SINGAPORE: Singapore will gradually allow visitors to enter the country using an electronic visit pass (e-Pass) instead of having their passports stamped at all checkpoints.

The announcement was made as part of the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) annual statistics report 2021 released on Tuesday (Feb 15).

The e-Pass was introduced in phases at Changi Airport since Oct 10 last year and will be rolled out at other checkpoints, ICA said. The pass is issued via an email notification to the address declared in visitors’ electronic arrival card.

It will also be complemented by an online enquiry portal that allows the retrieval of e-Pass records, it added.

“The introduction of the e-Pass not only provides for safer immigration clearance with reduced contact between officers and travellers, but is also a crucial building block for ICA to make automated clearance a norm from 2023,” the authority said.

TRANSFORMATION EFFORTS

This is part of ICA’s efforts to transform immigration and cargo clearance.

Its new clearance concept aims to give Singaporeans, permanent residents and long-term pass holders the ability to clear immigration without needing to present their passport, and for foreign visitors to do so at automated lanes without prior enrolment.

All immigration lanes at passenger halls – both automated and manual – have also been equipped with iris and facial scanners since July 2020.

“The use of iris patterns and facial features as primary identifiers for immigration clearance not only provides more robust and reliable identity authentication of travellers, but more hygienic, convenient, and efficient immigration clearance,” it said.

93 attempts to smuggle more than 10,000 COVID-19 test kits foiled in 2021: ICA

In addition to this, ICA also aims to “leverage automation and digital technologies to move cargo securely and efficiently, which bolsters Singapore’s position as a global port”.

Since Oct 1, it has implemented the “on-the-fly” clearance concept at Tuas Port, in which cargo clearance is conducted while the vehicle is still on the move.

“Cargo clearance permits (CCPs) will be cleared automatically after ICA’s image analysts assess that there are no anomalies in the scanned images of the cargo consignment,” the authority said.

ICA officers at cargo checkpoints have also started using mobile tablets to clear permits on the spot at checking bays in October last year, to minimise the time to clear those flagged for secondary checks.

“We have ceased the manual endorsement of CCPs since February 2022, thereby reducing the turnaround time for vehicles and cargos passing through the checkpoints,” ICA said.

ICA added that it aims to fully digitalise the cargo clearance process where drivers will no longer be required to present hardcopy permits and supporting documents for both containerised and conventional cargo.

IMPROVING SERVICES

ICA is also stepping up its service capabilities with a new initiative.

The authority said it is committed to providing a “No Fuss, No Visit, No Waiting” experience – using digital, robotic, biometric and automation technologies that will allow customers to make transactions at their convenience.

Since the end of last year, ICA has implemented 23 e-Services covering 99 per cent of public transactions, reducing the need for members of the public to make physical trips to the ICA building.

Singapore passports to be valid for 10 years for applications from October

More than just scanning passports: On duty at Changi Airport with an ICA officer

“We will continue to redesign our processes and deliver more seamless and efficient digital experiences to our customers,” it said.

The authority will also “digitise ICA-issued documents so that customers will be able to access and retrieve them remotely via a secure platform”.

“By end-2022, ICA will launch digital versions of birth and death certificates, student’s pass and long-term visit pass,” it said.

To reduce footfall at its premises, it also implemented measures such as increasing the validity of Singapore passports from five to 10 years and offering free collection of passports and identity cards (ICs) at post offices.

SUPPORTING THE REOPENING OF BORDERS

As Singapore reopens its borders, ICA has rolled out initiatives to “provide a safer, more secure and more seamless immigration process for travellers”.

This includes providing a single government touchpoint for travellers with the SafeTravel website and contact centre and expanding the SafeTravel application portal to facilitate entry applications.

Last year, the portal processed more than 500,000 entry applications, ICA said.

Additionally, the authority also implemented the digital authentication of vaccination certificates for travellers and redesigned manual immigration counters to allow travellers to scan their own passports, making “immigration clearance safer for travellers and ICA officers alike”.

“As Singapore takes steps to gradually reopen its borders, ICA will make efforts to stay on top of the prevailing border control policies and effectively discharge its role to ensure both the security and public health of our nation,” it said.

“We will continue to innovate to enhance ICA’s services to secure our borders as well as to provide greater convenience and secured services to our customers.”

Singapore has lenient visit pass and   visa requirements  for citizens of most countries. If you are a citizen under the following countries  mentioned by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs , it means that you wouldn’t have to apply for a visa before departure.

