May I transit in Singapore if I am blacklisted from entry?
One year ago, I was refused entry into Singapore and they told me that if I want to enter in the future I will need to apply with a letter to Immigration. I would like to travel to Indonesia and I am going to buy my tickets. The cheapest tickets are all transiting in Singapore.
Could they refuse me transit through Singapore (on the way to Indonesia) and deport me to where I came from? Do they check passports on connecting flights?
Best Answer
With Singapore, unlike the US, passengers who transit don't go through customs and immigration, thereby you will be OK to transit, provided you do not leave the airport i.e. go through customs and immigration. The only time they check your passport during transit, is for ID verification alongside your boarding pass.
The safest option is to call your nearest Singapore Embassy/Consulate, and explain your situation as yourself, or alternatively you could contact your airliner.
Furthermore it might be good to have a record on when and who you spoke with at which Singaporean Embassy, should you have any problems while transiting.
