What passport do you hold ?abcx12 wrote:I understand that a person can stay for 30 days on Short Term Visit Pass...and he must carry a return/onward airtickets with him while entering Singapore....I plan to extend my stay for 30 days more....(so total 60 days stay) ....so i plan to book my return ticket 60 days from the date i enter Singapore.....hence, when i enter first enter Singapore ...my visa duration (30 days) and return date (60 days) won't match...so my question is whether ICA wont allow me to enter Singapore....
And that's how you feed incorrect information. Just because it worked for you doesn't mean it's gonna work for others. Especially those holding Asian Passports.BBCWatcher wrote: 1. An onward ticket is sufficient as long as the onward ticket is to a country that you can enter (you have a visa or visa waiver). (But if you actually use that onward ticket then you'll need another onward or return ticket segment again.) For example, it could be a $30 one-way "throwaway" ticket to Kuala Lumpur if you have a visa (or visa waiver) for Malaysia.
If you hold an Indian passport, with visa in hand, preferably, your return in 30 days should be back to India.abcx12 wrote:this query is for indian passport
Stop looking for arguments, Ecureilx. You can find them behind your ears for all I care. Or go argue with ICA because that's their rule, not mine.ecureilx wrote:And that's how you feed incorrect information.
As I said, if Immigration starts to take a close look, things can go down pretty fast. A lot of people don't even get to produce the return ticket, but playing safe is best - than taking a chance that ICA wont' ask for a return ticket. When they ask and you don't have it, you may still be let in or sent back. Again, my suggestion is to play safe, than push your luck.lot286 wrote:I believe there is a difference between a "sponsored" visa and an unsponsored visa - in the way customs treat you? I recall, when my relatives come over, I'd sponsor them (as a PR / relative) - and they NEVER check or ask for the return tickets. In fact i had the same dilemma when i first did it for my mother in law. i first had to book a return ticket roughly 30 days after her entry and made sure she carried with her- but in the end, customs did not ask her to produce it. and i had to pay extra to rebook her ticket after successfully extending her stay up to 90 days.
Sorry Ecu, but it sounds hard to believe. I mean, I believe the guy might have been sent back but I am finding very hard to accept the reason for it as you suggested. What would be the logic behind? I will go one step further and say, if the reason was as you said, that would be just plain stupid and very bad practice for the well being of Singapore tourism based part of the economy.ecureilx wrote:And recently when a guy who was taking up a job here flew down from Philippines with a return ticket to KL and ICA shipped him back to Philippines I should have demanded ICA read the notes in the link you provided. Bunch of jokers in ICA. Demanding the person hold return ticket back to his country of origin.
