Singapore Long-Term Visit (LTVP) Application

Applying for a Singapore Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP) involves several steps. Below are the typical steps in the LTVP application process:

1. Determine Eligibility:

   • First, confirm that you meet the eligibility criteria for the specific category of LTVP you are applying for. This typically involves establishing a qualifying relationship with a Singaporean citizen or permanent resident.
     
     

2. Gather Required Documents:

   • Collect all necessary supporting documents, which may include:
     • Passport and recent passport-sized photographs.
     • Marriage certificate or proof of common-law relationship (if applicable).
     • Birth certificates of children (if applying for dependent children).
     • Financial documents, such as income statements and bank statements, to meet income requirements (if applicable).
     • Medical reports or health check certificates (if required).
       
       

3. Complete the Application Form:

   • Obtain and complete the LTVP application form. You can typically find this form on the official website of the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) in Singapore.
     
     

4. Submit the Application:

   • Submit your application form and all required documents to the relevant authority. The submission process may vary depending on your specific situation. You can often apply online through the ICA e-Service portal or submit a physical application at the ICA or the Ministry of Manpower (MOM), depending on your category.
     
     

5. Pay the Application Fee:

   • Pay the applicable application fee. The fee can vary depending on the LTVP category and the processing time you choose.
     
     

6. Wait for Processing:

   • The processing time for LTVP applications can vary. It’s essential to be patient while your application is being reviewed. You can check the status of your application online.
     
     

7. Undergo Health Screening (if required):

   • In some cases, you or your family members may need to undergo medical examinations or health screenings as part of the application process. Follow the instructions provided by the authorities.
     
     

8. Receive In-Principle Approval (IPA):

   • If your application is approved, you will receive an In-Principle Approval (IPA) letter. This letter outlines the conditions of your LTVP, including the validity period and any additional requirements.
     
     

9. Collect the LTVP:

   • If you are overseas, you will need to collect your LTVP at a Singaporean mission or embassy. If you are in Singapore, you can complete the process at the ICA.
     
     

10. Additional Formalities (if required):

    • Depending on your situation, there may be additional formalities to complete, such as registering your marriage with the Registry of Marriages (ROM) in Singapore.
      
      

11. Comply with LTVP Conditions:

    • Once you have your LTVP, make sure to adhere to the conditions and responsibilities outlined in the IPA letter. This includes maintaining valid healthcare insurance and fulfilling any financial support obligations.
      
      

12. Renewal (if necessary):

    • Be aware of the LTVP’s expiration date and renew it before it expires if you intend to continue staying in Singapore.
      
      

Please note that LTVP application requirements and procedures may change, so it’s crucial to consult the official websites of the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) and the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) in Singapore for the most up-to-date information and guidance related to LTVP applications.
