Can I go out of the airport while a layover at Singapore?
I am an Indian citizen and I have a flight to Japan with a 7 hour layover at Singapore. I only have a temporary visitor visa for Japan. I was wondering if I could go out of the airport and visit Singapore, and what additional procedures(if any) I might require for that?

Indian nationals who are in transit to or from any third country by air, may be eligible for the 96-hour VFTF for one transit in the itinerary (either forward or return leg, but not both) if they:
i. have a valid onward air ticket departing within the next 96-hours; and
ii. possess a valid visa/long-term pass (with a validity of at least 1 month from the date of entry into Singapore under the VFTF) issued by any of the following countries**:
a. Australia
b. Canada
c. Japan
d. New Zealand
e. United Kingdom
f. United States of America
g. Germany
h. Switzerland
** A visa is considered valid if it is not expired and is good for entry into the third country.
** The VFTF for Indian nationals is for air to air travel only, and is only valid for one transit in the itinerary (either forward or return leg, but not both).
