Where to apply for a visa to Singapore
Do I need a visa to the Synagapur for the Russians? If you fly in transit and you will be in the country up to 96 hours, then NO. But remember transit must be in the 3rd country! That is, you can not fly from Thailand to Singapore and fly back to Tai. Transit example: Таиланд => Сингапур => Малайзия. Otherwise, you will not be put on the flight without a visa.
You can come to Singapore as you please (plane, cruise liner, bus), but to leave Singapore within 96 hours must Owned by plane. Otherwise, you need to do a visa.

Registration of the electronic visa at 3 intermediaries
On e-visa I checked with three intermediaries. Did in the end through Sentosa, because they have the lowest cost of a visa, and the hotel, which must be booked only through them, anyway Comes with Booking.com, where I was going to book initially.
