junkofdavid2 Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astral Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Both places will be helpful if you have the right paperwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard horror stories regarding Singapore, but I don't know if it's just hearsay. 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) www.sunbeltasiagroup.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkofdavid2 Posted September 8, 2006 Author Share Posted September 8, 2006 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 I believe it is your receipt/temporary work permit available a few days after you make application for a work permit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meadish_sweetball Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunbelt Asia Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Without a work permit, does an applicant need a WP3 to get a type B visa in Singapore? no What is a WP3 anyway? Pre clearance approval for the work permit by the Labor Dept. The application needs to be submitted by the employer. 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? 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. www.sunbeltasiagroup.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