The period of the short-term visit pass varies for each country or region. Visitors from ASEAN countries, for instance, are entitled to 30 days of stay , whereas those from countries in the European Union are entitled to  90 days of stay . The length of stay may seem long enough for leisure purposes, hopefully, to entice tourists and travellers to Singapore, especially now that the country has begun to establish travel bubbles with several countries such as Germany and Brunei. These travel bubbles allow tourists to visit Singapore without serving a stay-at-home notice (SHN). You may roam around Singapore as long as you have your vaccination documents with you. 

However, for those who visit for reasons other than leisure, like medical purposes, the given length of stay may not be adequate; they may wish to extend their stay in Singapore. This is where a Singapore visa pass extension comes into the picture. As the name implies, it means that you request your visit to be extended past your original date. This process must be done online via  Singapore’s Immigration and Checkpoint Authority (ICA).  It is advisable to apply for a visa extension seven days before the expiry date of your visa pass to avoid overstaying, which is a punishable offence.

Visit Pass Singapore– Documents to Apply for Extension

According to the ICA, in applying for your visa extension, several documents must be submitted via the e-Services. They are as follows:

• Passport with at least six months validity and submit a copy of the page that contains your personal particulars.
• Disembarkation/Embarkation (D/E) number that can be found in your SG Arrival Card.
• If you have immediate family members who are Singapore Citizens or Permanent Residents, a document proving the relationship is required.
• Those seeking an extension for medical purposes must fill out a Form V75, stating the details of the illness and the length of stay needed for treatment. It must be endorsed by a registered doctor in Singapore.

The Need for Local Sponsor

Generally, you don’t need a local sponsor if your extension request is only for 30 days unless you are originating from these countries . If you seek an extension of 89 days from the date of entry, you will also need a sponsor.

Please note that the local sponsor needs to be a Singaporean Citizen or a Singapore permanent resident who is at least 21 years old with a Singpass account. You and your local sponsor may also be requested to attend an interview at the ICA Building for further clarification.

Fees and Processing Time

You must pay $40 when the current valid pass reaches a period of 90 days or more from the date of entry or the pass being issued. It usually takes one to three business days for your extension pass to be given regarding processing time.

A $40 fee is required to extend your visa after your current valid pass reaches a period of 90 days after being issued. It usually takes one to three business days to process your visa extension request.

As you can see, applying for a visa extension in Singapore is not as complicated as it may seem if you know the proper documents and fees to submit. We hope this article can guide you to extend your existing pass with ease.

Singapore Long Term Visit Pass (LTVP): Beginners’ Handbook

Wish to stay in Singapore for an extended period of time to spend time with your family? Find out how you can do so and stay in Singapore for up to two years with the Long Term Visit Pass.

If you're a foreign national but wish to stay in Singapore for over 30 days, you will have to obtain a Long Term Visit Pass (LVTP).

With an LTVP, you can stay in Singapore for a period of up to two years, and the pass can be renewed for subsequent periods. The LTVP is different from other types of visas in Singapore, such as the Employment Pass, which is issued to foreign professionals, managers, and executives who are employed by Singapore companies; or the Student Pass, which is issued to foreign students who wish to study in Singapore.

In a nutshell, the LTVP Singapore is specifically designed for those who wish to stay in Singapore for a longer period of time without having to apply for a new visa every few months.

Read on for our comprehensive guide on everything you need to know about LVTP, including its eligibility, conditions, application process, and requirements.

What Is a Long Term Visit Pass in Singapore?

According to the Ministry of Manpower (MOM), a Long Term Visit Pass (LTVP) in Singapore is a type of visa issued to foreigners who wish to stay in Singapore for an extended period of time to visit their family members who are Singapore citizens or permanent residents, or for other long-term purposes such as employment, business, or study.

The Long-Term Visit Pass is meant for a common-law partner, step-child, or handicapped child of an Employment Pass or S Pass holder. Pass holders who earn over S$12,000 can also get a pass for their parents.

To apply for a LTVP, the applicant must be sponsored by a Singapore citizen or permanent resident who is either a spouse, parent, child or grandchild. The sponsor must also meet certain eligibility criteria, such as income and housing requirements. The application process for the LTVP can be done online or at a Singapore embassy or consulate overseas, and typically takes several weeks to process.

What Is LTVP+?

