I was a little surprised that this was not directly addressed on the www.ica.gov.sg website. You know like, 'Entry requirements: Onward or return ticket, and proof of adequate funds for intended duration of stay'. That used to be a pretty standard requirement in many countries...IanE wrote:If I get a one way ticket to Singapore, will I be able to get through immigration and into Singapore?
The reason that I ask is that I would imagine that I would initially get a tourist visa on arrival at Singapore airport, so I really don't want to get to Singapore and find myself turned away!
Do not confuse the OP. The AIP would still apply for this case, regardless.ecureilx wrote:but, if you are coming from certain Asian countries, they will not allow you to depart without proof of return -
sorry, maybe your country and my country doesn't care much .. a lot of countries immigration won't allow you to leave, if you dont' have a return ticket - and they will go on to insist AIP - approval, you haven't collected it yet- which is truly and legally correct. and that's how those Immigration sees it ..the lynx wrote:Do not confuse the OP.

If OP is as paranoid as ecureilx, s/he can personally check with the airline before the flight, just to be sure.
I don't suppose many Asians would be called Ian and write 'I've had my Employment Pass approved (hurrah!)'ecureilx wrote:My answer stands. if he / she is from 'most' Asian countries ..

You answer is just confusing the question which I believe is whether or not SINGAPORE immigration would require an onward ticket. Which, if he has the AIP in hand, he does not.If I get a one way ticket to Singapore, will I be able to get through immigration and into Singapore?

When you check in at Heathrow they will question how long you are intending to stay in Sginagpore, why you don't have an onwards/return ticket and your Singapore immigration status. I get asked every timeIanE wrote:Thanks, I'm just looking at booking the flights now.
And thanks for the links, it's all useful stuff to know, especially from people who have gone through the same thing!
Yes, I believe that this is related to the airline not wanting to potentially get collared with unticketed compulsory deportation cases.Saint wrote:When you check in at Heathrow they will question how long you are intending to stay in Sginagpore, why you don't have an onwards/return ticket and your Singapore immigration status.

I'll make sure that I have my AIP letter on hand when I check in at Heathrow too, so hopefully I should be okay with a one way flight - I've bought one now, so I hope so!Saint wrote: When you check in at Heathrow they will question how long you are intending to stay in Sginagpore, why you don't have an onwards/return ticket and your Singapore immigration status.
