How do I transfer my valid visa issued on my old travel document to the new one?

Is entry to Singapore guaranteed if I have a visa?
The Singapore Immigration Authority is in charge of deciding and granting valid Singapore visas, and as with any visa to any other country, possessing one does not guarantee a foreign national entry into the country.
Immigration Authority officers at the Singapore checkpoints get the final say on whether you can enter or not, and each case is considered on its own merits.
What can be a possible reason for the refusal of a visa?
Refusals by the Immigration and Checkpoint Authorities are rare, and the reasons are not disclosed. However, some causes of rejection by the Immigration & Checkpoints authority include the following:
-
The applicant did something wrong during their previous stay in Singapore
-
The applicant has abused the visa regime or overstayed the permitted time during their previous stay
-
The applicant has another currently valid visa to Singapore
-
The applicant has already been refused a visa recently
-
The applicant has already applied for a visa with another agency
-
The photograph is not sharp or bright enough
Due to increased illegal activity by female tourists entering Singapore with a tourist visa, the ICA has become much stricter with the visa approval procedure.
How do processing times work?
At iVisa, we understand that your time is valuable, and we strive to provide you with the fastest service possible. Our processing times are estimated based on the average duration it takes governments to process visa applications. These estimated times begin from the moment we receive all the correct information for your application until you receive your visa.
