About the Singapore Embassy in Berlin
The Singapore Embassy in Berlin represents the Republic of Singapore in Germany and promotes diplomatic, political and economic relations between Singapore and Germany. Singapore established its embassy in Germany in 1973, initially in Bonn, before moving to Berlin following the relocation of the German government.
Relations between the two countries are broad and include trade, investment, technology, research, education and cooperation between Europe and the Indo-Pacific region. Germany and Singapore also work together on issues such as digitalisation, sustainability, innovation and international security.
In addition to its diplomatic role, the embassy provides consular services for Singaporean citizens in Germany and supports residents dealing with Singaporean administrative authorities. Its consular jurisdiction covers the entire Federal Republic of Germany.
Visa Information
German citizens do not currently require a visa for visits to Singapore of up to 90 days. The actual period of stay is determined by Singapore's immigration authorities when the traveller enters the country.
Travellers must meet Singapore's general immigration requirements. In particular, foreign visitors normally need a passport with at least six months of remaining validity and must submit the SG Arrival Card within the prescribed period before arrival. The SG Arrival Card is an immigration declaration and is not a visa.
Longer stays, employment, study or residence in Singapore require the appropriate immigration pass or authorisation. These procedures are administered primarily by Singapore's Immigration & Checkpoints Authority and other responsible government agencies rather than through an ordinary tourist visa application.
Singaporean citizens holding a valid Singapore passport can generally travel to Germany and other Schengen countries without a visa for visits of up to 90 days within any 180-day period. This includes tourism, business visits and other qualifying short stays without employment.
For longer stays involving employment, university study, vocational training or family reunification, the appropriate German residence procedure may be required. The German Embassy in Singapore provides information and application procedures for these cases.
Consular Services
The Singaporean Embassy in Berlin provides consular and administrative services for Singapore citizens and permanent residents in Germany. Many Singapore government services are also available electronically through official government portals.
- Singapore passport applications and replacement of lost or damaged passports
- Consular assistance for Singaporean citizens in Germany
- Registration of changes of residential address
- Citizenship-related applications and enquiries
- Registration matters concerning children born overseas
- Permanent Resident and Re-Entry Permit matters
- Selected notarial and document-related services
Passport applications can often be initiated electronically through Singapore's official systems. However, procedures involving lost or damaged passports, document collection or certain notarial matters may require direct contact with the embassy.
The embassy specifically notes that it does not certify or attest every type of document. Instead, it provides selected notarial services, so applicants should verify whether their particular document can be handled before arranging a visit.
Appointments
The procedure for obtaining consular assistance depends on the service requested. Some services can be completed online, while others require applicants to contact the embassy or attend in person.
For services requiring personal attendance, applicants should consult the official Singapore Embassy website beforehand and determine whether an appointment is necessary. This is particularly important for passport matters, notarial services and procedures involving original documents.
Singaporean residents applying for German consular or visa services should follow the procedures of the German Embassy in Singapore. German consular appointments are booked online, while Schengen visa applications requiring a visa are generally submitted through the designated Visa Application Centre.
Diplomatic Missions between Singapore and Germany
