Regulations on items to carry when studying abroad in Singapore

I would like to introduce to you the regulations on bringing items into and out of Singapore when studying abroad. I hope it will be helpful to students studying abroad. If you want to know more about studying abroad, I will give you detailed answers.

Entry

When entering Singapore for the first time, you must present your completed immigration card and passport to the immigration inspector. Immigration formalities are completed after the passport is stamped with a stamp permitting a stay of up to 14 days and the other half of the immigration card is returned. Sometimes the immigration inspector will ask for your ticket out of Singapore and ask about the purpose of entry and duration of stay. As long as you answer truthfully, you will pass.

After the immigration inspection, we went to the duty-free shop for immigrants. Usually duty-free shops are only suitable for people leaving the country, but Singapore is a free port, and people entering the country can also buy duty-free goods. Then wait for baggage claim at the luggage carousel in the central hall.

Before leaving the customs, you may sometimes encounter random inspections by the customs. If you are found to be carrying prohibited items such as pirated CDs and excessive amounts of cigarettes, you will be fined depending on the severity of the case.

Departure

Check-in is at the departure hall of Changi International Airport on the 2nd floor. Check-in usually starts 1 to 2 hours after the flight takes off. When checking in, you can indicate the seat you wish to take. Boarding usually starts 30 minutes before the flight takes off.

Regulations on items carried into and out of the country

Currency

Customs does not have specific regulations on the amount of currency you bring to Singapore. However, customs or immigration will ask you about the purpose of the money you are bringing. To avoid unnecessary trouble, it is better for you to explain to the immigration and customs officials what these amounts are for.

Duty-payable items

When entering the customs, the items subject to tax are:

*Alcohol (including wine, beer, ale and stout

p>

* Tobacco (including cigarettes and cigars)

* Bags and wallets

* Costume jewelry

* Chocolates and candies

< p>　*Bread, biscuits and cakes

However, if the above items you bring are only for personal consumption, you do not need to pay additional fees (taxes)

If you are at the same customs. If the tax-paid items carried at the entrance exceed the specified range, the excess items will be detained at the customs and will not be returned to you until you leave. In addition, you will have to pay a storage fee.
