Each of us knows that going abroad for business or pleasure, before You buy a ticket, You must obtain a visa.
At this stage, and there are usually many questions: What? Where? and How?
To help travelers to understand the issue of obtaining a Singapore visa, we asked for help in Singapore Business Council, whose manager helped us to answer the most popular questions.
Having a valid visa, no matter what is the country to which You arrive is not a guarantee of passing. The final decision makes the employee of a passport control when you enter the country.
No one can give You 100% guarantee will. But if the check-in, serving in Singapore, clerk is careful, You may not even be let take a plane. It is better to apply for a visa.
Yes, it does. Period of validity extends to the right of entry, i.e. You can come to the island on the last day of the visa. At the entrance You will put a stamp that permits to stay in Singapore to 30 days.
In the history of our company we have received a lot of appeals and they were all positive outcome, a single failure. We can help our customers to file for an appeal, if they do not violate the laws of serious. For example, in our practice had clients not paying taxes (they lived and worked in Singapore), and those who have violated the rule of the visa regime of the maximum 30-day stay in Singapore.
Not formally get as visa-free transit means into and out of the country by air.
Under the rules of immigration services, visa-free transit is allowed only if the airline ticket.
There are no such restrictions. However, it is understood that the Department of Migration and Control may ask the reason of very frequent visits to Singapore.
Visa refusal is very rare. From our rich practice of CIS citizens are denied somewhere in 0.1% -0.2% of cases. Ministry never indicates the cause of failure. The explanation can be given only in the Immigration office directly to the company, which prepares You a visa.
Reasons for rejection:
After receiving the final visa You will be able to verify its authenticity by the Migration Department and Control.
Yes, a return ticket is required. Even the "visa-free" visitors to the island (for example, British citizens) must have a return ticket. Thus, the Department of Migration and Control is monitoring the situation on the labor of illegal immigrants.

Accompany the child can any adult, not necessarily related with him of her.
As for transit, and for the usual entry to Singapore it is necessary to have a child’s passport (or photo and data pasted in the passport of the accompanying person), and a visa, if required.
To obtain a visa it does not matter, the child is in the parent’s passport or his/her personal passport. The fact that a visa is not issued for a passport, but for a person. For example, my mother is flying to Singapore with their two children, and the children entered in her passport. One document and the applications for visas are three. So, the mother will receive an electronic visa for herself and two visas for two children. So, she needs to pay for three visas. Be sure to specify to which of the parents the child is registered in the passport and send a scanned copy of the passport page.
Paying through PayPal, You can use almost any credit card. Card owner's name may be different from the name of a person who applied for a visa.
