because if U suay suay lost your passport(U need to keep the original and the photocopy separately)...at least U have a photocopy which U can bring to the singapore embassy in UK and request for assistance...it's faster than having the embassy trying to verify your status first...Originally posted by tiger beer:why shall i photocopy my passport? -
• Do I need a VisaOriginally posted by tiger beer:i like to check with u bcoz i first time travel alone about travel thing all i don't know! i going Uniter Kingdom! do i need a visa? why shall i photocopy my passport? can i bring cuttle fish? my cousin's friend want it. do u know the weather in this few days? when i transit time do i need to take my own luggage up to the flight? then i at London transit can i go to the duty free shop buy cigarettes? cigarettes is my cousin want it, she want 2 long pack.

Holders of Singaporean passports need only a valid passport for at least six months beyond the intended date of departure from Britain and return air ticket to enter Britain. There is no requirement to apply for a visa. You may enter Britain for 6 months without a visa.
[color=orange]• why shall i photocopy my passport? [/color]
Xcert has answered for you .
• can i bring cuttle fish? Some agricult. Based cty are very strict with any thing tt may harm their agric & diary industry
Not so sure , can check with your cousin she shld know , but can try below infor/web site :
http://www.visitbritain.com/sg/fact_files/planning/immigration/customs/restrictions.htm
Many items are subject to import and/or export control. The following are some of the items more frequently met: controlled drugs*, weapons, indecent material and goods that pose a threat to health or the environment. The latter category includes certain plants, meat, meat products and products of animal origin e.g. hides, skin, poultry, eggs, milk and dairy products (however, 1kg per person of fully cooked meat/meat products, in cans or hermetically sealed containers, is allowed).
From countries outside the European Union you may bring in a maximum of 2kg of fruit and vegetables (other than potatoes), a single bouquet of cut flowers and a maximum of five retail packets of seeds. You can usually import plants if you obtain a Phytosanitary (plant health) Certificate. This can be obtained from the plant health authorities in your own country.
Details regarding licences or import/export restrictions may be obtained from:
HM Customs and Excise,
Thomas Paine House,
Torrens Street, Angel Square,

*If you are in any doubt as to the status of drugs you need to bring with you, you are advised to declare them in the Red Channel upon arrival.
The United Kingdom has severe penalties for drug smuggling. Drug traffickers may try to trick travellers. If you are travelling to the United Kingdom, avoid any involvement with drugs. Never carry luggage or parcels through customs for someone else.
• do u know the weather in this few days?
http://www.stvincent.ac.uk/Resources/Weather/Reports/
Check above website & @ bottom of the page select the city or locations , you will be given the real time weather .
General infor as follows & website :
http://www.visitbritain.com/sg/fact_files/planning/weather.htm
Winter (December - early March)
Winter sees Britain's shortest and coldest days (about 7-8 hours of daylight) but these can be crisp and bright. Temperatures fluctuate from around 1 to 5 degree Centigrade.
Spring (March - May)
In Spring, you might enjoy wonderful sunny weather but then, it might equally be cold and wet. Temperatures fluctuate from around 6 to 11 degree Centigrade. May can have very warm days - up to about 18 degree Centigrade.
• when i transit time do i need to take my own luggage up to the flight?
If you bought your Qantas ticket with transit stated on it then you donÂ’t have to do it they will transfer it for you ( keep your baggage receipts or tags with you carefully ) . To be sure - just gives Qantas a call ( they are friendly to Singaporeans )
• then i at London transit can i go to the duty free shop buy cigarettes? cigarettes is my cousin want it, she want 2 long pack
I wonders why nowadays smoke so much esp. a drastic increase in young females smokers – just a turn off . (no offence to those lady smokers )
Anyhow See below :
What are my duty and tax free allowances?
