Singaporean immigration authorities confirmed that travelers holding Tunisian or Algerian passports must continue to obtain a visa before departing for Singapore. This requirement applies to all purposes, including tourism, business, study, and family visits.

While several African nations have been granted simplified entry procedures, Tunisia and Algeria remain on a list of countries requiring visas. This policy, which also includes nations such as Morocco, Libya, Egypt, Nigeria, Mali, Sudan, and Somalia, is based on regular assessments of migration flows, border security, and traveler control measures.
