    Hi Swaran,

    When you say come under DP, do you mean you have an in-principle letter for DP and are yet to collect the DP?
    If so, then you have to check with ICA if the in-priniciple letter is a multiple entry visa or single entry. If it is single entry, then you have to get a multiple entry visa so as to enter SG again after the vacation.

    I am not sure whether an IP is considered multi or single entry.

    If the visitor has come in as social visit pass and you have applied for DP and are waiting to collect, then check the passport to see if the visa stamping is multi / single entry. If it is multi you can re-enter SG after vacation without issues else you will have to get a multiple entry stamping done.

    This is only my opinion dear, you might want to consider visiting ICA and making a direct enquiry for more details.

    Hi Akila

    Yes i mean we have the IP letter,and yet to collect the card
    Thanks a lot for the information...
    so incase multiple entry is not allowed for our DP(not mentioned in IPA),so it means i need to take multiple entry visa if we are leaving singapore right??
    if so,visa will be to-from which country..i mean from india or to the country where we go..
    i am really confused,it would be great if you gimme somemore information

    I too am unsure about this. You will have to check with ICA to know if the IP is multiple or single entry. If it is single, then you can ask them about the process to get an multiple entry visa for Singapore stating that the IP holder is already in SG and mention the country you will be travelling too. also it might be a good idea to check if the country you are visiting has on-arrival visa stamping and remember to mention it to ICA enquiry as they may have different process for different visa stamping processes.

    I don't know if this is of help. Hope others who have encountered this situation reply with more information. ILities, please pour in your experience.
