Entering Singapore For A Cruise!

[angelnoah 0]

Hi everyone,

Good day! It has been decades since my last visit, but life was just busy ever since then. ☺️

Anyway, I have a question because it is confusing for me. 
 

Here’s my case:

I am a dual citizen (US) and (Phils.) I and my husband will be in the Philippines next month for a 3 months vacation. We booked an Asian cruise which starts in Singapore on May 18 2023 together with our family (party of 5). We will be departing from Manila to Singapore for a that cruise. 
 

My question is, - which passport should I present to Singapore immigration upon arrival?…as well as upon leaving Singapore? 
 

This one confused me because it’s my first time as a dual citizen entering another country coming from Manila. 
 

I and my husband go to the Philippines every year for a vacation, and I always present both passports in entering and departing Philippines. It’s just that I am not sure which passport to use upon arrival in Singapore. 

 

I would appreciate any inputs or any experiences you had regarding this case. TIA!

The one that'll give you least hustle...eg if you require a visa to enter using one and not the other, use the latter.

Thank you. Good thing is both Phils. and US don’t need visas going to singapore. I still need to figure out which one. 😂

Singapore is easy, probably either passport would work just fine.  I'd probably favor the US passport based on the theory that it might draw less scrutiny, but that's a pretty weak argument.

The US passport also gets you longer visa free stay (90 days) over the Philippines one (30 days)
