In order to better organize the visits on board, we need your cooperation!
We would be grateful if you could spread the information among your members and directly collect the confirmations of the interested members by filling in the table attached here, necessary to enter the Changi Naval Base.
Once filled in with the required details, you can send by email to: segreteria2.singapore@esteri.it and to: italsing@outlook.com by 01 May 2023.
Important Notes:
Minors under the age of 16 must be accompanied by their parents.
Being inside a military base, entry will be governed by restrictive security measures, for which your full compliance is required otherwise entry will be denied.
It will not be possible to enter the base with your own car, by taxi or on foot, which will take place in a contingent manner from the main entrance to the naval unit by using shuttle buses.
It will therefore be necessary to book in one of the available slots, planning to arrive at the Changi base at least 15 minutes before the starting time of the slot.
Coming with comfortable footwear is recommended.