Also known as the Singapore Long Term Visit Pass Plus , the LTVP+ allows holders to stay in Singapore for three years, and can be subsequently renewed for up to five years per renewal. This is applicable to spouses of Singaporean citizens or Permanent Residents. Additionally, LTVP+ holders can enjoy health and employment benefits.

Nonetheless, LTVP+’s eligibility conditions include having at least one child who is Singaporean. If you do not have a child, you could still be eligible if you have been married for at least three years.

Types of Long Term Visit Pass

There are two types of LTVP available in Singapore – namely the ones issued by the Singapore Immigrant and Checkpoints Authority (ICA), and the MOM.

1st Type: Issued by the ICA

The ICA issues one type of LTVP. This LTVP functions like an extension of an existing Short-Term Visit Pass. This is applicable to foreign visitors who wish to stay in Singapore for over 30 days that the Short-Term Visit Pass permits .

2nd Type: Issued by the MOM

Another type of LTVP is issued by the MOM. This is applicable to the family members of foreign employees who are not eligible for the Dependant’s Pass , but wish to live with their family members in Singapore.

Who Is Eligible To Apply for a Long Term Visit Pass in Singapore?

Depending on the type of LTVP you intend to apply, the eligibility criteria differs.

According to the ICA , you can apply for a LTVP with them if you fulfill the following conditions:

• Graduate from a Higher Learning institution who wishes to be employed in Singapore;
• The mother or grandmother of a young foreigner who is studying in Singapore with a Student’s Pass;
• Foreigner seeking permission to give birth in Singapore.

If you are a foreign employee and wish to bring your family member to Singapore with an LTVP, you can do so if:

• Earn a fixed monthly income of S$6,000 based on your own income, and not the combined household income
• Your employer is a Singapore-registered, established company
• Common-law spouse
• Unmarried step-children under 21 years old

Can You Renew Your Singapore Long Term Visit Pass?

You can renew your Long Term Visit Pass Singapore, following the same process as your initial application.

• To renew your LTVP issued by the ICA, you will have to apply at least ten days before your current one expires.
• To renew your LTVP issued by the MOM, you will have to apply a maximum of six months before your current one expires.

However, renewing your LTVP renewal does not necessarily guarantee that you will obtain your new pass, since you will be assessed based on your eligibility and the existing criteria.

Differences Between LTVP, Employment Pass and S Pass

LTVP, Employment Pass and S Pass are all different types of work visas that allow foreigners to work and live in Singapore. However, they vary in terms of eligibility requirements, benefits, and validity period.

The LTVP is a long-term visit pass issued to foreigners who are married to Singaporean citizens or permanent residents, or who have children who are Singapore citizens or permanent residents. It allows them to stay in Singapore for extended periods of time of up to 2 years initially, and is renewable subsequently. However, it does not allow the pass holder to work in Singapore.

The Employment Pass is a work visa for foreign professionals, managers, executives, and skilled workers who are hired by a Singapore-registered company. To qualify for an Employment Pass, the applicant must have a job offer from a Singapore-based company, earn a monthly income of at least S$4,500, and possess relevant educational qualifications and work experience. The validity period of an Employment Pass is usually between 1 to 2 years, depending on the applicant's qualifications and the sponsoring company.

An S Pass is a work visa for mid-level skilled foreign employees. To qualify for an S Pass, the applicant must have a job offer from a Singapore-based company, earn a monthly minimum income of S$2,500, and have relevant qualifications and work experience. The validity period of an S Pass is usually between 1 to 2 years, depending on the applicant's qualifications and the sponsoring company.

In summary, an LTVP allows foreigners to stay in Singapore for an extended period of time, but does not allow them to work. On the other hand, an Employment Pass is meant for high-level skilled foreign professionals and managers, while an S Pass is for

mid-level skilled foreign employees. Both Employment Pass and S Pass holders are allowed to work in Singapore, with Employment Pass holders enjoying more benefits – including the ability to bring their families over and to apply for permanent residency.

Differences Between LTVP and Dependant Pass

LTVP and Dependant’s Pass are both visas issued by the Singapore government to the family members of foreigners who are living and working in Singapore. While they share some similarities, there are also some key differences between the two:

Eligibility Requirements

A Dependant Pass is issued to the legally married spouse or unmarried children (under the age of 21) of an Employment Pass or S Pass holder, while a Long-Term Visit Pass is issued to a wider range of family members, including the legally married spouse or unmarried children (under 21 years old) of a Singapore citizen, permanent resident or Employment Pass holder. The LTVP is also issued to other family members such as parents, step-parents, and handicapped children who are over 21 years old.

