Cubans can travel to Singapore without a visa.

Cubans can travel to Singapore without a visa, but that country does establish specific requirements for entry. You should be aware that Singapore only allows one visa-free stay in its territory for a period of 30 days.

Visa upon entry to Singapore

Visas must be requested upon arrival in Singapore. They will be issued for a stay of 14 or 30 days and can be extended up to 90 days.

Cuban travelers arriving at that country's border must:

• Have a passport valid for at least 6 months and with at least one blank page.
• Demonstrate that they have sufficient funds for the trip.
• Have a return flight reservation or continuation of your trip.
• Have all the required documentation for the next destination country, if you continue your journey to another country.
• Confirm with the airline that boarding will be permitted, as these conditions may vary.

The best time to travel to Singapore

The period between December and June is the busiest in Singapore due to Asian holidays.

For Cubans traveling to shop at affordable prices, the ideal time to travel is between May and June. This is the season for major sales, due to the Festival. The Great Singapore Sale.

The most important thing is to plan your trip based on your needs as a traveler, without focusing too much on the best time of year.

Tickets to travel to Singapore

The investment in tickets will not be small, as they are expensive because there are no direct flights between Cuba and Singapore. Traveling requires a stopover in Russia, so you must purchase a ticket to that destination and then fly to the Southeast Asian country. You should know that the low-cost airlines that fly to Singapore are: AirAsia, JetStar, Tiger Airways, and Lion Air.

The language and currency of Singapore

For the benefit of Cubans, English is spoken everywhere in Singapore, especially in all kinds of establishments. If you are fluent in English, you will have no trouble communicating.

The official currency of that country is the Singapore Dollar (SGD). It is also the currency in common use. US and Australian dollars, as well as the Yen and the British Pound, are generally accepted. Currency can be exchanged at currency exchange offices, which offer better rates than banks. Many currency exchange offices can be found in shopping malls. You'll also find very competitive rates for exchanging money at the airport.

In that country, most services and shopping centers accept credit cards, both Visa and Mastercard. You can use them to pay and also to withdraw money. However, we recommend always having cash on hand, as some stores do not accept cards.

The weather in Singapore

The country has a tropical climate, which, like Cuba, does not present marked differences between seasons. Also, like Cuba, temperatures are high, the weather is hot. Humidity is high, and it often rains regularly. We recommend bringing sunscreen, sunglasses, and light clothing. It is also important to stay well hydrated. In Singapore, the water is potable, so you can drink straight from the tap. When you go shopping, be sure to carry a water bottle.
