As a frequent “tourist”, I’ve been coming here every year for 20 years already, I rely on EZ-link card, NETS Flaspay card a NETS Prepaid card. They work great together. My European MasterCard works fine for travel to but it’s not accepted in the top-up machines at the stations, so need to top up with cash. Also using the new NETS Prepaid park should work everywhere NETS is accepted but the peoples at the counters still find it hard to choose the correct payment modes on the cash registers.

[@simplifytravel]

Till now, i don't even know much about the Nets prepaid card, :)..thanks for mentioning, good to know about it. And i dig in a bit on it, i thinks its a great alternative for tourist too, as it stored a certain value that can be use throughout Singapore. It's somehow safer than losing a credit or debit card. Although it can be refund to the bank account, in case it was lose or the 5 years validity of the card expired, but sadly only Singapore based bank account is supported. And if you link your card to the NETS Apps, you can actually top up your card with your foreign credit/debit card. Here's the link for your reference, and the FAQ on top up with foreign credit/debit card: (remember to click the see more option) - www.nets.com.sg/nets/for-you/nets-prepaid-card#faq

Hi. I got a 'Tourist Pass Plus' when I visited Singapore in 2018. I'll be in Singapore again in a few weeks - will I still be able to top it up and use it again? I guess that I can use a foreign (UK) credit card to do this, but and will I get a surcharge fee for this?

[@simplifytravel]

You can check the from the top-up machine in any MRT station. You can refer to this video on the "step 4", where it will show you the validity of the card. - kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3nKn6WAYrpohZI Each EZ-Link card has a lifespan of 5 years from the date of encoding. But do check from the top-up machine again. And Yes, foreign credit card can be use to tap in and out in any public transportation in Singapore, but remember that they are subject to administration fee, you can check with your bank on the fee.

The SG TOURIST PASS 29SGD auto turns to regular ezlink card after 3rd day? Thanks for the info. Very useful video

[@simplifytravel]

Yes, it will reverts to a normal ez-link adult card. Hope you like it. Below is the link for further reading: On FAQs 12 - thesingaporetouristpass.com.sg/faq/sg-tourist-pass/

@@simplifytravellet’s say I return the Sg tourist pass after 6 days, will i get the refund? Or should we have return it immediately after end of the validity?

[@simplifytravel]

No, for after 6 days. You can only get a refund deposit within 5 days from the day of purchase. Don't worry, you don't need to refund at the Changi Airport, there are lots of ticket office around the city center. Here's the list for your reference: www.transitlink.com.sg/simplygo-ticket-offices/?ty=art&Id=107

[@yannicktin6999]

Hello..I will be in Singapore for 6days..should I try the normal card or tourist pass?

[@simplifytravel]

Hello, if you think you are going to travel a lots using the train or bus and making use of the pass "PERKS & DISCOUNTS" (thesingaporetouristpass.com.sg/perks-discounts/), i would recommend the tourist pass. Clear as much attractions with the pass on the first 3 days (3 days pass). Then you can retain the pass and top it up with cash and use it as a normal cash card. (For the Singapore Tourist Pass, if you decide to retain the card, you can't refund your deposit.) But if you just mainly use it for public transport, i think the normal EZLink card is good enough.

[@venusobjectcosmos5989]

Hello! If I'm buying tickets at the ticket office and I show my Singapore Tourist Pass, do the ticket officers minus the price down on the spot, or that's only available for online tickets? Also, I'm travelling with 2 other people, do I give all 3 passes to minus 5SGD for each ticket or what? Thanks!

[@simplifytravel]

Hello, currently there's no more tourist pass that require deposit. This is their new Singapore Tourist Pass - thesingaporetouristpass.com.sg/

[@young8863]

Thanks for this info.. im traveling to SG next month. May i ask the last trip from Changi airport towards clark quay? Or its better to take a grab from the airport going to the hotel since its already evening time?

[@simplifytravel]

The last time from changi airport is around 2318. But depends on how late is your arrival time, taking the train will save u more $, although u need to transfer the stations. Grab is the only choice if u miss the last train.

[@Gearambalaji]

I Travel with my wife and my 2yr kid how much pass should i buy for 3 days??..

[@simplifytravel]

If you consider buying the pass, 2 pass for you and your wife. And if your kid is below 0.9m in height, then it is free for your kid to travel any public transport in Singapore. (MRT & Buses) But if your kid is above 0.9m in height, then your kid need a pass too. Hope it help.

[@siddharthnene]

I am traveling for 8 days in that case which card you will suggest ?

[@simplifytravel]

All the passes have only max, 3 days duration, so it couldn't cover your 8 days durations. In case if you want to get the pass, the Singapore tourist Pass might be the one as you can get back your deposit of $10.

[@yasirsharif447]

Is this card for individuals only. If someone is traveling with family does he have to buy separate pass for each member?

[@simplifytravel]

Yes, it is for individual only, have to buy separately for each member.

[@NomadBenny]

Does 1 day pass period starts from the time we purchase ? If i purchase on suppose 10th May at 2pm so it will be valid till next day 2pm for 24 hours period?

[@simplifytravel]

This is based from the website, "The duration and validity of the pass is based on the operating hours of the basic public transport system, 1-day coverage of the pass begins from your 1st usage of the pass to the end of the public transport service for that day." So if start using on 10th May, it will end on 10th May of that day until end of the transport service for that day.

[@anuragrrajan]

I think now they have removed the refund option for Singapore Tourist Pass. I don’t see any mention of it in the website? Also, rates are revised.

[@simplifytravel]

Thank you for the update. Yes, they have revised the card design for the Singapore Tourist Pass. The price is reduce to 1 day $17 / 2 days $24 / 3 days $29. And they have omit the deposit requirement and refund is not possible anymore.

