Do I need a license to fly a drone in Singapore?

You don’t need a formal “license” to fly a drone recreationally in Singapore, but you must register any drone over 250g with the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS). If you’re flying above 7kg, or using the drone for non-recreational or commercial purposes, you’ll need to apply for an Operator Permit and a Class 1 Activity Permit. Our course covers the relevant CAAS regulations and prepares you to fly responsibly within legal guidelines.

How much does it cost to get a drone licence in Singapore?
The registration fee for drones over 250g is S$25. For commercial operations, an Operator Permit costs S$700 for the first drone type and S$500 for each additional type, while a Class 1 Activity Permit typically costs S$120 per activity. For more up to date information refer to the official CAAS website here.
Where to fly drones in Singapore for beginners for free?
You can fly drones without a permit in designated Unmanned Aircraft Flying Areas (UAFAs) such as Pandan Reservoir and Dover Road, provided your drone is under 7kg and you follow safety rules. These sites are free to use and approved by CAAS for recreational flying. You can also use the OneMap SG app to check for restricted zones and no-fly areas.
