Cash rules for Singapore

Official currency SGD

How much cash can you carry?

There is no limit on the amount, the obligation is to declare rather than to stay below a cap. Declare SGD 20,000 or more on entry to Singapore.

Limits

Bringing cash in

SGD 20,000

Reporting threshold. Carry what you like, declare above this.

Required when the total value EXCEEDS S$20,000, exactly S$20,000 does not trigger it. The duty applies whether the cash is yours or carried for someone else.

Taking cash out

SGD 20,000

Reporting threshold. Carry what you like, declare above this.

The same declaration is required when leaving.

How to declare

Use the CBNI declaration (via the Singapore Arrival Card or the official app).

If you do not declare

An offence under the Corruption, Drug Trafficking and Other Serious Crimes (Confiscation of Benefits) Act 1992.