[@ARazaq1501]

Hi, I want to ask. I want to buy a Singapore Tourist Pass for 1 Day Pass, but I intend to use it the next day because I'll be arriving in Singapore at night. Is it possible? I read that the pass will be activated at the first usage of the pass of the day and not at the time of purchase, but I'm not sure. Thank you

[@simplifytravel]

Hi, sorry for the late reply, because i wait for another day to experiment your query. I bought the pass and wait for another full day, (use on the 3rd day) before i use the 1 Day Pass, and the answer is, it still work! That means, you can buy it at night and use it on the next day. But please remember that, you will only be able to get a refund of the rental deposit within five days from the day of purchase. Not from the activation date of your pass.

[@ARazaq1501]

@simplifytravel Hi. Thank you so much for your effort. I did read an article saying that it will work so I didn't worry that much. It's better to know that it does work for real with evidence. Thank you and have a good day!

[@simplifytravel]

Hi, no problem, your query might let everyone know more about the pass too.

[@diarydesire]

Hi, if i arrived in SG 24 okt at 11.00 am and I leave SG 26 okt 08.00 am, how many days for Singapore tourist pass i need to purchase? 2 days or 3 days? Is the card start activated at 00.00 at the beginning of the day or the pass active at the time we purchase?

[@simplifytravel]

I think 2 days should be enough as your last day is very early, it will be a waste to use it. The card is activated on first use, not when you bought it. But remember you can also use your credit card to enter both the MRT and local bus services in Singapore. You don't have to get the tourist pass if you think you won't use it often. You can use it during your last day. (just that there will be administrative charge for your credit card)

[@Kavishka_Hele]

Are there any solutions for foreign students?

[@simplifytravel]

If the tourist pass is not preferred. The only option that i can think of is the Singtel $18 hi!Tourist 2-in-1EZ-Link SIM. Only if you also require a SIM card in Singapore, as the card also have the EZ-link function where you can top up with cash. The card has a $3 card value for you to ride the MRT and bus, you can top up depending on how often you take the MRT or bus. The downside is that, it is not unlimited ride. Here's the link for your reference: www.singtel.com/personal/products-services/mobile/prepaid-plans/hi-tourist And in terms of attraction, you can check out the Klook Singapore Pass: bit.ly/3SK2UKK

[@nelsondario4762]

why there is a SG Tourist Pass in red color (same 3 day pass unli access at $29?

[@simplifytravel]

It is just another design option to choose from, the function is the same.

Hi, it is unlimited travel for both MRT, LRT and local buses. But not for private long trip buses.

[@Appadappadatandra561]

@@simplifytravel What if I travel extensively and the amount exceeded greater than the 29 or 34 $, I bought the card with. Still can travel?

[@simplifytravel]

Don't worry, as long it is within the 2 or 3 days duration of the card that you have bought, you can still use it. But after the card expired, you can either top-up the card with cash and continue to use it or keep it as souvenir or return for a re-fund. Re-fund only apply to "Singapore Tourist Pass".

[@imeldamogi]

yeah

Thanks, hope it is helpful.

[@imjiyan]

Can I top up the tourist pass while in the middle of the 3 day period duration? Because we planned to go to uss via the sentosa express and as mentioned it doesn't cover it, so can we top up the card?

[@simplifytravel]

Yes, you can top up the tourist pass with cash. If you are going to Sentosa, you can also enter without any fee (FREE), by just walking from VIVO City Mall or cycle from there. Once you entered Sentosa, you can also use the Monorail for free too. www.sentosa.com.sg/en/getting-to-sentosa/ (Latest News for Tourist Pass) By June 2024, Singapore Tourist Pass will cease the function of topping up with cash. So if you plan to top up the pass, please use up all the amount before leaving Singapore. Or you can access the information from the video descriptions. thesingaporetouristpass.com.sg/

[@byteme9718]

Don't be conned into buying a Tourist Pass. If you just make a few trips on public transport use your overseas bank card, the charges are minimal. If more than a few then an EZ-Link card is worth getting. No one gets three days travel from a Tourist Pass because it's valid from the time it's issued until midnight on day three. The other way you'll lose money is that they they're only sold/returned at a quite restricted number of locations. You'll have to pay to get to one of those locations and then back after you return it. Are you really going to waste a hour of your time to get back a £10 deposit? Even if you never return to Singapore the most you'll lose on an EZ-Link card is $5. If you do return, within five years of purchase, you simply carry on using it. You can even lend it to friends/family if they travel there. Public transport costs are so low in Singapore you'd need to take a lot of trips to make a saving, even if you were to go to the inconvenience of getting your deposit back. Singapore is great but the Tourist Pass is just a rip off.

[@simplifytravel]

Yes, Singapore public transport is cheap compare to other countries. If don't mind foreign charges for oversea bank card, then i think it is the best choice to explore Singapore, it's easy, just tap and go. The tourist pass is just another options for tourist, they can choose to either keep it as souvenir later or take advantage of some of the additional attraction benefits it comes with.

[@loopydoo]

how much is it to use the MRT from changi airport to bugis one way ? ... also can you just buy a single one way ticket at the airport ?

[@simplifytravel]

- Taking MRT from Changi Airport to bugis one way is around SGD$1.89, you can use this link to calculate other route - www.lta.gov.sg/content/ltagov/en/map/fare-calculator.html - They don't sell single one way ticket anymore. - Remember you can use your own oversea bank credit/debit card instead, just tap and go. Just that there is a foreign administrative fee, do check with your bank. (Just for reference, the max charge for either local buses or MRT won't exceed SGD$3, depending on distances) - Or getting an eZ-link card at Changi Airport station at SGD$8 from the vending machine with stored value of SGD$3. If the Singapore tourist pass is not for you.
