Dmitry MSeptember 20, 2012If you need to fly to Singapore on Tiger Airways and expect to get a transit visa on arrival, note they don't give a fuck about Singapore emigration rules and they will not allow you even to check in.Upvote10Downvote
Be prepared to bare it all. You will be lucky if they don't ask you to remove your innerwear at the security checks. Remove everything from your watch to belt to shoe.UpvoteDownvote
