Hi surya. I am Indonesian, I was removed from list entering singapore cos I was denied entry in Thailand ( I was using Singapore Airlines) cos of this I had to go back to Jkt which had to transit to singapore first before Jkt. But in Sg the airline staffs took me to Immigration and gave me a letter that mentioned I am removed from entry the country. I can enter if there is PR that can sponsor me. You think I am banned for good? (Forever)

TIA

@Ouudi

To answer your question: Rejected entry to another country has no influence on your eligibility to enter Singapore (except of course if you are an internationally known criminal ...).

I am not a criminal. Just did visa run in Thailand. Which I am still in Thailand (with proper visa this time) but sg gave me removed entry paper in my passport. How do I fix that? I didn't even enter sg. Only transit and they removed me like that. I think it's not really fair

So you were denied entry in Singapore?

That is a different matter and has nothing to do with Thailand!

You should contact ICA to find out if and how the ban can be lifted.

This is very unusual. How did the Singapore authorities know about your issues in Thailand? Ae you sure the Singapore denial of entry has anything to do with Thailand? And what was their reasoning that this would affect your status in Singapore?

I think there is some misunderstanding here. Possibly you are not telling us the whole story.
