Welcome to the website of the High Commission of India in Singapore. Our primary focus is to provide information on consular and visa related matters, such as, issuance of visas, issuance and renewal of passports, authentication/ legalization of documents, Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI) cards and Person of Indian Origin (PIO) cards. 

The website also contains links to places of interest, media, business and investment opportunities, as well as links to other Indian government agencies.

We will endeavour to respond to your mail as quickly as possible. 

It is our endeavour to improve High Commission services and functions for your convenience. We will be successful in this endeavour only if we receive your feedback and suggestions on a continuous basis. Please do feel free to write to me on any matter concerning the High Commission.
