oh men!!! They are ruining our lives. Additional 2 months for the waiting time. :'(
I don't know if we can do something about this. It's really unfair in Asia, some just wait for 12 months to get completely processed, others have to wait for 27 months to get it done which is a huge gap.

At least we can ask them the root reasons and their solutions to reduce the processing time or to level down to the processing times of other VO like Manila or India.

Every 3 months, they increase the processing time and for us, we are just waiting like forever.

In the middle of settling down and prepare to leave is not easy for anyone I guess.

You guys have any ideas or anything that we can do! Please share n we will action together!!!

Hi Guys & Gals,

Since they release the new updated processing time, this make my application exceeds the normal timeline. Its 3months past the normal processing according to published timeline by SGVO. I have ask my agent to make a follow up with SGVO.

Just want to ask regarding case specific enquiry for SGVO. Can anybody advice how long does SGVO respond to email inquiry? I used a agency and since I'm not copied in their email correspondence I would like to know the timeline for SGVO to get back to my agent.

Appreciate if somebody can shed light into this.

thanks much.

Will the processing be faster if it is an online application?

Dude, most of us is following the online application! it's just the matter of Singapore that they have too many applications at a time and they are short handed. The processing time therefore keeps raising every freakin 3 months that makes everyone is very fed up as we would never know when it stops raising.

When I got started, it indicated 18 months and after a year of waiting, it shows 27 months and when I will be passing 27 months, Singapore VO could increase to 36 months u know!

Maybe we all should write a letter to let them know that they should not mess up with the processing time no more!!!

It's very misleading as well, as you might have planned according to 10/12 month. In my case I did not ask any transfer as my contract was in Malaysia was for 18 months and processing time was also 18 months. Now i am not sure what should I do.

Hello Everyone,

I just have collected my passports! It was quick! I sent it on 24th October through local VFS and it came back today. So it took only 18 days!! To be honest I don't have any emotions. Just bit angry at SVO for taking that long to process the application. I think that killed all my emotions. I am very worried about the future and what would be the life in Canada! Anyway The validity of visa 'till end of June. if everything is alright I will move to Canada in June.
