Whether you’re seeking to extend your stay in Singapore for family, work, or personal reasons, the Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP) and LTVP+ provide the opportunity for a longer residence in the country. Designed for spouses, children, and dependents of Singapore Citizens or Permanent Residents, these passes can be critical for securing your future here.
Having this access will allow you to build a life together with your loved ones in Singapore. Whether it’s raising children, growing old together, or simply enjoying life as a family, these passes ensure your loved ones are by your side every step of the way.
The LTVP and LTVP+ allow you to be with your loved ones in Singapore, providing peace of mind and stability. Being able to stay together as a family is priceless and allows you to build a life together, free from the worry of separation.
For families with children, the LTVP or LTVP+ allows your children to pursue education in Singapore’s world-class schools. They will have access to quality education that prepares them for a bright and successful future.
As a family, you can rest assured knowing that your loved ones will have access to Singapore’s top-tier healthcare system. Whether it’s regular check-ups, emergency care, or specialized treatment, Singapore’s medical services will ensure your family stays healthy and protected.
They differ mainly in work rights and healthcare benefits. The LTVP doesn’t grant automatic work rights. The applicant needs a separate Letter of Consent (LOC) to work. In contrast, the LTVP+ allows work without the LOC and provides access to healthcare subsidies, making it an attractive option for families.
Applicants must be spouses, children, or dependents of Singapore Citizens or PRs. The LTVP applies to those married to a Singaporean or PR, or parents of a Singaporean child. The LTVP+ requires higher integration into Singapore's workforce and society and has stricter financial criteria. Both require documentation proving family relationships and meeting eligibility criteria.
LTVP and LTVP+ applications generally take between 4 to 6 weeks for processing. The timeframe may vary depending on your specific case and the complexity of the application.
Yes, it’s possible to switch from an LTVP to a work pass, such as an Employment Pass, provided you meet the eligibility requirements. You would need a valid job offer from an employer and must meet the Ministry of Manpower’s (MOM) criteria for a work pass.
