    I got into Singapore without proof of onward travel. I booked a one-way ticket since I was going on student exchange and waiting for the student residence permit and the person at the immigration desk accepted that after a couple questions without me having to provide any proof for that.

  • Thanks @drat. So I guess in absence of an onward ticket you just need to persuade the immigration officer you won't overstay.

  • Yes, that was my impression as well.

Yes. In my experience they do. Or at least the airline which will get you there will require you to have an exit ticket in order to board.

I was traveling from Phuket to Singapore without an exit ticket from Singapore (although I had an exit ticket from Sydney 2 weeks after) and the airline wouldn't let me board without an exit ticket. It was a pain. In the end I ended buying a $40 ticket at the airport which I never used.

I know this answer lacks any specific information regarding actual regulations, I am just sharing my experience. Hope it helps.

EDIT: When I answered this question the title was "Does Singapore require all tourists to present proof of onward travel?"

  • This is helpful, since it means the exceptions are probably arcane enough they won't apply to me. I'll accept it for now, until/unless someone comes along explaining what the exceptions in fact are.
