Singapore Jewel 24 Hour Check-In (Visa Validation?)

[Komeo]

I understand Singapore has a 24 hour check-in service for selected airlines, and that's done through automated kiosks. But just wonder also if there's a human-manned counter available for problems?

Had a previous issue with destination visa validation, which was resolved by the counter staff calling up the country's immigration desk. Does the automated kiosk perform the same visa checks or is able to handle similar exceptions?

Just don't want to arrive hours early and be stuck waiting for a counter to open up before the problem can be resolved, thanks.

The kiosks do some checks and can ask questions but I had problems knowing how to answer. For example, I have middle name on passport but not in my krisflyer Profile and therefore not on my booking. The kiosk wanted to know if I wanted to proceed and I didn’t know if this would case a problem. So I went to a terminal to check in and they didn’t even mention it.

I guess you could try but be prepared to go to a terminal. If your flight is with Singapore airlines, early checkin shouldnot be a problem.

There is, if you open the pic in post #3, there are a number of people to the right of the check-in machines available to assist.

Anyone knows Kiosk able to verify for the country destination? Or if I have visa, I must go to check in counter?

Welcome to AFF @Linh .

Generally these Kiosks are only useful for basic check ins. I often cannot use them as I have various nested and/or one-way tickets. Say going from SIN-KUL as a single one way booking on a Australian Passport, there is no Visa required, but I need to provide proof of travel booked to depart Malaysia and the kiosks are unable to process that.
