On entrance to Singapore did they check for my laptop ore ipod content? |
Travel Info Do I have to be aware of anything about custums check at Changi? If I have my return ticket after 30 days is it possible to stamp the entrance visa for few days than that? Did they ask evem for the return tiket? Thank you in advance. Travel Tips The customs officers will not check the content of you laptop or ipod unless there is a tip off. As for the entrance visa, it really depends on the country that you come from some people get 30 day others get 14 days. The immigration usually does not ask for your return ticket but may at times ask to see if you are financially ok to spend 14/30days in the country ie having enough cash (some friends from thailand have told me the immigration dept told them they need at least S$500 about USD$300) or some credit cards etc. One last thing, if your return ticket is after your visa expiry date then you can either go to the immigration dept which is located at 10 Kallang Road ICA Building Singapore 208718 (Next to Lavender MRT station) Tel: 6391 6100 Fax: 6298 0843 / 6298 0837 Website: http://www.ica.gov.sg Email: ica_feedback@ica.gov.sg Or you can just take a day trip into malaysia if you go via bus it should cost you no more than USD$1 and on the return leg you will probably get an extended visa for 2 week from the day you return. Oh point to add ... had a friend once who had 30 days visa and decided to visit malaysia for a day trip after the 3rd day in singapore ... upon returning he only had 14 days visa and not the original dates. Have fun Others No, they don't check your laptop nor ipod content. I'm not sure about the visa stamp. I travel to Singapore quite often and they don't ask for a return ticket. I wouldn't worry about your laptop or ipod: they're more interested in cigarettes and chewing gum (don't bring either!). Singapore immigration are unlikely to ask for your return ticket but your airline might when you check in. Any return ticket should be ok though. You'll probably get a 30 day stamp when you arrive but you can extend it (you can even extend it online at www.ica.gov.sg) or you can cross the bridge to Malaysia and get a new stamp when you come back. However the stamp when coming back from Malaysia will more likely be 14 days. |
