Do we need return tickets to show on arrival to Singapore?

[annamans]

My husband and I are about to move to Singapore. He's got P2 Emplyment Pass. Does he need return ticket from UK to show to the Immigration on arrival?

I haven't got Dependant pass yet and will join him in Singapore 2 weeks later. Do I (and my children) need return ticket to show on arrival?

I can't find an answer anywhere.

Not my speciaist area, but what will help those who are is if you advise what passport/s you're all on.

We both don't need a visa to Singapore - just on arrival. I'm Polish and my husband's English.

No all fine for arrival. If you get the VOA, on a flight in from Europe they should give you 90 days. Maybe take a copy of your husbands passport with you. If he can e-mail you a scan of his new visa after he arrives, all the better to (just in case).

Generally a return flight is only required from those who they fear might become a burden on the state.

It's at the whim of ICA and the person checking you in. In most cases, you won't have a problem. But I've been asked a few times to show my IC while checking in for flights that ended in Singapore. (I'm an American).

The appropriate solution to this is ICA/MOM give you an "IPA" with an entry visa when you're tentatively approved for your EP or DP to show to immigration and the airlines.

When we arrived here 4 years ago, we hadn't yet received our passes and didn't have a return ticket. The Immigration man just asked to see my husbands's employment contract and that was it. 30 day stamp and we had arrived.

Once we got our EP & DPs that superseded the original 30 day allowance.
