Sorry if this has been covered, but I couldn't seem to find.
My girlfriend is moving to Singapore for 1 year for work. My job in the US allows me to work remotely and I'd like to join her. We're not technically domestic partners and I don't have any plans to work for a company based in Singapore.
What are my options? Staying for 90 days and trying to re-enter every few months as a visitor? Any sort of extended short-term visas?
Thanks for any help.

Yes, basically. The 90 days you get as an American is already the extended versionWP5656 wrote:S

But you can't back-to-back the holiday visa in order to live in SG.zzm9980 wrote:Yes, basically. The 90 days you get as an American is already the extended versionWP5656 wrote:S

But that would give you up to 6 months pa, not exactly a holiday...
I'd suspect as an westerner you might be able to squeeze three in within a year...
Up to 9 months!? Nah.... don't see it myself. Even starting with a completely clean immigration sheet and doing all the exits/trips/rentries right I reckon you'd be hard pressed to get over 120 days SVP a year even if they liked the look of you and your passport. But I suppose no one ought to be trying to do this anyway...
But it's all at your own risk, and there is no official guidance on this.

I am the person and it is in the ICA guideline book. You have to return back to your country of origin. 6 months after 90 dayszzm9980 wrote:Yeah, I think someone else said six months between three month visits to not invite further scrutiny from ICA.

OR you are travelling around this region and using SG as a stopover. The proof will be in your itinenary
Another way is to apply for business visa pass. Not sure on the procedure though
