Unfortunately the police only will give them a report if they can provide their FIN, which is a proof that they had stayed here before. Your university here should know. I have contacted them, they said the record is no longer available after 5 years. My student's pass was issued in 1995 (23 years a...

I have a uni classmate who is applying for an Australian immigrant visa (he has been living in Australia for a while now under work visa), the immigration department requests him to provide a police report certifying he didnt have any criminal record while he was staying in Singapore since 2005, he ...

hey michelle, thanks for your reply. I have some lawyers' contacts on hand already, just in case. Thanks

Hi all, I have a few questions, long story cut short. I helped one of my customers to do a transshipment from Europe to Vietnam (via Singapore). He arranged everything in Europe, I just arranged the logistics part from Singapore to VN. My forwarding agent (here I call him David) informed me last wee...

Sad to hear this news. I havent met him but he sounded like a nice guy, I always saw his posts with long advice. Rest in peace KSL.

Thanks for all your replies. Appreciate that. I already got my visa and already got back from Europe in May lol Well, it’s not hard to get a travel visa, it’s just a waste of time (and money). I got mine in French embassy in SG, they are quite friendly and efficient, I got my passport back in 3 or 4...

Agreed with Girl_next_door, Santorini is gorgeous, we went to Athens, Meteora and Santorini. We rented a Smart car at the airport in Santorini. Rental rate is quite reasonable. It costs around EUR 45/day. Well, it’s a small island, bus is the only public transportation. Personally, having a rental c...

Ok, I’m not collecting stamps on my passport. I just want to make sure everything is right so i wont get into trouble. Anyway, I’ve got the reply from the British High Commission Singapore Thank you for your email regarding UK Immigration stamps. On departure from the UK, passports are no longer sta...

Well, they are different. The reason people use the terms interchangeably is that at many border crossings (especially at airports) one set of people handle both. This is not an English debate and English is not my first language anyway. So, more inputs on the mentioned question will be much more ap...

BillB: i did have my passport stamped at the Australian custom on arrival and departure in 2011. It's just weird that the UK stamped the arrival date on my passport but not the departure date. Actually, we couldn’t see a custom counter for the passport check at Heathrow airport. There were just some...

Hi All, As above, my passport wasn’t stamped when i left London. I took Eurostar from Paris to London and I got my Schengen visa stamped by the French border guard, the stamp showing the date I departed. Then, the UK border guard did inspect my passport and my UK visa, she scanned it and stamped on ...

I asked the ICA officer if I should submit my property documents when I applied my PR 2 years ago, she mentioned "it's not required, because you're not applying through the investor scheme." But i did submit my property tax together with the income tax statement. Personally, I think it did help a li...

I was born in Vietnam; my grandparents migrated to Vietnam from China many years ago. So, Im Chinese Vietnamese. Interestingly enough, my husband was born in US, his parents are from Taiwan, and this makes him a Chinese American. We love Singapore and we sort of settle in here. So we always wonder w...

Thanks all. I sent them an email and here's their reply, just for your info. "the Consulate-General of Greece in Singapore does not issue visas. For the issuance of short-term entry visas (Schengen visas) Greece is officially represented in Singapore by the Embassy of France."
