Re: PR application still pending. applied June 2018

Re: NEED ONWARD TICKET (SINGAPORE)?
My daughter flew in on a British passport with no onward ticket and no issues. She left and entered Sg several times in a 7 week period before finally picking up a cheap flight to Europe.

Re: One guy dodging , one guy critically injured!

Re: question about apply EP
Thats not how it works.
Need someone to offer you a job, you agree, and then they apply for you a pass.
The employee doesnt apply for the pass.
Just come on a standard tourist visa and give it a go looking for work.
