I am not working for Singapore immigration but as far I know immigration will place a red flag on you when you had overstayed based on temporary stay visa. Once you exit the country they will check your visa validity. If you had overstayed, better be prepared for the worst such as interrogation.

I am not sure if you can apply for extension, better consult MOM regarding such matters. MOM contact:

I have experienced very strich immigration rules at Australia and assume Singapore is pretty much the same. I never try to overstay my visa validity period. Just be a good immigrant, there are plenty of jobs there. Just keep trying.

Mobile SIM is very easy to get, just go to any mobile phone shops/SIM card vendors and show your passport. The seller will scan your passport details to the company for registration. Top up is easy as well.                                                   

Dont worry about SIM, just check for a method of staying at Singapore for long period or reapply your visa if needed.

I think there was a similiar query regarding this visa stay stuff in the previous post. I remember reading it somewhere.

Haha yes I know you're not working for Singapore immigration but they'll be lucky to have you work for them because you're so patient in explaining things. Thanks for the link and for the infos.

Yes, it's better to be safe and not overstay but I'm asking just in case suddenly smth crop up when I am about to go back (e.g last minute got call for interview) so if this happen I know what to do and will go apply for extension even if it is just for a day.

I'm not sure which mobile line or plan (prepaid or postpaid?) to sign up with. I'll be going to sg for about a month and then returning to malaysia after that so I'm planning to keep that number for awhile when I'm in Malaysia to receive calls from sg.

hey, SG sifu. Just wondering is it better for me to change my AUD currency  to SG currency at SG or Malaysia? Currently most money exchanger rate for AUD to RM is 2.9 . I dont want to lose money due to the double currency swap.

I be changing a large sum of money.

Hi all, I'll be submitting my Pr application soon.
Just wanted to confirm if I need to translate any of my documents to English? Like Malaysian birth cert?

Appreciate any advice on this. Thanks!

Welcome. Just helping out. You should ask the rest of the fellow SG guys here, they know the bolts and nuts (more than I do) to these immigration stuff and job hunting. The following sifu can help you out alot:

I heard Singapore job are restricted for Singaporean soon. How true was that?

no documents are needed to be translated if from Malaysia. Unless your documents are in Chinese or some other language that is not Malay or English.

@alaskanbunny : I don't think I can enter government school. The school that I am thinking at the moment is SIM. I have thought of SMU but their intake is open in 2014 and it is for 2015. So I would have to wait for another year.

I'll try talk to SIM and see what they can offer.

lots of sg aunties wanna buy properties in aus now, considering it is only around 1.12 - 1.13, can be a win win for both sides

lol I didnt bring 50k.Thanks btw. My money still at Australia, get higher interest. I wont buy my house at SG, too expensive >.<. A SG 800k HDP flat can get a pretty nice house at Australia  . Buy property surely Australia better. SG is too expensive.
