Social Visit Pass, Employment pass, PR criteria of Singapore

Hi,

Can anyone discuss the information regarding PR formalities and criteria for Singapore???

I would like this question to all the PR holders in Singapore.Can anyone suggest something for this???

The Government has just announced that they are going to make the PR process more transparent by having a web site where the eligibilty criteria would be listed and you can check your scores against the criteria . The web site should be up soon. There are also proposed changes wherein your employ ment pass is not tied to your present employer but will have a validity of five years.The details are expected soon.

Hello Ladies,

I am a new member to Indus ladies and have a few questions regarding LTSVP.

I am working in an Indian Company and my Singapore EP has been approved and would be travelling to Singapore within a month. I have a 15 month old daughter.
My husband's assignment in Singapore is not yet confirmed.

My parents look after my daughter in India and am planning to get them with me to Singapore so that my daughter does not face any problems.

I have read on the net that P pass holders can apply for LTSVP for their parents.
Here are my questions.

Do we have to apply for LTSVP from India or Singapore?
Does my employer have to authorize the application?
If it can be applied in India, like EP will they also get an approval letter and have to come and collect the pass in Singapore.
If it needs to be done in Singapore, do they have to enter Singapore with an entry visa and then apply for LTSVP there?
What are the general procedures for LTSVP?
Are there any chances of rejections?

I know its a lot of questions, but moving to a new country alone with a small kid is intimidating and want to have clarity before I travel.

Any help from you guys is greatly appreciated!!

Thanks,
Divya

Hi Divya,

We recently became PR and have my MIL in LTSVP. Before bcuming PR we had her on LTSVP as well thru my Hubby's company.

- Yes, you have to apply from Singapore and if you are a P pass holder your company should apply for your parents' LTSVP.
- You wud receive an approval letter just like your EP approval letter.
- You can bring your parents here first on SVP(SVP normally given for 15days to 1month initially and then can be extended to 3 months) and then once the approval letter comes you can go ahead show the same to MOM and get their LTSVP.
Or alternatively ur parents can have Visa to SGP and show the approval letter to ICA authority while entering Singapore, the ICA wud give for some 15days entry for ur parents and u can get the LTSVP from MOM within those 15 days jus like u got ur EP.

Thank you so much for your reply!!

I will get in touch with the visa office in my company to find out if they can apply for LTSVP for my parents right away so that they can travel with me without any hassles.

Hi friends,
I need some information abt LTSVP. Actually my MIL is here in SVP at present. She is in extension.She will be here till August. Before that we want to apply LTSVP for her. We are PR. Can anybody give me details regarding this and i want to know Howlong she can stay here in LTSVP. Wht r the documents to be submitted.

Hi,

I got the LTSVP approval letter for my parents today!!
I am travelling to Singapore (with EP) next weekend, i.e., on 14th June with my daughter and parents.

Here is the procedure that I followed for LTSVP for my parents.

For LTSVP, the EP holder's employer needs to authorize the application. So I approached the Visa office in my Company and they said that they would do it for me. I don't think you can apply by yourself for LTSVP. This limitiation is for definitely there for EP holders, I am not sure about PR holders though.

I had to submit a copy of my parents' passport (first and last two pages), give the details needed to fill the LTSVP form, and a copy of my birth certificate showing mine and my parents' name. The Visa office applied for LTSVP via EP online on Wednesday(4th June) and I got the approval letters today (6th June)

Once I am in Singapore I am supposed to submit the approval letters for my EP, my daughter's DP and my parents' LTSVP and the other necessary documents at office so that they can collect all our passes.

Hope this helps!

Cheers,
Divya

P.S: Any house hunting tips are most welcome. My workplace is in CBD. Would like the commute time to be 30-45 mins.
