Travellers with Single Journey Visas (SJV) may still be granted VFTF on the return leg of their journey (i.e. after the SJV is used and no longer valid), but you must:- Travel directly from the country that issued the SJV, en route through Singapore, back to your home country
- Not have returned to your home country since you last used the SJV.
The 1st point is easy ..... VFTF issued for return journey .... so if the person flies from say Australia after he use his SJV, he could get his VFTF when transiting Singapore on the way back to China. However if he flies to ... say UAE, then no VFTF.
The 2nd point ...... The same person used his SJV in Australia, he then fly to China direct, then fly back Singapore for transit and then fly back to China.
Main issue ... no sane person would do that and also
It breach point no. 1 about fly directly from the country that issue SJV en route through Sinagpore back to your home country.
It's very weird indeed
