Traxster Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 (edited) I have booked a flight Bangkok to Sydney via Singapore and just noticed a few lines on my ticket that say....: "If you have booked connecting flights,please note that you will have to collect your check-in bags, exit the transit area, clear Arrival Immigration and then re-check them at the check-in counter in Singapore for you connecting flight. It is your responsibility to ensure a valid Visa for Singapore and for your destination" My question is,does anyone know if I can get a Visa for Singapore on arrival,as we do here on arriving at Suvarnabhumi, or must I arrange it,the Visa, before I leave Thailand?. All responses gratefully accepted. Cheers Y'all... Edited August 24, 2012 by 7by7 Font normalised; please do not post all in bold, see forum rules.

Mario2008 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Might help if you give your nationality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaiLai Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Don't think you need a visa for Sing, what passport you got? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
londoedan Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 If you're an Aussie or from any of the Commonwealth countries then you'll be fine - last few times I've been through Sing they've given me a 90 day stamp on arrival - no questions asked (wish I had enough money to spend 90 days there !). Same with Asean countries, they get a 30 day stamp. I think that even citizens from countries such as China and KSA have not needed a visa, provided your visiting and not working.

canman Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Don't think you need a visa for Sing, what passport you got? Visa on arrival for most western and EU countries. As said above your nationality is relevent to your question, I am assuming that the 'Y'all' may have been your way of saying where your from?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psych01 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Hi Traxster, I would check on Singapore immigration but I think you can get one on arrival for 90 days tourist free, depends on your nationality etc. I am a Brit and went back to Sing in March for a visa for Thailand, as I entered the checked my passport and stamped it.

David48 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 As an Aussie, you get the equivalent of a Visa on Arrival called a 'Visit Pass'. If, per chance, you are flying the new budget Airline Scoot, my gf just did that 3 weeks ago from Singapore into the Gold Coast. And yes, you do have to enter into Singapore, collect your bags and re check-in. For others reading this, the Thai gf did not need to obtain a Visa before entering Singapore. More information in the Travel Forum about the Singapore Airport here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traxster Posted August 25, 2012 Author Share Posted August 25, 2012 To the many Thai Visa contributors who responded to my query, Thankyou all very much. For the record I am a New Zealander travelling on a NZ passport and after reading all of the advice presented here I am sure that I will have no problems passing through Singapore Airport. Thanks again Y'all.......... Traxster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
