Jump to navigation Jump to search

Singapore is a tiny country in Southeast Asia. It is super modern compared surrounding Malaysia and Indonesia and can thus feel very exhausting for a backpacker traveling in the region, but on the other hand offers good opportunities for making quickly some money.

  • As of 2015 this information seems a bit outdated, check before you come. As american or european tourist you might be fine. A friend of mine travelled with his GF from thailand (thai citizen), at the airport he needed to sign a invitation letter for her (50K SGD guarantee) and the visa for surrounding countries (might only be for ladies) is max. 30 days, where they also say that you cannot leave Singapore for one day to Malaysia anymore. You only get a visa extension if you use SIN (Changi Airport). Another friend had similar issues with his Philipinne GF, which needed to return to the Philipinnes after trying to enter the country for a third time without a work permit. So better check before you go.

Types of visa and cost

  • Business Visa - persons attending business negotiations, discussions, conferences, seminars, etc.
  • Social Visit Pass/Student Pass (Singapore Travel Visa, Singapore Tourist Visa): Maximum of 3 months. Professional Visit Pass: Up to 6 months. Visitors on a Social Visit Pass are not permitted to work in Singapore.
