Singapore travel advice

Most visits to Singapore are trouble-free, but travellers should be aware that Singapore shares with the rest of South-East Asia a threat from terrorism. Attacks could be indiscriminate and against civilian targets, including places frequented by foreigners.

There is a risk from Dengue Fever in Singapore. Travellers should take normal precautions against being bitten by mosquitoes.

Travellers should not become involved with drugs of any kind: possession of even very small quantities can lead to imprisonment or the death penalty.