Dependant’s Pass holders can work in Singapore, but only if they secure their own work visa. On the other hand, LTVP holders are not allowed to work in Singapore.

Dependant’s Pass holders enjoy similar benefits as their main pass holder in terms of healthcare, education and access to housing. They can also apply for permanent residency. However, LTVP holders are not entitled to the same benefits as Dependant’s Pass holders, but they are eligible to stay in Singapore for a longer period of time and have more flexibility in terms of their stay in the country.

Validity Period

A Dependant’s Pass is usually valid for the same duration as the main pass holder's work visa. For instance, if the main pass holder has an Employment Pass that is valid for 2 years, the Dependant’s Pass will also be valid for 2 years. In comparison, an LTVP can be issued for up to 2 years initially, and is renewable thereafter.

In summary , the main difference between LTVP and Dependant’s Pass lies in the eligibility requirements, validity period and employment opportunities. Dependant’s Pass is only available for family members of Employment Pass or S Pass holders while LTVP is available for a wider range of family members, and Dependant’s Pass holders can work with a separate work visa, while LTVP holders are not allowed to work in Singapore.

The Required Steps of Applying for the Long Term Visit Pass

Gather the required documents and complete the application form . Upon submission of your application, you can expect a notification from the MOM.

Once you have successfully completed this step, you will obtain the in-principle letter of approval. Afterwards, you should bring your family members over. When you are all in Singapore, you will have to obtain a pass issued for your family members.

How to apply for a long term visit pass:

Pre-approved Letter of Consent (PLOC)

The Pre-approved Letter of Consent (PLOC) is a document introduced by the MOM, and allows the holder to work in Singapore legally.

The PLOC does not require you to have a job offer secured, yet remains effective so long as your LTVP or LVTP+ remain valid. This means that in the event that your LTVP or LTVP+ expires, your PLOC also becomes invalid.

To be eligible for a PLOC application, you are required to have a spouse or unmarried child of a Singaporean citizen or permanent resident. Otherwise, you can also have an LTVP or LTVP+ to be eligible for the application. If you are unable to apply for a PLOC but wish to work in Singapore, you will have to apply for a Letter of Consent through your company.

Letter of Consent (LOC)

Unlike the PLOC, the Letter of Consent (LOC) requires you to have secured a job offer prior to applying. Granted by the MOM, this letter provides you the right to legally work for a Singapore-registered business. There is no limit to the number of employees a Singapore-registered business can employ, which makes LOC holders appealing employment prospects.

To be eligible for a LOC, you will need to have a Dependant’s Pass that is tied to an Employment Pass holder, EntrePass, or be a holder of a Personalized Employment Pass (PEP) that is valid for a minimum of 3 months from the application date.

Alternatively, you can also possess a LTVP that is tied to a Singaporean Citizen or Permanent Resident, that is valid for a minimum of 3 months.

Employment Pass

Holders of the LTVP and Dependant’s Pass can also  apply for the Employment Pass, other than their family member with the main work permit.

With an Employment Pass, there is more flexibility – in fact, the pass holder can even hold directorial roles in a Singapore-registered business.

Holders of the LTVP and Dependant’s Pass with an Employment Pass can also freely renew and cancel the pass, without being affected by the main family member.

To Round Off

In conclusion, the Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP) in Singapore is an important visa option for family members of Singaporean citizens, Permanent Residents, or work visa holders who want to stay in the country for an extended period of time. The LTVP allows family members to stay in Singapore for up to two years initially, with the possibility of renewal.

Although LTVP holders are not permitted to work in Singapore, they can enjoy the country's high standard of living, healthcare, education, and other benefits. The application process for the LTVP involves determining eligibility, submitting an online application, paying a fee, undergoing a medical examination, and collecting the LTVP.

How Much Does the Application Cost?

There is a non-refundable application fee of S$30 for each submitted application. Payment can be done online using a credit card.

Once your LTVP is approved, you are required to pay S$60 for the pass itself. Additionally, you may also have to pay for other applicable fees depending on your situation.

What Does the Application Process Look Like?

The application process is relatively easy. Simply gather the necessary documents, complete the application, and submit them. In a few weeks’ time, you will either receive a notification about your acceptance or rejection. If your application is approved, you will obtain the in-principle approval letter. Subsequently, bring your sponsored family member over to Singapore, and have their pass issued with the authority.

Can I Extend or Cancel My Application?

