IPA holder with history of refusal

In most cases, you can enter with a valid IPA.

But if you want to be absolutely sure, contact ICA before you travel!

Thank you for your reply Beppi..

My employer called the ICA and was advised that I need to seek clearance through them. An appeal to entry was sent by my employer last December 09 together with the accomplished ICA forms but until now no outcome yet. It is already on its 5th week now since submission. I even tried calling ICA but only their customer service representative is taking the call thus they cannot check the status from their end.

I am thinking of entering Singapore this coming Friday ( Dec 13) with just my IPA but I am worried with what would be the worst thing can happen if ever I'll be refused again.

There you already have the answer, from a more authorized source than anyone here.

Thus do not try to enter without prior clearance with ICA!

Thank you so much Beppi..

@rose garcia51 did Singapore immigration allowed to enter with a valid ipa

@Rose Garcia51 Please take serious note that the ICA has a very long memory history with regards to the movement of each visitor in and out of Singapore.

If you had previously been refused clearance and entry by the ICA, you must seek for clearance again if you want to enter Singapore.

in your case, since you have been issued an IPA, you will need to contact the ICA and provide all relevant information & documents including the IPA for their review and reference.

Also do note that it is at the ICA’s discretion in making the final decision on your immigration clearance (even if you have an IPA).

@Rose Garcia51 hi rose. any update for you on this? I have same exact reason of refusal of entry. Bu still looking for a job. I was refused for entry because if keep coming back to singapore.

@azaleamitch0108 As you can see above, Rose Garcia51 has not responded to a previous question here (by Shybin Biju in January).

But if you are in the same situation as her, the advice we gave her above might also apply to you.
