Leaving the Singapore airport during airline transit without using Singapore tours
I am an Indian national traveling from the USA to India. I have a long layover in Singapore (12 + hours from 7 PM to 7 AM next morning).
I have a US visa and a passport so I can avail the Singapore tours at Changi. However, they do not have any tours late evening - post 8 PM.
So I was wondering if I could leave the airport by myself for a night?
Also are there any good spots near the airport that can be enjoyed/completed during that time?
Best Answer
Yes, you can leave airport by yourself for up to 96 hours. See the "Travellers who are nationals of India" at the bottom, as there are some additional requirements if your US visa is a single-entry visa.
There is nothing near the airport, but taxi from airport to Marina Bay Sands and downtown area takes about 20-25 minutes. MRT to downtown would take about 50 minutes. The Merlion area would be lit and lively and worth a visit. Chinatown is also about 30 minute walk from there.
