Minimum 5 days spend outside of Singapore before you return here. Again it’s immigration officer who may or may not allow depends on various other factors. I can’t comment further as I don’t know any history of you. You should read Expat open forums here, we have already discussed briefly. Good luck

As a rule of thumb (although this is unfortunately not an official rule and the officer can decide otherwise), you have better chances to get a full 30 days after being absent from Singapore at least as long as you were in the country before that.
If you have legitimate reasons (in the eyes of the Singapore authorities) to stay longer, you better contact ICA before expiry of your current pass and get an extension. If you don't have legitimate reasons, you are likely to get into trouble if you attempt to stay longer or return after a short time.
