Singapore introduced electronic arrival cards last year, if you overlook, forget or can’t be bothered, there are computer terminals in arrivals and some very helpful staff to assist with completing. 5 mins spent before travel saves 10 mins on arrival.

get the O-A retirement visa before you leave, needs proof of funds, medical cert, police clearance certificate and health insurance (Axa offer a good product here reasonably priced, designed for visa purposes - has a high excess/deductible so not ridiculously expensive)
