https://www.facebook.com/VisaSingapore
But when I enter this url in browser it always redirecting to.

How do you redirect a Facebook page?

Click Use My Domain on the domain you want to connect to your Facebook page. Click Connect to an Existing Site. Select the Facebook option under the Social Sites section. Type in your Facebook URL, which you can find in the General Account Settings on your Facebook page.

Why does Facebook redirect to mobile?

Chosen solution Many sites will check the user agent string (gives version of browser being used), if it believes that you are using a mobile version of the browser it will re-direct you to the mobile version of the site.

I got the answer. Just add ?brand_redir=DISABLE after the url, now the url will be:

https://www.facebook.com/VisaSingapore?brand_redir=DISABLE

You probably wont be able to access that page unless you are in a zone that the page is made available in. i.e. Singapore in this case. The page admin decides where certain content is served and that may be due to many reasons. If you could access it from a zone outside of the zone specified by the page admin then that does not seem correct.
