The man, named in documents as Yogvitam Pravin Dhokia, was arrested after walking onto the track between Turns 13 and 14.
CCTV footage showed he gained access through a gap in the street circuit's fencing, a move race winner Sebastian Vettel called "crazy".
A court in Singapore charged the man with committing an "act so rashly as to endanger the personal safety of the drivers involved in the race, to wit, by crossing the race track while the race is ongoing."
He faces up to six months in jail and/or a maximum fine of £1143 (2500 Singapore dollars).
