Data for a Singapore stopover or a week in the city, installed before you fly. Changi is the best-connected airport in the world, and the Asia plan carries the same eSIM on to Bali, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur or Tokyo.
The Singapore plan covers Singapore only.
The same 10 GB in a package that keeps working past Singapore.
20 other countries share the package with Singapore. A few of them:
What's included, when it starts, and how to get connected.
Complete the SG Arrival Card on the ICA site within three days of arrival; most passports use the automated gates. The MRT runs from Terminals 2 and 3 into the city in about half an hour; a taxi or Grab is twenty minutes and clearly priced. If the layover is long, the Jewel waterfall and the free city tour are inside or just outside the terminal.
MRT trains and buses accept contactless bank cards and phone wallets directly at the gate (SimplyGo). Fares are low and the network reaches everywhere a visitor goes. Taxis are metered and honest; Grab is the same price with less waiting. Nobody needs a car.
No eating or drinking on the MRT, no chewing gum for sale, no smoking outside the marked areas, and jaywalking is enforced. Tap water is drinkable, and tipping is not expected — a service charge is already on the bill.
Singapore sits almost on the equator. Expect heat and humidity in any month, short heavy downpours most afternoons, and the wettest weeks from November to January. The Formula 1 night race in September and the Chinese New Year weeks are when hotels fill.
The hawker centres are the best-value meals in Asia and the reason to come; stalls are cash or PayNow, so carry small notes. Restaurants add a 10% service charge and 9% GST to the menu price — the ++ on the menu.
Singapore is on the Asia plan, so the same eSIM works in the terminal, on the MRT, on Sentosa and at a hawker centre without anything to change — and Singapore has some of the most complete network coverage anywhere, underground and indoors included.
The point of the package is the rest of the trip. Malaysia across the causeway, Indonesia an hour’s flight away, Thailand, Vietnam, Japan and the rest of the list share the same allowance, so a stopover here and a week on Bali is one purchase rather than two SIM counters.
Answers about data, coverage and setup for Singapore.
On its own, the airport’s free Wi-Fi covers a few hours in the terminal. The package is worth it the moment you leave the building — for the MRT app, the map, the Grab home — and it is the same package that then covers the rest of the trip through Asia, so buy it for the whole journey rather than for the day. Validity starts on the first connection, so plan the length from Singapore onwards.
Yes. Malaysia is on the Asia plan with Singapore, so Johor Bahru, Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Langkawi carry on with the same allowance; the phone picks up a Malaysian partner network a minute or two after the checkpoint. Check the country list on this page for the whole route before you buy.
Not to ride: a contactless bank card or phone wallet works at the gates offline. Data is for the rest — Google Maps or Citymapper for routes, Grab when it rains, and the SG Arrival Card if you left it to the last minute. Singapore’s coverage is complete underground, so the map keeps working on the train.
