Singapore Expat Forum and Message Board for Expats in Singapore & Expatriates Relocating to Singapore

Hi, I’m having the same issue as you. Need to obtain a Certificate of Clearance from the Singapore Police Force for immigration purposes and it’s been impossible to me finding my FIN (being there studying from 1993 to 1995). I’ve already contact MOM and ICA but no good answers. Have you found any so...

Hi all We are looking to relocate to Singapore for a few years from the UK in August pending my husbands EP approval. Due to speed of move we are set to get married only a couple of days before we go. This means I won’t have time to get approval for my DP. Do I still go on a tourist visa whilst I wa...

O-Level is of paramount importance for me because it is the only way for me to re-join mainstream schooling in Singapore whether JC or Poly to restore my Student Pass after being treated unkindly by some persons in secondary school which forced me to leave the schoo l and put in this predicament. I...

Hi Guys. Me and my spouse are Singapore PR. I have a few questions on the LTVP process. 1. I am unemployed since 3 months. I would like to apply LTVP for my parents. Will my unemployment status impact their chances of getting the LTVP. 2. As i understand, they have to visit Singapore on tourist visa...

I suggest you work on a contingency plan and see if you can sit the exams as a private candidate in other countries such as Malaysia, India or perhaps HK. I'm fully aware of that…… that would ruin my academics progress and effectively make me a "retained kid" despite my studies, and it is financial...

Sorry if I missed some details. If you are eligible for 30 days on arrival visa like asean countries, you can try to come over during your exam day or earlier and print out your exam registration, explain to the immigration officer on your entry. If you need to apply visa in your home country first,...

Hi all, this is my first post here and thanks for reading a long message. I was working in Singapore with EP for the past 2.5 years but decided to migrate to UK. I applied UK visa on 31st May and visa is still pending, passport in UK. My EP was cancelled on 18th June and my employer issued me STVP w...

I find it shocking that doing NS no longer guarantees citizenship. I definitely would not have got citizenship without the accelerated program, given my performance during NS. Wonder how do second gen PR justify doing NS nowadays? I cannot imagine having one's immigration status left in limbo for s...

You would need to contact the Nepalese Embassy or the Nepalese Immigration authority to enquire on the options for something like that. I'm pretty sure there is a way, provided you could meet the qualifications required. Every country is different in that respect. It would appear that you can live ...

Hi there! Can I ask for advice: I'm taking O-Level as a Private Candidate this year. I was originally a school student for more than 10 years and held a valid Student Pass as a Vietnamese national and fully assimilated into Singapore's education system until this year I've decided to withdraw from s...

Hello, I have a STVP and have begun the hiring process for new employment. However, it's likely I won't get an EP response (IPA letter) within 30 days before I must exit Singapore. Do I need to return to my home country (USA), or can I exit to for example Malaysia and return to Singapore after 5 day...

Hi all, I am shifting to Singapore in a few days. Not gonna bring much except for personal items. I'm going by bus from Malaysia, and wondering if I can bring these items which will be kept in my luggage. Will they (immigration /customs) throw the item out or can I keep it with me? 1. Shampoo and co...

Do you have any experiences of how the immigration officers react when you leave and come back the same day and do that more or less frequently? Here is the unofficial deal. This carries no official weight, and I take no responsibility as to what might happen to you or you spousal unit by following...
