data-start=\"1807\" data-end=\"1839\">Electronic Visit Pass (e-Pass)<\/li><\/ul><p data-start=\"1841\" data-end=\"1948\">The e-Pass is issued after arrival and tells the traveler how long they are allowed to remain in Singapore.<\/p><p data-start=\"1950\" data-end=\"1962\">For example:<\/p><ul data-start=\"1963\" data-end=\"2079\"><li data-section-id=\"en6q34\" data-start=\"1963\" data-end=\"2014\">A visa may be valid for several weeks or months<\/li><li data-section-id=\"bk8vf4\" data-start=\"2015\" data-end=\"2079\">But the actual stay granted may only be for a shorter
