Frequently Asked Questions About Applying for Long-Term Visit Pass? [2022]
Can those on long-term visit pass work?
LTVP holders are not allowed to work unless they possess a valid work visa or when they have a Letter of Consent (LOC).
The LTVP holders would need to get a job in Singapore before requesting their employer to apply for the LOC, whereas LTVP+ holders have employment benefits right away.
Why was my long-term visit pass rejected?
There are various reasons why your long-term visit pass got rejected. It might be due to the following:
- Lack of substantial reasons to extend your stay in Singapore.
- Your unsuitability to contribute to the Singapore workforce.
- Your sponsor or your inability to prove that you can financially support yourself (and the family).
Can I be overseas while waiting for my LTVP results?
You can, but we do not encourage you to stay away from Singapore long.
LTVP results are usually fast, and upon LTVP approval, there are things you need to consider, like taking the actions stated in the IPA letter before it expires. You may also risk needing a visa again to head back to Singapore.
Therefore, it is just less troublesome if you remain here.
Who is eligible to apply for LTVP Singapore?
Singapore citizens, Singapore permanent residents and foreigners with a work pass, can apply for long-term visit pass. However, there are criteria to fulfil before they are eligible to apply for LTVP Singapore.
