Singapore For Americans

[HC82]

What is the max stay for the visa on arrival in Singapore for American passport holders?

Also I've read this can be extended in-country, possibly even online? Is this accurate? If so can it be extended multiple times/what is the max stay?

Thanks!

I got 90 days on arrival.

Still curious if I can extend this easily without leaving the country. Anybody know? Is it possible online? Can you extend back-to-back a bunch of times?

Visa on arrival is either 30 or 90 days, it's pretty much up to the immigration officer. Having said that, if you put on your arrival card you will be in town for 35 days they will just stamp it 90 for you.

Back to back is not a problem, just run over to JB and come back, a new 90 days. I know people who have done this REPEATEDLY (ie, more than 3 or 4 times) And were never questioned. As a mate put it, being farung there has it's advantages.

But I don't know about doing it "in-country", but JB is only a short taxi ride

I just checked my two entries to Singapore: one by land (JB), the other by air (Aust); both were issued 90 days and I never asked for the long stay...

I put just three days on the arrival card and got 90. That part seems standard.

Thanks.

Still curious about the online thing.

Cool find. It does say you can only do it once:

This facility allows you to apply online for a one-time extension for a short term Visit Pass.

and extends 89 days.

Thanks.

Two things about that suck.

1. Have to have a local sponsor

2. Have to stay out out for 5 days before returning

I think I'll just do the taxi to the border thing every 90 days.
