Visit other countries

When I travel to foreign courntries, I hvae to complete a few forms - entry, customs, health and currency controls.

Some of these forms asked for repeat or unnecessary information, such as address in that country, reason for the visit, etc.

I suspect that most information is hardly used, except for statistical analysis for tourism purpose.

Surely, it is time to discontinue most of these forms?

Visitors into Singapore are required to complete some forms. Are they really necessary? Even tourism statistics can be obtained from other sources or through a sample survey.

I hope that Singapore can set an example and get rid of the unnecessary forms, that are a burden to visitors. This may start a process for other countries to simplify their entry procedures.

When I visited Europe, I recalled that I was not required to complete any form at all. That is most welcomed!
