Any bros heard anything regarding this matter?

Also, heard 2 incidents recently from my gf and a samster bro that alot of Viet gals were denied entry into SG. Now we both sibei sian...

VISA
From what I know I would have assume no such VISA is needed.., yet. But she was skeptical about it after her network of friends back home was discussing quite seriously on these, though I didn't ask for the discussion details. So just trying to exposed myself to whatever leads there may be over here.
I went to ICA few days back to enquire and the bitch officer told me off rudely

Allow Entry
It will be low morale to know thier entry is based on "luck". We are putting in effort and progressing well now but this "luck" thingy is really ridiculous. Coupled with what i heard of the Customs being very strict with them now, very stress...

If use the ROM registration method to show details to Customs officer possible or not? We are gonna to ROM within these few months anyway, so donno if can use it to our advantage. Any bros?

You were meaning the ROM registration application for SG?
The plan is to ROM in SG 1st after she is able to come in end Sept 2008 then proceed to VN to ROM.
According to my "pan tung" mother, must do it here first then my luck in life will not be "suppressed".
"luck" again

Bro, no paper, no proof. What the government is looking for is the Marriage Certificate, be it vietnam or Singapore. No matter what you tell the singapore customs officer at the airport, they want PROOF. If you want to ROM in Singapore, show the officer the ROM registration date and most probaby, yr gal can only enter singapore 2 weeks before that date. If ROM in VN, no use telling the officer anything.

I ply between HCM and Singapore monthly, i see more and more vietnamese ladies telling the ICA officer that their bf is singaporean. And of course, u think the ICA officer care?

Btw, if you ROM in vietnam, make sure you bring the marriage certificate to notary public for translation to english. Only English translated Vietnamese marriage certificate can be used in Singapore.

I am thinking that in Sep there is F1 in Sillypore (aka Beijing Olympic). Govt only want to control those VN gals from coming in during this mth. Hope in Oct, ICA will let more VN gal come.

My bro just came back from vn. According to him, the immigartion officer called all the vn gals who got an airticket duration of 1 mth into the office. All kana send back.

VISA should be just a rumour...

bro Singviet, KangTuo and all bros,

many thanks for sharing this info with a noob.

My only way to be cock sure is that I pass her our ROM registration application so she can show to Customs for entry at airport. Chances may be better I suppose. I am going to VN next week to ask her hand fro marriage from her parents.
Until ICA annouce, I will take the VISA rumours as such.

[jackbl]

U got so many gf, where got need me to distribute to u? If ur gf really make effort to send u that means u are important to her.....

Now my gal asking me which one is delicious she will send me again, hihi. 1 cost about 40-46,000 dong depends on the variety.

To them every guy also their ong xa.

"Em nho ong xa nhieu nhieu." mass sms x 50 different guys.

If I'm the ICA officer I also don't believe.

All bros,

Please stop worrying about visa. Visa is not needed at all for Vietnamese nationals. My ICA officer friend has confirmed with me on this. Case closed.
