Hi! Does anyone know if they're stricter with the type B in Penang or in Singapore? I've heard horror stories regarding Singapore, but I don't know if it's just hearsay.

Both places will be helpful if you have the right paperwork.

With out a work permit, it would be Singapore. ( You will get only a 90 days visa)

With a work permit, it would be Penang. ( You will get a one year multi entry visa)

Thanks for the advice Sunbelt!

Without a work permit, does an applicant need a WP3 to get a type B visa in Singapore? What is a WP3 anyway? I've seen "WP3" a lot in this forum (and I've even seen a scanned "WP3 application form" but can't seem to see or understand what a plain WP3 really is.

thanks

I believe it is your receipt/temporary work permit available a few days after you make application for a work permit.

It's a "temporary work permit". It shows an application for a real work permit has been filed by a company with all papers required.

Oh, and one more thing. If you're Filipino, does it matter which embassy abroad would be stricter on you? Like for example, is Thai embassy Singapore harder on Filipinos than Thai embassy Penang?

Does anyone have any feedback or stories on this?

Thanks

no

Pre clearance approval for the work permit by the Labor Dept. The application needs to be submitted by the employer.

Penang would probably be tougher as several years ago, over 50 Filipinos were accepted and granted a visa. Later it was found the paperwork from the company was fraudulant. After that heads rolled and Penang has been tougher unless if you have a work permit.

KL and Singapore have been ok for Filiphino's.
