Singapore Non Imm O Visa Multiple Entry

[DaamNaam]

Hi there.

Anyone have the latest news on Singapore regarding Non Imm O multiple entry visas?

I've heard both yay and nay lately, any help would be much appreciated.

I got one with no problems this time last year, and their website says they are still doing multiple entry.

Regards.

My wife (Thai) checked with them just before we decided to go to Savanakhet, Laos instead.

Singapore was short/rude on the phone with her.  Standard list of necessary items including marriage certificate, copy of her ID, etc, etc.  They made a big point of saying we needed 400,000 Baht in the bank - to the point of making it sound like we obviously couldn't afford it.

And then dropped the bombshell that they would only issue a double entry visa regardless if we had the money in the bank. This was around 2 months ago now.

I'd strongly suggest going to Savanakhet, who were friendly, helpful and quick. I know others have had good luck with KL too.

But, I don't think Singapore is a good choice.

Unless you are a national or resident of Singapore do not believe a multi entry will be issued from previous reporting. But if you got last year perhaps you can get again.

Non Immigrant O based on marriage, multiple entry in hand, and I'm not a Singaporean.

As i said before I've never had a problem there.

One of your mods stated on here that the embassy was closed on Monday the 12th for Constitution day, which was false.

Please update your info on here as it is misleading for those wanting current info. You are Thai "visa" after all, and people look here for info.

Thai Consulates are normally closed on both Thai and local holidays but the 12th is a substitute holiday so may remain open if not also a local holiday/substitute - but always best to check first.

My point was one of your moderators posted a few days before that Thai embassies abroad would be closed, I called three i know of and all were staying open.
