SETV in Singapore on an Aussie passport

[bbi1]

How easy/difficult is it to get a Single Entry Tourist Visa in Singapore on an Aussie passport? I was thinking about get one of those fee exempt SETV in Australia then in 3 months visit some people in Singapore for a few days. As I will have to be in Singapore I would apply for another  fee exempt SETV in Singapore. I believe the expiry of the free exemption is 31st August. Is Singapore known to be easy or difficult?

 

Last year in Australia all you had to do is rock up to a consulate with your passport, the completed form and the required fee and that's it. No plane tickets, no bank statements, etc. Is Singapore the same? Do they require any special documentation?

Singapore will not issue a single entry tourist visa unless you have been out of Thailand for 90 days. It is the same for all nationalities including Singaporeans.

They did not extend the free tourist visas until August for all nationalities. You will have to pay the fee wherever you apply.

Damn it, oh well. Guess will have to pay for the usual METV then.

 

BTW, on the consulate site it says that SETV are fee exempt until August but it doesn't say it's for a specific passport holder, only Visa on Arrivals are for specific countries: http://www.thaiconsulatesydney.org/Home/visa

Those are the countries that get the free tourist visas. Only those that are from countries that qualify for a visa on arrival get them.
