Singapore Visas Now Available in 24 Hrs

Singapore Tourism Board has launched e-visas across India, which will be introduced shortly across the country by its Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The new facility will now reduce the time for Indian travellers to obtain a Singapore visa, giving a general boost to both leisure and business travel alike. This much-awaited initiative, aimed at introducing hassle-free visa facilities, will commence on  April 2009.
E-visas are designed to enable select partners, including visa service providers across India, to submit a visa on behalf of their customers online and print the approved e-visa through the SAVE (Submission of Applications for Visa Electronically) program. Selected partners will no longer need to make a trip to the consular offices to submit documents for visas, neither, will they need to make a trip for visa collection, as approvals will be given online. A print-out of the e-visa can now be carried on departure. With this initiative the time required to obtain a Singapore visa in India will now be just "one" working day.
Commenting on the e-visa initiative,  Randall Tall, Regional Director, South Asia, Middle East and Africa, Singapore Tourism Board said, "Singapore has always been the top outbound destination from India and we are optimistic of maintaining this position through the launch of measures like the e-visa".
