That there is a new agreement for visa exempt free entry of 60days. DTV is payable at $500 so it does not apply to us. Malaysia, South Korea and Tunisia is also under this new Visa Exempt agreement and they are also not eligible. Well USA and Canada is also visa exempt 60 days entry, so why is it they can get DTV but we can't. Then the Consular service says we must be approved by MFA due to this agreement?! Makes no sense right? Maybe there's something in the fine print of that agreement that they are not telling us. I was already thinking of applying it via other countries, so it's good to know that Jakarta is an option.
actually the Thai Embassy in SG told me Singaporeans are not allowed to apply for DTV! I asked how can that be and they don't have a believable answer.
