Added on October 26, 2010, 2:41 pmTheir call centre is understaffed, therefore, extremely difficult to cope with the volume.

My calls to them usually 30-60 minutes, 80% is waiting time...

Luckily i'm using skype

Hi guys, I have a question to ask. My bro just purchased iphone from apple store, using his card, all under his name. He is under student visa in sg.
Can he claim the GST?

As i recall back in the airport, the staff would just check your boarding pass and passport. Not sure whether they go to the extent of checking we are under employment/student visa.

Thanks for the help

by checkin the passport,obviously he would be checkin the visa because visa is in the passport itself...

It's different in Singapore, as I recall the visa is in a form of card and not attached to the passport.

Let's hear from others as well thanks bbsupplements

If my bro is able to reclaim the 7% GST, thats quite a sum to be honest. S$62 per unit, he bought 4.

the iphone 4 GST is SGD58.xx only, is ~SGD829 * 0.07

they will know if you have work permit / PR if you work there

but no idea about student

as the T&C for claiming GST is for traveler only

refer here info


and lastly, good luck if going to carry by flight when reaching Malaysia Airport
Malaysia custom will not impose tax on PDA type phone, but all electrical device need to be approve by SIRIM, it will be abit troublesome if one time carry 4 units come in and very unlucky that you have stop by Malaysia custom, because if carry one unit, you can open it up (unwrapping all 4 units is the most safe lol)
so far, maybe nobody here get caught when bringing back, but just for your information, if somebody unlucky...
