Maximum length of stay in Singapore without a visa for Russian citizens?

While Russian nationals, among others, may be eligible for Singapore’s Visa Free Transit Facility, you must be travelling to a third country, not the round trip between Australia and Singapore you describe.

Nationals of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), Georgia, Turkmenistan and Ukraine

If you are in transit to or from any third country (both forward and return legs), you may be eligible for the 96-hour VFTF if you have a valid onward air ticket departing within 96 hours. You may enter Singapore by any mode of transport but must depart Singapore by air.

As an Australian resident, you would not have to visit the High Commission of the Republic of Singapore located in Canberra to apply for a Visit Pass.

You can submit your visa application online through VFS Global which has offices located in Sydney, Perth, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Spring Hill.

The visa processing fee is AUD30 and you’ll need the following:

• Completed and signed Form 14A with photo attached.

• Original passport (must have at least 6 months’ validity from the intended date of entry).

• Photocopies of confirmed travel itinerary issued (mode of transport can be by plane, train, cruise or car).

• Australian contact numbers and email address, on a separate piece of paper and attached to the application.
