We are in the middle of recession and C19 has became more deadly. Yesterday news. Is only me. Spore the most expensive city of the world. This year onwards tourist r spending less, and short term stayed.

On MRT. We saw foreigners in it. Cheaper. Not for foods because they cannot travel to hawker ctrs. The only 2 hawker ctrs where tourists can eat are China town and Little India. HV and Newton are expensives.

FYI. Our local attraction are into SG green. We worried of climate changes. Foreigners come in to see these men made SG green stuffs. Their countries? Cannot find.

A good thing is local commercial sex. I have no %. A feeling. Increase in FLs coming in to earn Sing$.

In the tradition of commercial sex. Customers and FL/ WL. In years we have talked about it. And this new age. I will stop because of respects for all. Every1 knew no need to keep on repeating. What?

Customers spoilt the markets. Eg. At GL streets. 10 FLs only 2 customers look see. And the 2 customers pay above market rates. 100 reasons. 1 is. Scare no more PRC FLs walk the street of GL. 2. Afraid no more PRC come to do $ launching.

I guess the number 1 market spoiler are Malaysian uncles (migrated into Singapore), and driving Comfort taxi. They are in serious trouble after LTA increase their surcharge.

Think deeper. We gave visa free 30 days after Thailand and Malaysia. It's a reactionary move. Their tour groups like to go 新-马-泰。Singapore Malaysia Thailand. This is a group we try to attract.

It's not likely to result in a flood of PRCs. Only 10% of PRCs have passports. They have to justify why they should qualify. Especially so for CCP members. The other limit is the number of flights between China and Singapore. Singapore can adjust this according to future scenarios. The present scenario is number of daily flights is still below pre-covid days

The bold bit you mentioned is probably the only saving grace about SG "throwing open the doors" to PRC Tiongs. Nowadays even if they want to leave mainland China to travel, many also find it difficult either because no money or no passport. The 2+ years of Covid restrictions really fucked them over 9696, imagine last time when Sinkies finally could travel again without needing quarantining upon return or any other travel restriction nonsense how ICA basically crashed due to overwhelming demand for passport renewals. China case is x1000 now.

It is a different china now, they will want their citizens to leave and not remain in china. Passports loosening will be inevitable. Economy is screwed, unemployment rate up and up.

For me, I don't mind if more prcs comes in and the scene has a lot more of them.
Thailand is fked with tourists, esp with the latest news that a taiwanese tourist died after a hospital refused emergency treatment.

I think what you pointed out on malaysia and thailand waiving visa had a knock on effect on sgp's waiver. If we continue to hold, will look as if we do not care, and the trickle down effect can be detrimental further down the line.

But I do think there will be a obvious increase in the months after the waiver is implemented.
If even a conservative 0.00005% of their population gets a passport to come here for "activities", that is still 70k.

Sorry, silly question here : So in theory, this means that they can come into Singapore for 30 days, go back China on the 31st day and come back Singapore on the 32nd day and then stay for another 30 days?

In theory, this means that they can rinse and repeat this cycle unlimited numbers of times huh?

No.
if 1st trip ever to Singapore, entry should be 100%
If 2nd trip, entry into Singapore will be dependant on how long ago was last exit, and how long did they person stay during the previous trip, and the gender.
If it is yearly trip, entry approval will remain relatively high

If its a girl, and try to enter again in half a year, not easy to predict. Maybe asked to prove her financials. How it is proven, no idea.

Also can apply for extension of stay during last 7-10 days in SGP.
Approval is again dependant on gender and age.

Individual females between 18-45 normally have lower approval rate, unless can provide familial ties to citizens or other people residing in Singapore.

Swee! That was exactly the answer I was hoping to hear!

So the question now is, will the PRC ktv girls in Singapore still bother to buy student pass or work pass so that they can work in the ktvs here?

Or will they choose not to do so since the 30-day visa free policy is going to be implemented soon?

Northern

Visa free won't make a difference for them.
They only apply for student pass, work pass when their visas are rejected or entry barred.
Which one they end up going for will depend on their friends' recommendations, since they would have made friends here on those passes and its availability.

Age, number of trips, duration of stay, school will affect whether the pass can be approved.

