30 days visa free incoming from China

[junior_cannibal]

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

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.

Singapore cost of living too high to have significant decrease in price.
But do expect some decrease or at least hold steady, together with better or more services at current pricing.

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.

Don't know how true this is.
70,000 ktv close down due to bad economy in China.
I find the number quite exaggerated.





Wonder how many of the veteran ktv girls will be coming over.

Anyone knows if the price in china itself for outcall and such has decreased ?

This vid confirmed BS, Shanghai alone wouldn't have 70000 ktv.
Also, while the economy not doing well, ktv remains a common place for leisure and business entertainment.
Btw, the damage has gone up alot, from tipping the waitress to dabao, all have shot through the roof.

Even if whole of china, 70k ktvs close down also too many.
maybe whole of china 7k ktv close down.
always some channels in youtube want to blow up figure for viewership.

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.
