=== Disembarkation / Embarkation Card ===
Foreign visitors arriving in Singapore are required to have a completed Disembarkation/Embarkation Card (or D/E card) for immigration clearance. (Click [http://www.ica.gov.sg/data/resources/docs/Info%20Guides/DE%2027I%2050%20V2%20pdf.pdf here] to see a preview of the D/E Card) The D/E card is available at all Singapore checkpoints. Travellers arriving by air can obtain the card from the airlines or on board their flights to Singapore. Travellers arriving by land and sea can obtain it from their travel agents, bus companies and ferry operators.
 
Upon the grant of immigration clearance, the Disembarkation portion will be retained by the officer. '''The Embarkation portion will be returned to the visitor.''' An endorsement indicating the period that the visitor is allowed to enter and stay in Singapore is stamped on both portions of the D/E Card as well as on the passport.
 
When the visitor leaves Singapore, '''the Embarkation portion will be retrieved from the visitor.'''
 
'''<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Don't lose the Embarkation portion given to you after you leave immigration upon arrival, you will need it to board your return flight.</span>''' [http://www.ica.gov.sg/page.aspx?pageid=97 More information]
 
=== Power plugs ===
 
'' Voltage ''
The standard voltage in Singapore is 220V/240V, 50 Hz. If you have equipment that runs on a higher voltage, you should not connect it to Singaporean power unless you have the correct transformer (voltage adaptor).
 
'' Power Plugs ''
Singapore uses the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_power_plugs_and_sockets#BS_1363_.28Type_G.29 British BS1363 three-pronged square pin type socket]. Plugs from the US, Western and Eastern Europe, and Asia will not fit into a Singapore power plug.
 
If you need a plug adaptor or transformer, we advise buying one before your arrival. Some hotels will be able to lend you an adaptor, but not all.
 
=== Currency ===
Singapore's currency is the Singaporean Dollar. you could check the value at [https://www.oanda.com oanda.com]. At Dec. 17th, 1 US dollar is equivalent to 1,40788 SGD
 
=== Customs ===
Singapore has strong regulations and taxes for alcohol and tobacco. We recommend that you don't bring alcohol to Singapore. Also, the quantity for tobacco is small:
 
«Tobacco is heavily taxed, and you are not allowed to bring more than one opened pack (not carton, but a single pack!) of cigarettes into the country. This is particularly strictly enforced on the land borders with Malaysia.»
 
If you need to take medicines which may only be obtained through prescription under the Singapore laws, especially sleeping pills, depressants, stimulants, etc, '''please carry with you a prescription''' from a physician confirming that these medicines are required for your physical well-being. There are severe penalties for the illegal possession of such medicines.
 
Please note that the following are considered Prohibited Goods to carry on while entering Singapore:
* Chewing gum 
* Chewing tobacco and imitation tobacco products e.g. electronic cigarettes 
* Cigarette lighters of pistol or revolver shape
 
=== Health Care ===
 
Tap water is safe for drinking, and sanitation standards are very high. As a tropical country, Singapore is hot and humid so drink a lot of water. The lowest temperature ever recorded in Singapore was way back in 1934, when it hit a low of 19.4°C (66.9°F).
 
Malaria is not an issue, but dengue fever is endemic to the region. Singapore maintains strict mosquito control (leaving standing water around will get you fined), but the government's reach does not extend into the island's nature reserves, so if you're planning on hiking bring along mosquito repellent.
