however just to re-cap my occurence so that you may consider your action plan.

this particular scenerio where i was back from vietnam with her on tiger airways.

my wife then gf was called into ica office.

i guessed they saw my name on her ticket booking and they have done some checks on me ... at this point they did not talk to her and just ask her to sit at one corner.

next, her picture and thumbprints was taken , and Q & A time (i only highlight the critical pts):

ica : do you know your bf is married?
gf : Yes, i know, BUT he aready divorced.

ica : how long he divorced already?
gf : 2 years

ica : LUCKY, you know your bf , and your bf is DIVORCED , IF NOT, I SEND YOU BACK TO VIETNAM now

happy already they bring my gf out to the counter outside which i saw as i was standing at the gass door , the 'Act like one BIG F**K officer' interrogate her and one of the officer says ' there, her bf is there, outside waiting for her ...' finally chop her passport and open the glass door and let her comes out.

after this incident, her entrance was not a problem ...

i guessed its better to sort out your divorce before putting your name as reference and declaring you as her bf ! unless like bro said standby your seperation deed ... my personal feel is it ain"t going to work unless ur gf really can talk because you won't be inside the office with her.

she can still come but CANNOT indicate you as reference n your address as stay. like you said , use your mum as reference and you must prepare your mum for questioning and present at the airport to pick her up.

you can search for my 2 case study on similar case ... conclusion both gals are banned for entering sg for 1 year ... 2 where bfs are legally married, 1 where the guy has done up the divorce deed but no wife signature coz his thai wife ran away n cannot be found.

rgds....

If I postpone her visit for 6 months.... would it help? Or still the same, would be questions at the counter and then go to the office?

My gf, she cannot speak good english or chinese, just starting to learn ..... She would have no confident in answering any questions. Can you give me more examples of what the officer would asked? Maybe I can prepare her.....

Or is there anyway to write to ICA, procedure or application, explain to them first, prior to her entry.

thanks, and many thanks...... need many helps & advices.....

The question again, Can I write in to ICA, or any procedure / application, prior to her next visit to Singapore. Or I postpone her next visit to 60 days, would that be ok?

Many thanks & many thanks to SingViet & Shysaint :)

ask yourself...in what capacity you write to ICA for this gf....you are legally married and not divorced yet...so you cannot be sponsor...in the eyes of the law, this gf is a 3rd party....:p

Take your time to understand this gf....only time can tell how the r/s will develop...give yourself at least 2 yrs with her...:p

as for ICA entry to Singapore, they are at the discretion of ICA officer...your gf cannot be here for more than 180 days in 1 year otherwise she is consider a residents...:p

Hi Brothers,

Can I know is there any data plan for the phone in Vietnam... ? I ask my girl to check, she said she don't know.

If there is, what is the cost and where to apply, for both phone & computer?

Many thanks,

I did that for my ex-gf and despite filing for notice of marriage, I got rejected numerous times over 6 months.

The funny thing was that an ROM officer called when it was near my date of ROM and I told him that her entry was refused. guess what he told me, they always do that. he said don't bother, just fly there will the notice of marriage and enter sillypore with her. I ask him you sure? his reply was I am not the first.

On one of my trips to malaysia, I spoke to a 2 crab ICA officer who was quite nice about this situation, his remarks was that HQ is always doing that. I told him what ROM said and he said go ahead and do it that way, as long as the checkpoint allow her entry, no need HQ endorsement as we have valid reason.

I always ask a friend whom used to hold very high position in ICA, he said as long as we want to marry foreignor, they will go all out to stop the union.

Well, a friend of mine tried that after her gf was refused entry, guess what she was allowed entry......
