Print it - and keep with your passport - you will have to show it every time you enter. With the DTV you can stay up to 180 consecutive days - it is possible to extend for another 180 days but many do not recommend it as you may be asked to resubmit all the paperwork. So you should plan on leaving the country before you reach 180 days - even one day is fine now that you have the visa ( it is good for multiple entries during the issuance period.) Another thing you should know is that if you stay 90 consecutive days you need to report your residence to the immigration authorities - the first time you do so you should do in person - after that you can do online - you can do the registration I think 2 weeks before - if you report late you get a fine - try to avoid that. Hope this is helpful

If you sign a one year lease and do not get a Visa you are still accountable for the lease - so might be best if as suggested you do short term rental air bnb or other - some places will offer month to month leases but understand you pay more - usually in newer buildings in very small apartments - but lots of services. The big thing for you to know if the lease is not tied to your Visa - some will have "diplomatic clauses" but because you will not be here via a work visa - you will not be able to access as they generally speak to being transferred by your workplace - originaly for diplomats but also applicable for private sector employment. Hope this is responsive to your question

Anonymous participant 711 maybe don't be a jerk.....

no one is going to be able to give you a definitive answer - but from what you have said you likely will be ok, but no one here knows the answer to your question no matter what they say - suggest you have printed documentation of your flights, bank balance and hotel reservations in case asked - don't offer but if asked it would be good to be able to quickly and calmly share - have a nice break and good luck in Uni next year.

maybe some, but its a crap shoot who to rely on - the kid is at risk of being separated from his family - time to get fully serious and not rely on a random group of strangers

Anonymous participant honestly this sounds a little sketchy - just do the straightforward thing -

suggest that before you return from Singapore you have made a reservation for your flight to VN - print out that confirmation - don't offer it until and if asked when you return. I entered in Jan for 2 weeks, then May for 3 weeks and then early June for 5+ weeks when I left for the purpose of filing and obtaining my DTV visa - I was not questioned at all during any entry. When I returned with the DTV visa (approved and issued) I had a print out with me and presented it when I got to the agent - no problem at all Once you have it you need to present the physical copy each time you enter - I asked the agent this question directly and that is what he confirmed. You should be fine - but do be sure you have booked your flight to VN before you come back from SIA - Air Asia is a good option and inexpensive.

he has overstayed - his window for extension has i believe closed

he should call his embassy and find out directly from them - it will not be the first time they have gotten and inquiry like this - and they will know what to do - way better than random people here. My only other input is he should consider leaving asap - overstay is taken seriously and can have ramifications beyond a fine - including refusal to allow return for a period of time. He should leave and sort it out re the new passport elsewhere - if he has already overstayed 2 weeks he needs to leave - pay a fine and beg forgiveness

I did the same last night - one thing I learned from the immigration agent is that we need to have a printed copy of our visa in hand at every entry -
