Direct flights to Chaozhou from Singapore? The nearest airport is Jieyang International Airport, which has direct shuttle buses to Chaozhou. I find there are direct flights from Singapore to Jieyang by the Spring Airlines; you may check again.

Singaporeans do not need a visa for staying no more than 30 days. It's advised to prepare the returning flight ticket as a proof of no overstay.
