Second questions is I had a friend I've know during my college days in Chicago. She wanted to visit SG as a tourist so I applied for her via SAVE some time in Sep 2016 but got rejected. Given I applied right before her travel date, I didn't bother appealing at ICA. I have no reason why she was rejected, she comes from a very well off family and as far as I understand has not visited SG before.
Wanted to check if her rejection will
(i) negatively affect her in her future applications to visit SG and
- May be. depends on why it was rejected earlier. It can be a small issue like typo, etc or a big reason too. So, we cant guess here.
(ii) negatively affect my ability to apply for SVP for my gf via SAVE.
- No, it won't affect
P.S. Since she comes over monthly and I fly over monthly to HK, I would need to continuously reapply for new SVP for her via SAVE, wanted to know if applying one after another would create any issues for approval. Thanks.
Once She has visited 2-3 times a year and if you reapply again and again, it will surely raise eyebrows.
Thanks for the reply.singaporeflyer wrote:danliang137 wrote:

not to state the obvious, if she was holding any other passport, she won't be put under any watch list.silvermoon137 wrote:Dan here. I understand the LT requirement part but not how visiting each month for 2-3 days might raise eyebrowns. I'm applying for SVP and is it not normal for people dating but working in different locations to visit each other monthly?
If she was staying for long time or doing visa runs sure it should raise eyebrowns but making weekend trips in the 21st century. I'm not sure I agree with that. Thanks for the advice though bro.

I am sure you knew that.
And, this is Asia, if are dating for months, it would be safer to get some form of longer residency than pushing your luck
edited: missed the part about dating for 5+ years ... Good luck.
Just remember this, even with a VISA, ICA can and has refused entry on arrival.
I'm all for restricting entry of most. I mean the number of joints has increased pretty sharply these days and it's quite worrying for me.sundaymorningstaple wrote:It's not the government who makes it difficult, it's the Ah Pek's who cannot say no to a young thing who will cater to his every need will draining his banks account and CPF and then ditching him to find another rube.

A Nanny state who tries to protect people from themselves. This usually causes a lot a grief for those like you and your intended, from enjoying their courtship that way it should be allowed. What to do? There is no welfare system in Singapore as you well know, so the government has to somehow restrain men from being men.
Singapore is still rich enough to be an attractive destination for the hundreds of jobseekers who land every day, from Asia ..danliang137 wrote: Yet I think it would be worthwhile to put in some effort on ICA's part and ask for more materials. I can always provide more stuff for them to evaluate mah plus got age and all haha. Back in 1990s and early 2000s everyone want to come to SG cause its a lot better here mah, not sure if that's still a simple an equation today as it was back then lah.
as for providing more stuff etc, the solution is obviousdanliang137 wrote:.
See how lah I update you. Thanks boss for the input. Btw anyway to avoid these kind of unnecessary issues? Like come once per 2 month instead of once per month? Will always been weekend trip one so I not worried about extended stay or staying more than 5 days that kind of stuff.
married must first show her where she live right haha. precisely cause we're looking at marriage that's why important to visit and build up a liking for SG. this whole marriage whatever thing is really pretty outdated IMHO. still got all the approvals lol. no offense but i think rather than do 1X blanket policy much better to review properly lah.ecureilx wrote:Singapore is still rich enough to be an attractive destination for the hundreds of jobseekers who land every day, from Asia ..danliang137 wrote: Yet I think it would be worthwhile to put in some effort on ICA's part and ask for more materials.

Get married, get long term pass - problem gone!!
I guess marriage is not on the plans any time in the near future ??
Then no choice....
I thought you knew marriage simplifies residency headaches, not just in Singapore but in most places.danliang137 wrote: married must first show her where she live right haha. precisely cause we're looking at marriage that's why important to visit and build up a liking for SG. this whole marriage whatever thing is really pretty outdated IMHO. still got all the approvals lol. no offense but i think rather than do 1X blanket policy much better to review properly lah.

Singapore tightened the policies .. .. because Citizens Asked for it. Need I say more ?Also we're one of the only few countries that got all the complexed process for approval post marriage haha. Unfortunately we actually need that haha. See how see how.
