Used to hear a lot of 30 days b4 but now 14 are common. Next might be 7 or 3.....

Just two weeks ago. I told her to go Msia again last friday (cos today will be her final stay here)...and stay there for two weeks too. Try my luck again ....ie ten days later. But one thing i notice, we must be nice to the ICA officers. Dont be demanding but be apologetic. Chao chao you also get 7 days. Depend on luck and which officers manning the counters. Try not to go to Indian officers (sorry, no offence to Indian samsters here). Fucking sia lun!!

30 days are normally given if the gers fly to Spore. Land and sea, normally you will get 14 days the most.

But once your gers passport got certain immigration chops behind her passport last page (either from Msia or Spore), my advise is she will likely face problem on her next subsequent trip to Spore/Msia.

30 days stay are only given to bona fide visitors if one fly to Spore. However, she may get 14 days instead. No guarantee she will get 1 mth stay. Take note.

Thats where you start using your head. U may need to "explain" the reasons for your gers subsequent return to Spore. If shes unable communicate in English/Mandarin, then I think you may have a problem there. Likelihood is she be granted 3 days or maybe refuse entry. Unless, of course, u are able to come up with some reasons/excuses/tricks to convince ICA officers. My 2 cts worth.

No need to talk, open her purse, inside a few gold visa cards n thousands of USD, chances higher.

ICA won't bother to hear your explanation cos all the explanation mostly are not true.

Whether to allow u into this island, depends on a few factors. Think about this, y would a ger from Viet wants to come to tour SG over n over again?? What so big abt Sg that u can't finish in the last 14 days???

Ever wonder if spore so small n can finish visitin all the attraction in i tink 7 days, y do ICA have 14 days, 30 days, 90 days stamp???

attract visitor to stay longer?? if they really wanna stay longer y accused them of workin illegally here??? i bet those gals carries large sum of $$ when crossing border so as to justify they r able to maintain themselve here n not wkin.

So y not juz give 7 days stamp for all??

Really fed up w ICA w their ever changing rules n stupid regulation!

Yes, ur rite. As this is their 1st level check, the ICA officers do have their discretion in granting no. of stays. Like I said, be nice to them when you depart from Spore cos you may meet the same officers again when ur gers return to Spore. But, to be frank with you, if your gers managed to stay in Spore total 60 days from her 1st day arrival to Spore ( and subsequent short stays i.e. 14 + 7 + 7 here) you can be considered lucky already! Unless you can afford to spend $$$$ and let your gers stay couple of weeks in Msia and try her luck coming to Spore...she may get another 14 days.

It really depends on the nationalities. You dont see matsalleh WL at Geylang do u? Thats why the latter are granted 30days. Some even 90 days (USA)! Spending power mah. Nationalities like THAI, PRC, INDON WLs are plentiful in GL. Thats why their stays are restricted...I suppose.

Money always talks... fly in via SIA... make sure you got open return trip ticket... fly to Indonesia and fly back to extend visa... can you afford?

No need bro. Just sent her to near by countries for a couple of week. That may save you$$$ by flying her back home.

But for Indon gers, very very tough! From my personal experience, you are not even given a chance to seek higher authority for explanation. Straight away the gers were refused entry!

Bro,

If u fly the HCM-Singapore route often, you will be able to tell whether the gals are WL or not. From the way they dress, from the way they behave etc Most importantly, these gals have mulitple stamps on their passports.

SingViet · #29 18-09-2005, 03:02 PM

There is a customer relations branch of ICA on the 1st floor of ICA building. This department deals with complains about ICA officers and also complicated cases. Bros with Vietnamese wives (with proper papers) but face problems extending their passes can approach this branch for assistance.

And if your gers had adversed stamp stamped on the back of her passport, 99% chances are she'll be refused entry!
