Terminal chage at Changi

We will be arriving with UA into Terminal 3 and departing TigerAir from Terminal 2. We will have done online checkin for the Tiger flight, with mobile boarding pass on smartphone. Can we proceed directly on the airside between terminals without passing SIN immigration. Arrival into Terminal 3 at 01:00; departing Tiger at 06:30. Last month, I did the same itinerary (separate tickets) and was forced to pass immigration in Terminal3, board a landside bus to Terminal 2 and then repass immigration at Terminal2 (into Singapore for the duration of the bus ride (about 15 mins). Apparently, the inter-terminal airside bus does not operate from 01:00 to 05:00.

I'm not sure but since you have no luggage and have an onward flight, I wonder why they need you to clear customs.

You need to purchase Tiger Connect to be able to do that.

You still have to do the document verification after you got your mobile boarding pass. If there are no Tiger counter to do that for you in the transit area, you have to clear immigration and do it outside.

Thanks for your input. Upon checking tiger's website, it appears that Tiger Connect only applies to a transfer from one Tiger flight to another. The changi website which you so helpfully provided in fact answers my question about transfer from United (UA) to Tiger to be done at Terminal 3 transfer desk B. We will not have checked luggage and WILL have mobile boarding passes. Thanks for your input
