Changi's Free Singapore Tour - Can you leave early?

Changi's Free Singapore Tour - Can you leave early? - Cheerful female manager checking time on wristwatch standing with bags near bus station

Changi offers a free Singapore tour and I'm interested in partaking.

However, I might also visit a friend for dinner before going back to the airport. Is it possible to defer from the itinerary of Changi's free tour?

I arrive at Singapore on 1:45pm, and my next flight is 6am the next day.



Best Answer

The free tour includes immigration checks, ie the group exits through Immigration as a group and returns to the airport through Immigration as a group.

Perhaps you can enter Singapore under your own citizenship rules as an individual, then hook up with the tour group as they exit. And later leave the tour group with the guide's permission. But this is something you likely need to ask at Changi (or via email).

But entering Singapore as a visitor, may end your transit status thus causing you to be charged the departure tax.
