Singapore
Singapore is one of the 193 UN member states, in South-Eastern Asia. UN Tourism counted 19.1 million international arrivals there in 2019, more visited than 87% of the 199 places with figures, so its stamp in Globestamp is printed in Metallic.

The Singapore stamp
Every country in Globestamp has its own stamp, drawn after a real entry stamp. Its finish shows how few travelers get there. Singapore’s is Metallic: ink with mica in it, the finish for places with 15 to 40 million visitors a year. With 19.1 million international arrivals in 2019, Singapore is more visited than 87% of the 199 places with figures. See every stamp on the stamp wall, or the rarest on the least-visited countries.
What counts as a visit to Singapore
The common rule among travelers is that you set foot there: an airport layover usually doesn’t count, and a port where you went ashore does. Globestamp counts Singapore when one of your photos was taken on its ground, or just off its coast; a photo taken from a plane never counts. Photos only at an airport make a transit stamp in lighter ink, counted only if you count layovers. Read more in how to count the countries you’ve visited.
Places in Singapore you can collect
Under the country itself, Globestamp keeps layers of places on your globe, and a photo taken at one ticks it. These are the ones it knows in Singapore, from 1 World Heritage Site.