Because of the exposure of Han FeiZi, there are some other work pass we do not speak of, but which is out of my knowledge area anyway :D

I think we will go back to 15 years ago where the PRC ladies come here to max out their 30 day social visit visa. Then do a quick trip to Malaysia (now also visa free for them) before returning to Singapore for another 30 days. More options on FL Dome 2 and on wechat people nearby.

Despite the likely increase in supply, thr price for FL will not likely to drop, but due to the higher supply, there should be more choices.
With the 30 days visa free, it's likely to be similar to the Vietbu. The only difference is the airfare the ATB need to spend are generally higher. The agents and middlemen who used to make alot from helping the ATB to get visa are losing the stream of income that's all

testoste

I expect there will be substantial increase of short term FLs in coming months (I dont think China economy is doing that well, more ppl will try to come over). As customers have more choices to choose, may spend more time exploring the FLs market, n as a result, lesser business for the MLs working in spa. In the next 3-4 months later, the MLs may be compelled to lower their expectations and allow roaming w/o any top-ups (for those who are expecting top-up). Maybe possible to nego for lower basic tip like $40 in time to come.

To a certain extent, we got ourselves to blame for the escalated damages.
When a PRC asks for a fee, she usually expects you to negotiate. This is common in China. It's usually we, the gan jiong spider and horny Singaporeans who jump right at it without negotiating.
I am blessed to have experienced the good old days of much cheaper damages and same if not greater joy, occasional got freebies and more GFE.

No absolute statistic in numbers but it is a huge increase.
A crowded sgp is going to get lots more incoming.



Trip.com (which owns the popular Chinese booking site Ctrip) saw Chinese bookings to Singapore surge to more than 13 times for the Chinese New Year period over the comparable period in 2023, a company spokesperson told me. On the day following the announcement, the surge was 120 per cent over the same day the week before.

Fliggy, another leading online travel agency in China, saw travel product bookings for Chinese New Year grow 21-fold (as at Feb 6), compared to the festive period in 2023. Leisure activity bookings increased by more than 30 times, a spokesperson revealed, and hotel bookings exceeded pre-pandemic levels.

Sharing something funny my prc friend told me as she was returning to sgp.

As she was at the airport returning to sgp, she was questioned 2 separate times by 2 different authorities, once to a corner, asking why she was coming to sgp.
After my friend satisfactorily answered their questions, she asked why now need to ask ?

Authorities reply, and I more or less translate : A lot of people get scammed to Singapore to work instead and other issues ?

I just had to laugh when my friend told me.

Ok....so Singapore = Myanmar now ?

Why do you believe this PRC lady so completely? She may have issues from her past visit. ICA officers don't earn extra for asking her extra questions right?

More PRCs will get questioned as they come in greater numbers due to visa-free arrangement. I believe ICA will screen them before they arrive through the use of the SG arrival card. Once submitted, ICA probably knows who to flag out upon arrival.

Not questioned by ica, but at china airports.
She is a SP holder and has been working in sg for 20+ years.

It’s quite funny that some of the girls actually think they will get kidnapped and send to surrounding countries

There's now a different tactic used to scam people to the other countries.
First, you get a job offered in a safe country, eg Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore.
After you arrive, there will be a team building exercise/event or company sponsored event to other countries.

Once you leave the first country and enter into the other country, you're done for.
Literally kidnap when you arrive at third country and bring you across to the target country to force into scamming.

The key thing is to first have an official employment permit that can be verified.
And do not pay for your own air ticket anywhere.

Actually many PRCs do get scammed into coming to Singapore. The China 中介 agent charges a processing fee of $30k - $50k rmb. Many said they borrowed money from friends and relatives to come work here.

Once in SG, they realised the job scope differs from what was agreed. The regular OT pay also doesn't materialise. This is especially common for PRCs working in electronics factory around Woodlands. Their working schedule is like work 3 days rest 4 days and then work 4 days rest 3 days. Cheaper to employ more headcount than to give OT to existing staff. Income is lower than expected but expenses (food/rental) are higher than expected.

On the massage scene, some didn't know the shops they join need to provide BBBJ or FJ services. The lady boss slowly brainwash by trying to restrict her business in the initial stage. Every other girl do bbbj/fj but the newbie only does HJ max... slowly will make her feel out of place until she relents... tell her she is here to max out income, whatever happens here China friends don't know etc... recently heard a ML say her boss told her BBBJ is safe and won't contract disease.

That’s new to know, thanks for sharing.
