Browsing the forum I found answers to most questions and mostly no surprises as the same rules apply most places in the world, however one question I cant seem to find a clear answer on.
It is clear that in Geylang get charged more as a foreigner, so two questions, how much more, and how do you convince them you are a local. I expect to pay more as a tourist but once living somewhere want to know how to access local rates

I have never been asked to pay more than a local for legal Geylang services, admittedly I have never tried CAT50, tried CAT80 once, stuck with CAT150 the rest of the time. If I was ever asked to pay more I would walk away immediately and just go next door.
For FLs (in Geylang or elsewhere) I wouldn't be surprised if you were quoted higher prices than a local, but it's up to you to negotiate and pay whatever it is worth it to you.
Feel free to PM me if you have other "expat" questions.
