Non citizens/PRs spouse / children / parents and such don't get much of a listening ear at ICA counter for renewal.ping_pong wrote:Too long didnt read.
All i can say is you can appeal over the counter if its rejected. At the end of the day ICA staff are still people and they will listen and try to help if the situation is genuine, of course that means that you should follow all the rules and procedures and get ready everything to prove your case when you go see them at ICA.

Heck, I may have a beer if ICA allows everybody who goes to the counter seeking extension .. i.e. those non SC/non PRC relatives.PNGMK wrote:You too new here. Don't give unverified advice.ping_pong wrote:Too long didnt read.

I can safely say 99% their reply will be 'you can't extend if online extension is denied .. '
Ah, welcome to the Forum.ping_pong wrote: Same as my previous reply. Dont be so negative.
You never try you never know. And in fact nobody is stopping you from appealing over the counter. So why not?
Even you, in your reply, admitted that there's still 1% chance of ICA not saying no.
Its been a while since my last visit to the forum. Hope OP has got a positive outcome.

I may be new to this forum but I've been 13 years and counting in Singapore.
For verified case, my friend JUST came back from ICA with good news. Online extension for another month was rejected. So she went to ICA this morning with a PR friend acting as sponsor and got approved over the counter. JUST THIS MORNING.
Lets put a conclusion to this. Stay positive. No harm trying. As long as its not illegal, go for it. Who knows, you may get it you may not, but if you don't take the leap of faith you will get nothing, for sure.
Good day everybody.

Quick background: I come from a country where I need to apply in advance for a visa for Singapore. Upon entry in Singapore, I get a 30-day short-term visit pass stamp on my passport. My reasons for staying in Singapore are all above-aboard and there is nothing in my background or travel history that should cause any consulate alarm.
Questions:
If the short-term visit pass extension is granted through e-XTEND, does the extension apply to my current stay within Singapore only? That is, the moment that I step out of Singapore does this extended short-term visit pass 'expire'?
And if I wish to re-enter Singapore (after >5 days), my entry will be based on my original (multiple-entry) *valid* visa, NOT only my extended but still valid short-term visit pass? Or, if perchance on that date my original visa is past its due date, I will not be allowed to enter Singapore?
Thanks a ton!
