Anonymous participant 188 the sg consulate is super strict. I think it costs about $500sgd, takes about 3 weeks to a month and you have to go down for an interview. At the cost of losing my money, the wait time, having to go down for an interview and honestly just not wanting to be in sg for longer than I need to, a trip to Hanoi for a week of pho and bahn mi was more applying to me.
