Brazilian citizens do not need a visa for short-term tourism or business visits to Singapore, typically allowing a stay of up to 30 days. However, you must ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your departure date. A critical requirement for travelers coming from Brazil is the Yellow Fever Vaccination Certificate; you must present an international certificate of vaccination if you have been in Brazil within six days prior to arrival. Additionally, all travelers must submit the SG Arrival Card electronically within three days before landing. While no visa is required, you should have proof of onward travel, such as confirmed Singapore travel tickets for your return or next destination, and evidence of sufficient funds for your stay. Immigration officers may request these documents upon arrival at Changi Airport to verify your visitor status.

Singapore features one of the most efficient public transport systems globally, centered around the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT). For travelers used to the metro systems in Sao Paulo or Rio de Janeiro, the MRT will feel exceptionally clean, punctual, and extensive, covering almost every corner of the island. To pay for fares, you can use a contactless Visa or Mastercard, or purchase an EZ-Link card at any station. Buses complement the rail network, offering scenic routes through local neighborhoods. Taxis and ride-hailing apps like Grab are widely available and regulated, providing a reliable alternative for direct travel. Walking is highly feasible in the city center, though the tropical heat and humidity can be intense. Most major attractions are connected by sheltered walkways or underground passages, making it easy to navigate comfortably regardless of the weather conditions outside.

Singapore is a multicultural society with Chinese, Malay, and Indian influences, requiring respect for diverse traditions. Unlike the casual social norms often found in Brazil, Singaporeans value order and public decorum. Strict laws govern public cleanliness; littering, chewing gum, and smoking in prohibited areas carry heavy fines. When visiting religious sites like temples or mosques, dress modestly by covering your shoulders and knees. It is customary to remove your shoes before entering someone's home or a place of worship. Tipping is not a standard practice in Singapore, as a 10% service charge is usually added to bills at restaurants and hotels. Using your right hand for greetings and eating is preferred in Malay and Indian cultures. Being mindful of these nuances helps you integrate better and shows respect for the local way of life during your visit.

To eat like a local, head to hawker centers like Maxwell or Old Airport Road. These open-air food courts offer high-quality, affordable meals and are the heart of Singapore's food culture. Try the national dish, Hainanese Chicken Rice, or the spicy Laksa. While Brazilians are accustomed to late dinners, hawker centers are busy throughout the day, with many stalls closing once they sell out. For a unique experience, visit a 'Kopitiam' for traditional breakfast consisting of kaya toast, soft-boiled eggs, and local coffee. Don't be a tourist by only eating in malls; the real flavors are found where the locals queue. For a great photo and a treat, grab an ice cream sandwich from a street vendor along Orchard Road.
