Best Posts in Thread: Recommendations for BI mandated trip?

I call this myth busted because I looked at my passport 10 seconds ago. There is no exit stamp last time I left on a tourist visa. No stamp from Hong Kong because they don't do that any more. All there is to see is the last renewal stamp and then a re-entry stamp. Which is what I am saying this may be what the yachties do. They just go to BI and say they were out sailing to (pick a place that does not stamp visa) and they are back now and reporting in.

 

Cebu Pacific also flies to Kota Kinabalu - it's about 1hr closer then KL, a pleasant little town with some very nice little islands just offshore - white sand beaches and small beach bars. There's also a pleasant little 'boardwalk' on the seafront with bars / restaurants.

 

I'll be going to Singapore for my mandated exit with Maricel in October and spend a couple days. It was the cheapest tickets available plus I'd like her to see a bit more of a developed country then Manila which is as developed as she has ever seen.

 

Hong Kong is best. Easy train from airport to city. KL airport a long ride from the city but no Muslim problem. Singapore expensive but nice tourist destination across the Hilton Hotel on Orchard Road (4 floors of mystery)
