Tourist Visa In Singapore

[zthyadat]

I searched and haven't seen any recent postings on this topic. Looks like nobody is doing the run to Singapore anymore.

Can any recent visa runners tell me if tourist visas are still free in Singapore? I read that the program was extended until March of next year (2011)

Has anyone recently tried to get a tourist visa there and had problems, such requiring a bank balance or onward ticket?

Oh yes, and I am a UK citizen.

Thanks for your help.

Yes, it looks like Singapore is being shunned for tourist visa applications. The latest report on it I saw was this one:

Ozi colleague went there last month. Says TV was free but they wanted an onward tkt OR 1000Sin$ cash shown up front as guarantee. Don't think he'll be going there again for a while.

Has anyone tried getting a double entry Thai Tourist Visa in Singapore?

On their web site the requirements are listed:

1. One completed and signed visa application form

2. One recent passport-sized photograph (3.5 x 4.5cm)

3. Passport (valid for no less than 6 months)

4. Airline ticket or confirmation slip with flight number and date of entry/exit

5. Evidence of adequate finance ($1000 per person and $2000 per family)

6. Visa of a third country in a passport or travel document

How strict is the airline ticket requirement? DO they just glance at it or do they take it in with the visa application?

To show "Evidence of adequate finance" is a print-out of an internet banking web page good enough? 1000 SGD is around 24000 THB.

I am flying down weds to get a new tourist visa for my cambodia GF> I called the embassy and they told me they need to see her ticket in and out of Singapore and in and out of Thailand.

No mention of Money
