@Ray *****

there are many people like you

@John *******

I know 3 people that do this from Singapore. They want a close by escape. Now that I know 3 is significant because there are for sure others.

one thing they could do is make long term visas easier to get. I know people who are married finding it difficult with all the paperwork to get a visa based on marriage. So they they just use visa exempt.

@Nongnuch *******

agree. There are a lot of my friends who live in Singapore that come a week a month and are never questioned. That’s 12 entries a year

@John *********

thank you as usual your always accurate!

there are people from nearby countries that come here 8-10 times a year just for 5 days at at a time. There is no visa that is appropriate for that. They are genuine tourists and don’t live here. They are not abusing anything.

@Paul ********

why would that be a deal breaker

@Paul ***

in late 2022 and early 2023 I entered 9 times visa exempt and stayed about 270 days in a 12 month period. I was working and living in Singapore and the Netherlands and coming here as a tourist. I never stayed more than 30days on a single exemption. Always left for 7days. never was I asked a single question. A friend asked me that question “why not get visa” I said because I am not staying here that long. I am just a frequent tourist. I realize I am not the typical case
