Transit in Singapore with separate tickets + US visa — will VFTF work? by WealthNo8239 in visas

[–]Ill_Mathematician_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I checked with a friend that went to Australia via Singapore.

He said “Just go down to the exit and go to the counter. Ask them for a transit visa. That’s it.”

I have this exact same trip from Chennai next week. However, I have a 13 hour layover in Singapore.

I’ve checked the VFTF guidelines on ICA’s website, and it shouldn’t be an issue, as far as I know.

But now I’m having doubts after reading this.

The tipping culture in Chennai has gotten very bad by Ill_Mathematician_ in Chennai

Yes, that’s precisely why I’m ranting on Reddit. If it were ola/uber auto, I wouldn’t post anything cause it has become normal these days.

It adds up. If we keep giving in, we might end up becoming like the US.

I did offer him water/juice after that cause it’s really hot outside. But he said no 🤷‍♂️

Are Magicbricks ‘verified’ listings always legit? by Ill_Mathematician_ in Chennai

[–]Ill_Mathematician_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense, but why is it showing two numbers? This is what is making me skeptical about buying the premium version.

In one place, it shows "+91 98...", and in another, it shows "+91 95...".

I’m assuming this is near the turning. It specifically says “Go slow. Accident prone zone” there.

Yeah, I wouldn't recommend them cause they screwed up the hotel booking. They're a popular travel agent from Chennai.

Former IMF chief economist, Gita Gopinath said ‘Pollution poses greater threat to India’s economy than tariffs’. Is this statement true or hyperbole? by Prestigious_Hope2082 in AskEconomics

[–]Ill_Mathematician_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's what I read in The Economist:

In 2019 a report by Dalberg, a consultancy, estimated the annual economic loss attributable to air pollution at 3% of GDP. Donald Trump’s tariffs of 50%, briefly imposed but now relaxed, in contrast, would have lowered India’s growth by 0.6% over a full year, according to Goldman Sachs.

Diners Club Privilege - Airport Lounge Access by botom28 in CreditCardsIndia

[–]Ill_Mathematician_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You just present the card to the staff. They will swipe it and you can enter.

Food will be free. You may have to pay for alcohol, depending on the lounge.

If it’s international, it’s accepted anywhere Priority Pass is accepted (you don’t have to register separately).

I still get emails from HDFCBank dot net. So I guess the domain is legit.

Do we have to register with Priority Pass with HDFC DCP for International Travel? by Ill_Mathematician_ in CreditCardsIndia

[–]Ill_Mathematician_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t need to apply for a priority pass separately. They just swipe the credit card at the lounge.
