Forced to work abroad without working permitk

[mirrorphone]

I’m a consultant and my work requires me to travel to the client’s site. Since work permit process requires a lot of time to take place. And My boss loves to cut corners, so my boss asked me to fly using business visa even thought I’ll be conducting actual work there which requires a work permit. These happened several times but I think it has to stop. I’m thinking of reporting to our Ethics/HR team. However, I’m afraid given this legal issue, will I be trialed or punished by the government as well? Also, I saw a clause on our staff handbook that we(employees) should be responsible for immigration related concerns. But being forced by someone in authority, I don’t have a choice..
My employer is in Singapore.

We only deal with US law here.

Thanks. Assuming US law, do you think I will also be reprimanded?

We have no idea. Nothing in US law bans employers from reprimanding employees. However, it's never advisable to knowingly break the law of any country.
