Muslim Traveller Guide
Halal Singapore
Singapore is very welcoming for Muslim travellers thanks to a strong national halal-certification system (MUIS), abundant halal food — including certified hawker stalls — mosques across the island, and prayer rooms in malls and at Changi Airport. The MRT is fast and inexpensive, and English is an official language.

The essentials
Everything a Muslim traveller needs to land in Singapore with confidence.
Getting in
Singapore Changi Airport (SIN)
• MRT (East-West Line) — ~45 min to the centre
• Taxi / Grab — 20-30 min
Getting around
The MRT and LRT cover the island and are fast, clean and cheap; buses fill the gaps.

Visa & entry
Singapore is visa-free for many nationalities (typically 30-90 days). All arrivals must submit the free SG Arrival Card (SGAC) online within 3 days before arrival.
Getting here
Travelling from a major halal market?
Most halal-expo buyers and exhibitors fly in from the world's main halal hubs. Here's how to reach Singapore from each — entry rules vary by nationality, so check the Visa & entry note.
