Valid Singaporean visa in an expired passport

I got a valid Singaporean visa in my old passport which expired recently. This is usually ok and I have been through it before but in other countries.

Just to make sure can I go to Singapore with my new passport while having the old passport with the valid visa in it? I can't seem to find a resource that confirms this.

Best Answer

In general visas are still valid if the passport is expired and you travel with both passports (the old one with the visa and the new one).

This is very common with multiple entry visa, but the visa on the old passport should not be invalidated (as the other pages of your old passport got a "no valid" stamp).

You should contact the nearest Singapore embassy/consulate to get confirmation that your visa is still valid.
