South African Visa application in Singapore

Hi All

Please can anyone advise if it is still possible for a South African to apply for Type B Non immigrant and Type O non immigrant visas in Singapore. 

I have seen that as of 12 February 2018 that South Africans cannot apply for them in Kuala Lampur any more as you now need to reside in Malaysia.

 What I saw on the Singapore embassy website is the same list of countries but South Africa is not included in the list, as with the Malaysian embassy website.  I am worried that it might be an error on the Singapore website that they somehow did not include South Africa.

Also I see that you can apply online now for it in Singapore. Will we be able to apply online for the visa’s before departing Thailand and go present yourself at the embassy for the payment and the following day for the pickup of the passport?  I saw that they advise to apply for a visa 5-10 working days in advance of travelling to Thailand and that the minimum processing time is two working days. 

Any help or advise is greatly appreciated.

Answer summary

The post inquiries whether South Africans can still apply for Type B and Type O Non-Immigrant visas at the Thai embassy in Singapore, especially after changes in application procedures in Kuala Lumpur. It expresses concern over the absence of South Africa from the list of eligible countries on the Singapore embassy's website and seeks clarification on the online visa application process, particularly regarding payment and passport pickup.

seeing as you apply online with them you should just apply and see what they say. They get a hold of you and tell you if your visa is approved or not. That way you don't waste a trip there..

Here's the online program for them:

Well. Sofar, our online application has been approved, handing in our papers tomorrow. So it would appear Singapore is the way to go for South Africans.

Singapore is the only place we've found that even allowed the application. We will be going to the embassy on Monday, so will let you guys know if approved etc.
