Carrying physical currency and bearer-negotiable instruments into Singapore

If you’re entering Singapore with more than SGD20,000 or its foreign currency equivalent in cash, you must submit a completed NP727 form to:

• the Customs Red Channel on your arrival at Singapore’s Changi Airport, or
• the immigration counter on your departure from Singapore.

Collect the NP727 form at any major checkpoint, Neighbourhood Police Centre (NPC) or, Neighbourhood Police Post (NPP). Alternatively, you can download it from the websites of the Singapore Police Force (SPF).
