Already have an IPA and flying to Singapore, can you help answer a few questions for me?

So, the situation is: I am already hired and flying to SG with an IPA a week before my start date. My girlfriend plans to come with me and look for a job and is staying for 25 days. She has a return ticket while I don't have one and our accommodation would be in an HDB (with a pinoy family whom I talked to online). I have quit work to pursue SG and she's jobless.

My questions are categorized:
Immigration (PH)
1. Is it okay if I don't have a return ticket or is it better to get one for myself too (even with an IPA?)
2. What documents or papers should we have with us? Any important ids?
3. Would it be better to tell the immigration officer that we are planning to enter SG as tourists ONLY and with hold information about my employment (given this, I have to have a return ticket for myself as well)

Immigration (SG)
1. Is it okay to put an HDB address as the address in the dis/embarkation card?
2. Is a return ticket necessary for me to enter or will an IPA suffice?

Please also give other relevant tips.

    PH Immigration
    1. Get a return ticket pero dpat mga 3-5days lng kc kung mhaba ang return ticket nyo mrami ng tanong c IO kung bat kayo mgttgal sa SG at for sure mahhold ka sa PH IO kc alam nla na mgwwork ka dito..Never show your IPA kc kung nahuli ka..hnd ka mkakaalis hnggat hnd npprocess papers mo sa POEA which takes more than 3 weeks.
    2. No documents needed...Kung may ID ka sa previous employer yun ang ipakita mo pra alam nla na may work kang babalikan dito.
    3. Act as a tourist..I repeat never show your IPA sa IO better lagay mo sa luggage. Mnsan tatanungin ka nla kung ano itinenary nyo sa SG kya be prepared at wag mxdo kabahan kc tinetest ka nla.


    SG Immigration
    1. Yes, you need to put the address or hotel address kung san kayo mgiistay sa SG.
    2. Sa exp ko sinabi ko lng sa IO na may IPA ako sa luggage so wla ako nging problema. Ewan ko lng sa situation mo ngyn n ksma mo c gf. For me, I will act as tourist prin kc kung snbi mo sa IO na may IPA ka..iisipin din nla na mghhnap ng work gf mo. Bka may posibility na c gf nmn ang pababalikin sa pinas..

    Thru personal exp ko yan so bka swertehin ka pero importante dpt may return ticket ka parin. Wait ka ng reply ng iba kc mrami n ngtanong same sa situation mo n nkapasok ng maayos dito..backread nlng po. Goodluck
  • hello adobecc, since your answer is regarding immig, may i ask if its ok to present only the company id?

    how are we going to show proof for the approved leave of absence from work? pwede ko ba sabihin na naging verbal lang yung agreement with employer since i am using my vl credits?

    for the coe, if i show mine kasi, dated feb 21 pa siya and i doubt they would say it is valid pa. i do have payslips until aug 30.

    or do i just really show my company id and act as a tourist period?

    -_-

    Based on my experience ang dinala ko lng Leave form, COE, payslip (latest), Company ID at BIR ID, plane ticket at passport. Dpende sa mppnta sayo na IO at ang hiningi lng skn is passport, ticket at ID. I travel at midnight kc close nmn yung company ko dat time at pra d nla mtwagan. Lahat ng TOR, IPA, certs, diploma etc. nsa checkin luggage ko lng. Mron din sa mga kakabayan ntn dito nlgay lng sa handcarry pero its up to you. Bsta kung ano yung hnhingi nla yun lng ang ibigay nyo pra d cla mgdoubt at mgtatanong ng mrami. Yes act as a tourist.
  • well said @adobecc . Just to add on, delete any email conversation or txt from ur employer to be, Bka ma random check ang mobile phone mo sa Pinas IO. Since meron nman kau return ticket ni gf, tourist nlng ang entry nyo. Mas madali yun i-justify instead na ikaw merong work na, and si gf nman is tourist plang.
  • @jcsia87
    you must have RT once you go out as tourist.
    magprocess ka nalang sa POEA para one way ticket...
    All the best!
    God bless your plans
  • wag mo papakita sa IO ung IPA mo or else hind ka makakaalis.
    dapat din ung GF mo same din sayo ng RT para hindi maghinala.

    tourist kalang lalabas ng bansa.
