Appeal Letter to enter Singapore

Shelly Y.

I was denied to enter Singapore last February 2020, the reason is “ I am ineligible for the issue of a pass under current immigration policies. Now I have a student pass (IPA) and trying to enter SG..and still they didn’t allow me to go inside. They said i need to appeal a letter to enter Singapore. I already send an email to ICA attaching my student IPA. How many days they will reply? Is there a chance that they will reject the appeal? Eventhough I provide all the documents? All this approval im lacking. Need good response please. Thank you.

Why didn’t they allow you to enter in the past? Did you violate any immigration rules?

I was working there last 2019. And i resigned. I go exit outside from Sg to Thailand 2 times last 2020. When I came back to sg, they didn’t allow me and that’s the reason. Now February 2022, i tried to enter to sg and present all the documents including my IPA, still they didn’t allow me to enter. They said that i need to appeal a letter to the immigration. 😔

Did you attempt to do visa-runs (to Thailand) in order to extend your stay in Singapore - instead of going to ICA and applying for an extension there?
If so: That is a No-No in Singapore. You should, in your appeal to ICA, explain that it was your mistake, apologize and declare that you won't do it again. Then plead for mercy in their approval of your entry now.
Just sending "all documents", without clearing up the cause of your ban, will not work.

How would I know my violation if they cannot tell me? In papers they just put reason “being ineligible for the issue of a pass under current immigration policies “...? I just thought.

If they did not tell you in 2020, when you were denied entry, then you can ask ICA.
But I think it is pretty obvious, no need to ask or speculate!
