Why travel to Singapore?
Singapore is a small country, home to just 5.5 million people and stretching across just 728 square kilometers. There are many reasons to travel to Singapore, such as its amazing food, stunning architecture, clean aesthetic and endless shopping and entertainment. And Australians clearly agree.
In 2019, Singapore was the 9th most popular tourist destination for Aussie travellers, with more than 417,000 of us stopping by that year for an average of eight days. If you're looking to head overseas sometime soon, then why not pick Singapore for your next adventure?
What is a travel loan?
A travel loan, or holiday loan, is simply a personal loan used to pay for travel expenses. According to our data, holiday and travel are commonly listed as one of the most common reasons for taking out a loan, with customers using them to pay for some of the following:
- Flight costs
- Accommodation
- Travel insurance
- Transport and car hires
- Tours and activities
- Activities and events
With holidays (particularly overseas ones) easily costing five figures, a holiday loan can allow you to avoid paying for the whole thing in a lump sum or overspending with a credit card. By borrowing a lump sum to be repaid in manageable instalments, you know exactly what your trip will cost before you even leave the country with a travel loan.
About our travel loans for Singapore
Singapore can become an expensive place to visit depending on the type of trip you're after, and once you factor in your flights, accommodation, dinners and entertainment, it's easy for costs to spiral.
Using travel payment methods like a credit card, travel money card or good old cash to pay for your trip can make it easy to go over budget if you're not careful, which is where a quick travel loan with Jacaranda Finance can come in handy.
Our express holiday loans can provide up to $25,000 and loan terms as long as 48 months, with fixed interest rates ensuring your minimum repayments always stay the same. With rapid 5-12 minute applications1, same-day approvals2 and 60-second transfers3 available 100% online, you could have the funds you need for your Singapore holiday in no time.

THE APPLICATION PROCESS
We Make Applying Easy

That’s why our loan application process has been perfected over time to be as simple and quick as possible.
How much does it cost to travel to Singapore from Australia?
The cost of a holiday in Singapore often isn't too high, as most trips there are short. According to a survey by the Singapore Tourism Board, the average spend per Australian tourist in Singapore was SGD 1,967 (approximately AUD $2,036) in 2019. Budget Yout Trip meanwhile states the average daily budget for a mid-range trip to Singapore is roughly $181.
The overall cost of your trip will be different depending on a number of factors, primarily:
- Your length of stay
- Your destination(s) within Singapore
- Your accommodation
- The activities you get up to
- The time of year you book and the airline you fly with
And more. Flights and accommodation will generally be your biggest expenses when travelling to Singapore, although Skyscanner quotes the cheapest return flight from Australia (as of March 2023) at just $296. Flights can easily rise as high as $800 or more though.
For accommodation, you'll typically spend an average of $113 per night (for each person), according to Budget Your Trip.

What to do/see in Singapore
There are many great things to do and see in Singapore as a tourist, but here are five top recommendations we've managed to narrow them down to.
|
Gardens by the Bay This iconic park features beautiful gardens, impressive vertical gardens, and the famous Supertree Grove. It's a must-visit destination for anyone travelling to Singapore. |
|
Marina Bay Sands This famous hotel and casino offers stunning views of the city skyline from its observation deck, infinity pool, and rooftop restaurants. It's a great place to relax and enjoy the sights. |
|
Sentosa Island Sentosa Island is home to a variety of attractions, including the Universal Studios Singapore theme park, S.E.A. Aquarium, and Adventure Cove Waterpark. |
|
Chinatown Singapore's vibrant Chinatown district offers a glimpse into Singapore's rich history and culture. Visitors can explore traditional shophouses, browse the street markets, and sample delicious local food. |
|
Singapore Zoo This world-renowned zoo features a wide variety of animals, including orangutans, tigers, and elephants. Visitors can also enjoy animal shows and interactive exhibits. |
Health and safety concerns for travellers in Singapore
Singapore is generally a safe and welcoming place for tourists, and as of 2023, the Australian Government classifies Singapore as requiring a 'normal degree of caution'. But like any country, there are a few things you should be careful of as a visitor.
- Laws and regulations: Singapore has strict laws and regulations that visitors should be aware of, such as restrictions on chewing gum, littering, and smoking in public areas. Violations of these laws can result in fines or other penalties.
- Scams and pickpocketing: While violent crime against tourists is rare, you should be aware of potential scams and pickpocketing. It's important to keep an eye on your belongings, especially in crowded areas such as public transport, night markets, and tourist attractions.
- Food hygiene: Singapore is known for its delicious food, but it's important to be cautious about food hygiene. Stick to reputable restaurants and street vendors, and be sure to wash your hands regularly.
- Weather and climate: Singapore has a hot and humid tropical climate, so visitors should be prepared for the heat and humidity. Stay hydrated and wear lightweight, breathable clothing. Monsoon seasons from December-March and June-September can also bring heavy rain and wind.
- Cultural norms: Singapore is a multicultural country, and visitors should be respectful of local customs and norms. For example, it's important to dress appropriately when visiting religious sites and to remove your shoes before entering someone's home.
- Political unrest and terrorism: Unauthorised public demonstrations are illegal in Singapore, and there is a minor ongoing risk of terrorism in areas popular with foreigners. Take official warnings seriously.
By keeping these tips in mind, visitors can have a safe and enjoyable trip to Singapore. Strongly consider taking out an appropriate travel insurance policy before you go, just in case something happens. While medical facilities in Singapore are high-quality, treatment is also much more expensive compared to Australia.
