers to:

  • Apply well in advance of their planned travel date

  • Avoid last-minute submissions

  • Monitor their email regularly for updates or document requests

Processing speed is expected to gradually return to normal after 23 February once the backlog is cleared. 

Note: This delay applies only to Singapore applications. All other destination applications are being processed normally.

As the Balinese Hindu New Year nears, Bali prepares for one of the world’s most extraordinary traditions. Nyepi begins the Saka calendar not with fireworks, but with silence. Flights stop, streets empty, and the island comes to a complete standstill. More than a celebration, Nyepi is Bali’s sacred reset which is a day of reflection, […]
