Singapore eSIM: land online, skip the SIM queue

For residents and for arrivals at Changi: the plans here are data only, on Simba, StarHub or Singtel, at one price with tax, and keep your own number in the phone.

A Singapore eSIM is a data-only plan for the city's networks: Simba, StarHub or Singtel, named on every card, from US$4.88 with tax. Your usual SIM stays in the phone, so your own number keeps working, and the plans carry no local number. If it does not work and cannot be fixed, you get a full refund.

Questions about eSIM in Singapore

Illustration: a traveller in a wooden river boat on a calm city river holds up a phone.

What is the best eSIM for Singapore?

The one you can check before you pay: which Singapore network it runs on, the data and the days, and the price in US dollars with tax. The plans here run on Simba, StarHub or Singtel, are data only, cost from US$4.88 with tax, and are refunded in full if they do not work and cannot be fixed.

How does a Singapore eSIM work?

The QR code gets scanned at home over Wi-Fi, with the line left off. In Singapore, bring it up and make it the line for mobile data. Your usual SIM stays in the phone, so your own number keeps working on WhatsApp.

Do I need a Singapore SIM card at the airport?

No, if the eSIM is installed: you switch it on after landing, with nothing to collect at the airport. A prepaid SIM card bought in Singapore is registered at the point of sale, and visitors register theirs with a passport. The eSIM plans here are data only, so your own number stays in the phone for calls and texts.

Do I need a Singapore arrival card?

Most visitors do: the SG Arrival Card is free on ICA's official portal and filed within the 3 days before you arrive. Keep the acknowledgement on your phone, and have your passport ready at immigration.

Does my phone work on the Singapore MRT?

Yes: your phone keeps its data on the trains and in the stations wherever the network's coverage holds, and each operator publishes its own coverage map. The fare is separate: contactless bank cards are accepted at the MRT gates and on buses, so the eSIM is not needed to ride.

Can I buy an eSIM for Singapore from this site?

Yes. Pick a plan on VietSIM, the same company's store for Vietnam and Asia: this site's buttons open the store's Singapore page, and the QR code appears right after payment.
