Re entry visa in Singapore

Post new topic

Hi Admin,

Need your advice yesterday I brought my cousin in Malaysia just to buy some stuff to bring back in manila. Then when we come back custom asked her retuning ticket then my cousin showed that her returning ticket on the 9th of April she need to fly. After that officer ask us to go in the office with my bf his Singaporean. After few hrs they told us my cousin no record to the airlines we shocked coz her sister rebook her ticket. We didn't know her ticket no record. They ask to appeal to ica to get this re enter letter from ica. But what if my boss wants to hire her as spass any possibilities that she can enter in Singapore if the ICA haven't reply to her appeal? And my bf his willing to sponsor her because she's staying at my bf house here Singapore.

Kindly help us how to write an appeal to ica and any chances that she can enter Singapore again with her ipa or spass?

Thank you

Your query has answered many occasions in recent months. To repeat again:

Any declaration at officer found wrong or incorrect or fake would lead to the ban or entry denial. Your above statement shows that your cousin declaration and post verification by the officer has a discrepancy.

If her sister would have booked a ticket, by right anyone can verify by putting PNR number or ticket ref. Or name with ticket details. If it was found that there is no record on her name, then check with her sister if she had really booked or just a dummy ticket like many travel agencies do create.

Now, coming back to your second part of your query, she can able to travel with IPA letter but there are instances where officer still can deny her entry even though she has a valid IPA.

Thirdly, to write a letter to ICA, you can refer old threads I had shared ICA emails, you can write normal letter with incident details and personal information including passport details. If ICA says yes to travel, then she can carry that confirmation letter along with her. If ICA says no, then stay away for a certain period before trying her luck. No sponsorship will work in this situation.

A wise advice, avoid trying to declare any false information which will give longer ban. Good luck

Thank you sir,

But may I know is it lifetime ban? Because today we tried to enter with the new ticket everything but still cannot enter. They said still must go to ica and appeal.

Sir is it good to put in her appeal letter that she got the job here even the spass haven't approve? Or we cannot put that on her appeal?

Appreciate your reply.
Thank you

You don’t need to tell, they can easily see that work
Pass is pending under her name. Both ICA and MoM share information to each other.

Why you guys keep trying to enter, when you know very clearly that she got earlier denials due to showing fake return ticket (By looking at your above message, I can guess that earlier her Sister didn’t book return ticket). So, stop trying again and again, it will lead to few years ban. You have said that your bf is a Singaporean but how come he doesn’t know this basic rule?

Next time, ask her to visit only when ICA confirms or else avoid. Good luck

Hi,

Permission to post. I need help on my case. I am employed in Singapore for several years already and it so happened that my recent company have no quota to renew my employment so I was being laid-off.

During my alotted SVP, I tried my best to apply and another company applied my pass last 22 Apr 2019; my last day in my SVP is on 27 Apr 2019 so I exited in Singapore last 25 Apr 2019 here in Malaysia via travelling in bus .While here in Malaysia, I am visiting my best friend's house.

My first question is will I be in trouble entering Singapore via Entry in Airport terminal if i only have these details:
•Pending EP application (til date)
•Return ticket to my home country on 10 May 2019
•Accomodation booking until 9 May 2019
•I have no record of being denied of Entry by ICA

Second question, is it a good idea to entry via Bus to Singapore or Plane?

Looking forward for generous answers to my questions. Thank you very much in advance.

I don't think there will be a problem if you stay outside of Singapore for a minimum of 5 days (thus less visa run suspicion). Entering by land or air should not matter.

vadax

Anyone here have a success of coming back to Singapore again after the 5days from exiting Singapore?

beppi

Yes, I have done that a few months ago. I was in Indonesia for 9 days.

vadax

Thank you Beppi for a very prompt and kind help on informations. More blessings to you. 🙏🙏🙏

Hi To All,

Posting for an update to my query. I am now in Singapore for an extended stay of 30days. Just follow the advice by Beppi and everything will run smooth. Just make yourself presentable to immigration and avoid being suspected as a gangster. ahhaa.

Kudos to Sir Beppi. Thank you again.
