bankruptcy travel
Re: bankruptcy travel
I have never heard of anybody being arrested for bankruptcy. There is nothing to stop you travelling. I suggest you contact your creditors and make arrangements to repay them - dry finding debt advice in your home country. Good luck.
Re: bankruptcy travel
IF you actually were declared bankrupt by a court in Singapore then yes, you have a problem. Bankrupt persons are not meant to travel (out of Singapore) without permission of the court's assignee. IF you were declared bankrupt in absentia then you will almost certainly have some questions from immigration and possibly risk arrest, failing that I'm certain the court's assignee will be in touch with during your time in Singapore.
IF you're saying "oh maybe I am bankrupt as I don't have money to pass those bills" but you're not actually legally bankrupt then you won't have an issue entering barring some other factor.

You've been arrested? Law Society of Singapore can provide referrals.
You want an International School job? School website or http://www.ISS.edu
Your rugrat needs a School? Avoid for profit schools
You need Tax advice? Ask a CPA
You ran away without doing NS? Shame on you!

Re: bankruptcy travel
IF he went bankrupt in Singapore and tries to leave Singapore without the permission of the OA he DOES face the risk of arrest. On his return he definitely will have issues. This only applies if he was bankrupted in Singapore.
