Submit Family SGAC NowHere's what you need to know when submitting for different age groups:
| Age Group | Who Submits | Special Considerations |
|---|---|---|
| Infants (0-2 years) | Parent or guardian | Must have valid passport. Use parent's contact info and accommodation address. |
| Young Children (3-12 years) | Parent or guardian | Ensure health declaration accurately reflects child's current health status. |
| Teenagers (13-17 years) | Parent, guardian, or self | Can complete form themselves if capable, or parent can submit on their behalf. |
| Adults (18+ years) | Self or authorized person | Each adult submits their own SGAC unless using group submission feature. |
No physical proof is required. The SGAC information is stored electronically in Singapore's immigration system. Immigration officers will access your child's SGAC using their passport information.
However, it's a good practice to note down the submission date or take a screenshot for your own records.
Yes, a parent or guardian can submit the SGAC for a child even if the child is traveling alone or with other adults (such as grandparents or school groups).
Make sure to use the correct contact information and accommodation details for where the child will actually be staying in Singapore.
Every child must have their own passport to enter Singapore. If your child is included in a parent's passport, they still need an individual passport for international travel.
Apply for a child's passport well in advance of your trip. Without a valid passport, you cannot submit an SGAC or travel to Singapore.
The SGAC is not a visa—it's a mandatory arrival declaration. Whether your child needs a visa depends on their nationality and the purpose of your visit.
Check Singapore's visa requirements for your child's nationality. Many countries enjoy visa-free entry, but the SGAC is still required for everyone.
At Singapore immigration checkpoints, families with young children typically go through together. The immigration officer will verify each family member's passport and SGAC submission.
For infants and very young children, biometric data (fingerprints) is usually not collected. Learn more about the immigration process.
Yes, you can use your (parent's) email address for all family members when submitting through the group submission feature. This makes it easier to track all submissions in one place.
The email address is primarily for contact purposes and doesn't need to be unique for each child.
Parents traveling with children for tourism can use the group submission feature to complete all SGACs at once.
Submit 1-3 days before departure.
