Can you bring cash to Singapore?

• Cash

  allowed, must be declared

  The Singapore Police Force operates a real cross-border cash movement reporting scheme (Form NP 728, lodged with the Suspicious Transaction Reporting Office under the Corruption, Drug Trafficking and Other Serious Crimes (Confiscation of Benefits) Act) covering cash and bearer negotiable instruments above a threshold.

  The specific SGD threshold that triggers mandatory reporting could not be confirmed on a primary source in this pass — the Police e-Services page for lodging the report describes the process (an online form, ~10 minutes to complete) but doesn't state the dollar figure itself, and that page returned no other numeric threshold. A commonly-cited SGD 20,000 figure appears in secondary sources, but this site only publishes what it can verify directly — treat the exact threshold as unconfirmed and, if carrying a large sum, check with the Singapore Police Force or file the report regardless.

  Also covers: cash, currency, money, bearer negotiable instruments
