I boarded an SQ flight at SFO, had a one-way ticket.Hithnar wrote: Me and husband entered Singapore with no hustle, no one bothered to check if we have a return ticket (we do have, however valid in 90 days)
Nobody bothered checking the ticket, though the girl at the counter
went to see if I needed a visa for SG. How insulting

Then she gave me sh*t about my overweight luggage, but that's a different story..
Hithnar is a tourist and received a tourist visa whereas you will be looking to stay longer and therefore will be subject to more scrutiny. Me thinks you are gonna get a nasty surprise when you get to Singapore should you by some chance read this beforehand.bogdang wrote:I boarded an SQ flight at SFO, had a one-way ticket.Hithnar wrote: Me and husband entered Singapore with no hustle, no one bothered to check if we have a return ticket (we do have, however valid in 90 days)

Ps: I can't remember but I think the landing card asks the purpose of your visit.

I kinda doubt there will be much problem if the OP already has the necessary FIN number and the notification of acceptance by the school. The return ticket is usually only really required from 3rd world or developing countries or from countries that don't have a visa on arrival agreement with Singapore. Otherwise, get a return ticket with the ability to cash in the return leg without too much penalty.
