During your stay
Geography
Located at one of the crossroads of the world, Singapore's strategic position has helped it grow into a major centre for trade, communications and tourism. It is linked to Malaysia by two causeway bridges, and the key islands of the Riau Archipelago of Indonesia are just a quick ferry trip away. Singapore, with an airport served by more than 69 airlines, is very much the gateway to Southeast Asia.
Languages
Mandarin is the language spoken in Singapore.
Currency
The local currency is Singapore dollars and cents. Notes come in denominations of $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, $100, $500, $1000, and $10,000. Coins come in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20 and 50 cents and $1.
Shopping
Shopping is considered the national past time on the island. From hi-tech wares to designer wear, there is something for everyone. Orchard Road, packed with modern malls and hotels is a must-see. Other prime locations are Chinatown, Arab Street and Little India. Unlike most Western countries, shopping hours usually start from late morning to 9:30 or 10 p.m. Always keep in mind to compare prices, as they can vary widely between shops.
Health & Safety
Singapore's medical facilities are among the finest in the world, with well-qualified doctors and dental surgeons. Pharmacies are readily available at supermarkets, department stores, hotels and shopping centres. Registered pharmacists generally work from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Most hotels have their own doctor on call around the clock. Other doctors are listed under Medical Practitioners in the Yellow Pages of the Singapore phone book. For an ambulance, dial 995.
Please note: Only nicotine gum and tooth-whitening gum with a doctor’s prescription are allowed in Singapore. All other forms of chewing gum are illegal in Singapore. Littering is taken very seriously.
Telephones
Public payphones operated by credit card and/or phone cards can be used to make both local and international calls. Public payphones can be found in most shopping complexes and MRT (mass rapid transit) stations.
Mobile phones: There are two mobile phone networks – GSM900 and GSM1800 – and three mobile telephone service providers – SingTel, M1 and StarHub. To make international calls, the access codes are 001, 013, or 019 for SingTel; 002 or 021 for M1; and 008 or 018 for StarHub.
Electricity : Singapore voltage is 220-240 volts AC, 50 cycles per second. The power plugs used in Singapore are of the three-pin, square-shaped type.
Time zone : GMT +7
Your departure from destination
Hotel checkout
Hotel checkout times may vary depending on the property but generally you must vacate the room by 12 p.m. (noon).
Duty-free shopping
After an absence of 7 days or more, Canadian residents are permitted to return with a maximum of 750 CAD of merchandise per trip without paying duty. Each time you leave Canada for at least 48 hours, you are eligible to declare up to 400 CAD of merchandise. A written declaration may be requested. Each adult is allowed 1.1 litres (40 oz.) of liquor, 200 cigarettes, 50 cigars or cigarillos, 200 tobacco sticks and 200 grams (7 oz.) of manufactured tobacco. To calculate the number of days absent, do not count the day you left Canada but include the day you return. If you include cigarettes, tobacco sticks and loose tobacco in your personal exemption allowance, only a partial exemption will apply. You will have to pay a minimum duty on these products unless they are marked “Canada-Duty paid”. Canadian made products sold at duty-free shops will be marked this way.
Airport check-in
Procedures are the same as for departure from Canada.
