Looking to stay in Singapore with your loved ones? The Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP), issued by Singapore’s Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA), allows eligible foreign family members of Singapore Citizens or Permanent Residents (PRs) to live in Singapore on a long-term basis. As a trusted Singapore immigration consultancy, SPIS provides expert guidance and end-to-end support to prepare a strong, hassle-free LTVP application, so you can focus on what matters most — your family.
Eligible applicants for the Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP) include the spouse, unmarried child (under 21 years old), or parent of a Singapore Citizen (SC) or Permanent Resident (PR).
A foreign spouse of a Singapore Citizen, particularly those with a longer marriage duration and children, may be eligible to apply for LTVP+.
On average, it takes 4 to 6 weeks after submission. However, some cases may take longer depending on the applicant’s background or if additional documents are required.
LTVP holders must apply for a Letter of Consent (LOC) through their employer to work in Singapore. LTVP+ holders, however, can work without needing an LOC.
LTVP+ is a special version of the LTVP for foreign spouses of Singapore Citizens, offering longer validity and more benefits, such as access to healthcare subsidies and greater work flexibility.
Yes, LTVPs can be renewed before they expire. The renewal process typically involves submitting updated supporting documents and proof of continued eligibility.
