Vesak Day:Tips For Travel to Singapore

By John Roney


Whether it's Christmas, New Year, Labour Day, Vesak Day or even a simple birthday celebration we would not reject the taste that an outdoor grill can bring to us. It will be good if we all have a backyard in our home garden so that we can easily hold a party or a gathering to enjoy the features of it.

Enjoy Grilling With the Company of People, Grilling is fun because it involves many people together. There's no fun doing things alone. However, for bigger events like birthday celebrations or public holidays gathering, couples or friends can gather around the grill to cook together. People who are not good in cooking can also have a taste of creating their own food. With the combination of good quality of food and the lovely company of families and friends, grilling can also be enjoyed with different generations and ages.

A passport with at least 6 months validity. Valid Singapore visa, if applicable. Sufficient funds to last for the intended period of stay in Singapore
Confirmed onward/return tickets (where applicable). Entry facilities to their onward destinations, e.g. visas. Completed Disembarkation/Embarkation Card. Yellow Fever Vaccination Certificate, if applicable, Electricity connection. Visitors to Singapore for Vesak Day must check if their electrical appliances can handle the voltage of 220-240 volts AC, 50Hz. The power plugs used in Singapore are of the three-pin, square-shaped type. If your electrical device does not accept the voltage and the appliance plug shape is different, you will need a voltage converter and a plug adapter. However, most hotels in Singapore will provide transformers to visitors with electrical appliances of a different voltage when requested.

Sales tax refunds in Singapore The Goods and Service tax in Singapore is 5%. To qualify for sales tax refunds, you need to have a minimum purchase amount ranging between SGD$300 to SGD$500. To claim your GST refunds, pack the items in hand luggage, and present the item(s) and the receipt at the Global Refund Services after immigration and security when leaving Singapore. Also allow an extra 15 minutes before departure. The refund payment can be made by cash, credit card payment or cheque. A small handling fee will be deducted from the refund amount.

Other Ways to Enjoy, Do not forget to bring your favourite beverages. You would prefer fruit juices, fruit punch or even some sparkling sweet drinks. Mix and match some fresh vegetables and salads: coleslaw, potato salad, corn salad etc to give a fresh intake after the grill. A nice sunny and cosy weather will be perfect for these suggestions. Enjoy Vesak Day!
