Hi. I'm an international student from Singapore studying in the UK. I've been here for +2years on a student visa. This may seem odd, but i would prefer very much to get the EUrail, rather than Interrail. I've been back home (singapore) in August, and only been back since sep 2013. I plan to travel this Xmas holiday.
I've got Singapore resident ID, and bank statements to show that i still have my home address in Singapore. Will that allow me to use EUrail?

Hi.
The official rules say: the place you lived in the past six months as your main residence, is your country of residence.
So it is up to you to decide, what documents you have and where you finally lived.

And I am flying into Singy next week-on Tiger.
The best way is to order it via family in SIN with their adress.
Indeed in some cases, notably as the period of use is much longer for EU rail vs. INterrail and you likely qualify for youth<26 2nd .class, it is a better buy, but it depends on where/when you like to travel.

Do they always ask to see our passport (or other document of proof) when they are checking the pass? Cause with my student visa, it says i entered the UK on Sep 2011. But the thing that i can't understand is that, in the past 6 months, i had stayed in my Singapore home for a month. So i'm still not sure which pass to get >.<

Yes. Sometimes the train staff checks passport (and other documents if required) together with your ticket.
It is always a bit complicate this rule of residence. :(
