Foreign visitors to Singapore getting e-passes instead of stamped passports

Singapore : All foreigners entering Singapore on short-term visit passes from March 11 are being issued with electronic visit passes (e-Passes), which have replaced the manual endorsement stamps on passports.
The issuance of e-Passes, which was first implemented at Changi Airport in October 2021, has been extended progressively to all checkpoints from March 11, the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) said in a statement.
Visitors are receiving their e-Passes by e-mail after clearing immigration. This replaces the inked short-term visit pass endorsements on passports. Those who do not have an e-mail address can submit a family member's as a proxy.
The e-Pass will include details of the visit pass granted, such as the maximum number of days of stay and the last day of stay allowed in Singapore.
"With the full implementation of the e-Pass, all foreign visitors on short-term visit pass will no longer have to worry about the lack of pages in their passports to accommodate immigration stamps," ICA said.
Foreign visitors can also conveniently check the records of their short-term visit passes online at the e-Pass Enquiry Portal, by inputting their issued disembarkation/embarkation (DE) numbers.
