Visa Run To Singapore

[tutsiwarrior]

people have said that Penang is no longer an option for certain types of non - imm 'O' type visas...only KL and S'pore instead as local options...anyone got any recommendations regarding inexpensive flights and accommodation in S'pore for this purpose? I would prefer S'pore to KL as I know the place and public transport is cheap and clean.

However, S'pore is an expensive place relative to SEA in general and I would expect to pay USD50 per night for a basic but clean hotel room...don't expect to stay any longer than required to get the new non-imm 'O' visa...

any one night packages?...Thai tour agents that are accommodating?...etc., etc...

Here are some budget hotel listings. I stayed at the YMCA International House (about $50.00)because it was inexpensive and convenient location. And you are right, Singapore is expensive.

holy shed...USD50 for the YMCA?...I'll be coming with the wife, she won't be able to get a shower in the 'men only' facilities there...jostling with leather men, cops in uniform, red indians with headdresses, etc...

I can recommend any of the hotel 81 chain as they are clean and cheap'45-55 sing dollars a night.No fridge but tv coffee facilities etc.Stayed there 30+ times transiting thru sing and never a problem

Hey tutsi, go to the counter at the airport that does the hotel bookings. I got a fairly decent room there for about 60 rocks. Seemed like they had a lot of deals. Flying down there on Air Asia or Tiger is cheapest I think dood

anyone know whether the airport hotel booking service is as cheap as booking in advance? If so, sounds like a good way to go for an overnight arrangement...

also...what's the drill at the embassy?...drop off in the am and collect the next day in the pm like Penang?

[my friend I]

The airport booking service is free. If u fly Tiger u land at the Low cost airport [ not Changi]
