Weekend getaways from Singapore that don't need a visa
You don't always need a week-long holiday to feel like you've actually gone somewhere.
Sometimes, all you need is a Friday afternoon, a couple of free days and a flight or ferry out of Singapore.
And if you're a Singapore passport holder, there are plenty of nearby destinations where visa requirements are straightforward or where you can travel without arranging a visa in advance.
Important: Visa and entry requirements can change. Always check the latest requirements for your nationality before travelling.
Malaysia: The easy weekend escape
Sometimes you don't need to fly at all.
Malaysia is one of the easiest choices for a quick getaway from Singapore. You can head to Kuala Lumpur for shopping, food and city attractions, or escape to Langkawi for beaches and a slower pace.
For families, Sunway Lagoon and Genting Highlands can turn a short trip into a fun-filled break.
