Freelancing in Singapore for less than 30 days, is a work visa needed?

score:7

Accepted answer

Legally speaking, yes, you probably need a visa, since you are working in Singapore and getting paid for it.

In practice, since you're eligible for a 30-day visitor pass on arrival and this is a one-off, you'll be fine. In the unlikely event of being asked, you're visiting for "business meetings" and doing "sales demos" for a customer.
