Things To Bring

After pre-registering your IC/FIN/Passport number using SFA’s Visitor Management System: https://vmsreg.sfa.gov.sg/, scan your IC barcode at the turnstile when you reach the guard house (Singpass is accepted). You may approach the security for any assistance if any help is required.

Footwear with good grip that you don’t mind getting dirty. The floor will be wet and slippery but wash points can be found along the way.

Cooler bag if you plan on purchasing seafood.

Cash on standby as many any of the merchants only deal in cash terms.
