Understanding the 'Race' Field on Singapore Visa Applications

On Singapore visa forms, "Race" refers to the applicant's ethnic or national origin. You must select one of four categories:

  • Chinese
  • Malay
  • Indian
  • Others

This classification aligns with Singapore's CMIO (Chinese, Malay, Indian, Others) demographic framework used for census and policy planning. The Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) uses it for statistical and administrative purposes, not for discriminatory decisions. All applicants are assessed equally regardless of race.
