Although a Singapore tourist visa allows you to visit the country, you must first obtain a Singapore Short-Term Visit Pass before entering the country. It implies that the visa is only a pre-entry permit, not a Singapore entry guarantee.

All Short-Term Visit Pass applications must be submitted online using the e-Service. You may also consult a visa consultant in that matter.
