Can I leave and return to Singapore using a short-term visit pass after cancellation of employment pass?
I have a Singaporean employment pass which will be cancelled shortly and I will then be granted a 30 day short term visit visa in replacement.
My question: Can I travel to nearby countries for one week and return to Singapore? Or will my short-term visit pass be cancelled once I leave Singapore?
Best Answer
Based on my experience, which is the same as yours; this pass loses its validity once you depart from Singapore. It is not a multiple entry visa, but rather it is just something that makes your staying inside Singapore legal.
