What is Health Gain Insurance?
Singapore is the perfect gateway to Southeast Asia, where modern skylines meet rich culture. From Marina Bay Sands to the hawker centres of Chinatown, this city-state offers amazing experiences year-round. With so much to see and do, having Singapore travel insurance ensures nothing gets in the way of your city adventure.
This protection is important because even well-planned trips can have unexpected incidents. For example, imagine exploring Orchard Road’s bustling shopping district and finding out that your wallet, containing all your cards and cash, is missing. In such situations, travel insurance covers emergency costs like hotel stays, meals and transport fees, keeping your trip stress-free.
Similarly, flight connections through Singapore's Changi Airport are seamless, but luggage doesn't always follow. Picture landing ready to explore Gardens by the Bay, only to find your suitcase has decided to extend its vacation elsewhere. Rather than letting missing luggage derail your itinerary, travel insurance provides reimbursement to buy essential clothes, toiletries and medications, letting you continue your Singapore story.
For this level of comprehensive protection from departure to return, IndusInd travel insurance (formerly Reliance travel Insurance) offers the coverage you need to travel with confidence. With our user-friendly IndusInd Self-i app, filing claims is effortless and instant, whether you're at Clarke Quay or anywhere across the Lion City.
Ensure your Singapore gateway goes smoothly and is enjoyable from day one of your trip. IndusInd General Insurance (formerly Reliance General Insurance) combines comprehensive benefits with easy access, so you can focus entirely on soaking up everything this dynamic city-state offers.

Types of Visas for Singapore
Singapore visas are mandatory for all Indian citizens – there is also no visa-on-arrival option available. Applying for the correct visa type well in advance is essential for a smooth journey. Requirements can vary depending on your travel purpose, including transit, tourism, business, studies or work. Here’s a brief and up-to-date overview, including key exceptions and notes for Indian citizens using reliable government sources.
Social Visa / Tourist Visa
For short-term holiday or visiting family/friends. Indian citizens must apply through an authorised travel agency or have a local Singaporean sponsor apply online. Each application requires a Letter of Introduction from a local contact or Indian embassy.
Transit Visa / Visa-Free Transit Facility (VFTF)
For Indian travellers transiting Singapore up to 96 hours. No prior visa is needed if you have a valid onward ticket and certain visas for Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, the US, the UK, Germany, or Switzerland. You cannot extend or reapply for VFTF during your stay. VFTF only allows one entry and exit.
Business Visa
For business meetings, conferences and exhibitions. Apply via authorised travel agent or with a Singapore-based business sponsor acting as your local contact. Business visas cannot be used for employment — separate work passes are needed for jobs. Indians must apply before arrival — no exceptions.
Student Pass
Required for full-time study at recognised Singapore institutions. The application process must begin after admission, with institutional sponsorship. The In-Principle Approval (IPA) letter works as your pass for arrival. Not valid for part-time or short-term courses – these require a Social Visit Pass or Tourist Visa, depending on the duration and nature of the course.
Work Visa / Work Pass
Required for employment, internships, or professional activities. Only the Singapore employer or authorised agent can apply, not individuals. Pass types include Employment Pass, S Pass and Work Permits. Caution: Indian travellers should not pay overseas agents; applications must be made by the hiring company directly with the Ministry of Manpower (MOM).
Maternity Cover
Adding a child to the family is a joyous occasion for parents. It is also an important milestone for every couple as they get an added responsibility for the child. While pregnancy and childbirth are wonderful experiences, they can prove expensive too.