To extend your LTVP , you will have to repeat the same process as your initial LTVP application. However, this does not necessarily guarantee that you will obtain your new pass, since you will be assessed based on your eligibility and the existing criteria.

To cancel your LTVP , log onto the Employment Pass Online portal and hover over to the LTVP section. You can then cancel your LTVP in just a few clicks. If you’re the person cancelling the LTVP, it will be immediately cancelled. If your employer is cancelling your visa, it could take some time for your LTVP to be cancelled.

In the event that your family member no longer requires the LTVP, you have to cancel it and return the card to the issuing authority. This cancellation is immediate and does not incur any fees.

How Long Is the Long Term Visit Pass Valid for?

The LTVP has a validity of up to two years, depending on your reason of application. If you wish to join a family member who is a foreign employee in Singapore, your Pass will have the same validity period as their Employment Pass.

All You Need to Know About Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP) Application in Singapore

• by SGTI_Admin
• May 9, 2023 August 18, 2023

With the LTVP (MOM) , foreigners with work passes can bring in additional family members to stay in Singapore. Additionally, Singapore citizens and Permanent Residents (PRs) can also sponsor LTVP (ICA) for their family members.

The Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP) application is specifically designed for individuals who want to stay in Singapore for a longer duration with their direct family members without the inconvenience of applying for a new visa every few months.

If you’re considering applying for an LTVP in Singapore, our article will guide you through the eligibility criteria, application process, and LTVP renewal procedure. Furthermore, we will explore the benefits of LTVP Plus (LTVP+), an enhanced version of the pass that offers even more perks. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to bring your loved ones to Singapore for a long-term visit!

Different Types of Long-Term Visit Passes in Singapore

If you’re planning a long-term stay in Singapore, you may need to apply for a Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP). There are two types of LTVPs that you can apply for, each issued by a different authority:

This pass is essentially an extension of an existing Short-Term Visit Pass for family members of Singapore citizens and Permanent Residents (PRs). It is suitable for foreign visitors who wish to stay in Singapore for more than the 30 days allowed by a Short-Term Visit Pass.

This pass is intended for the family members of foreign employees who are not eligible for a Dependant’s Pass but want to live with their loved ones in Singapore.

What is LTVP+?

The Long-Term Visit Pass-Plus (LTVP+) scheme was introduced to assist Singaporean families with foreign spouses. This new scheme offers foreign spouses of Singapore citizens who qualify a longer period of residency, providing them with greater certainty of stay. The LTVP+ also offers a range of benefits, including access to healthcare and employment opportunities.

Couples with at least one Singaporean child from their marriage are eligible to apply for the LTVP+. For those without a Singapore Citizen child, the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) will consider other factors, such as the duration of marriage, and generally look more favourably upon those who have been married for at least 3 years.

LTVP+ holders will be eligible for a longer period of residency in Singapore, with the LTVP+ being valid for 3 years in the first instance and for up to 5 years for each subsequent renewal. Additionally, LTVP+ holders will receive healthcare subsidies for inpatient services at restructured hospitals, which are set at a level close to that for Permanent Residents.

Furthermore, LTVP+ holders seeking work in Singapore will find it easier to do so. Prospective employers of LTVP+ holders can apply to the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) for a Letter of Consent (LOC) on their behalf, instead of an Employment/S Pass or Work Permit.

Eligibility Criteria for Applying for a Long-Term Visit Pass (ICA) in Singapore

To be eligible for a Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP) issued by the Singapore Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) , the requirements vary depending on the type of pass you are applying for. Here are the criteria for applying for an LTVP with ICA:

• Once the payment has been made, the applicant will be informed if he/she is required to visit ICA Building physically for the issuance of LTVP. If applicant is required to visit ICA Building, the applicant can download the In-Principle Approval (IPA) letter which is valid for three months from date of issue. With effect from 27 February 2023, a digital Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP) will be issued in place of a physical LTVP card.

The card registration formalities comprise undergoing a medical check-up, registering fingerprints, and having your photo taken.
• After completing the registration process and your documents are verified, the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) will dispatch the card to the provided address within 5 working days.

Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP) Renewal

To renew an LTVP issued by the ICA , you need to apply at least 2 months before your current LTVP expires. This is to ensure that your application can be processed and approved before your current pass expires. You can apply for renewal online through the ICA’s e-Service portal.

If your LTVP is issued by the MOM , you can apply for renewal up to 6 months before it expires. It is recommended that you start the renewal process early to allow for any delays in processing. Your employer or EA can apply for renewal through the EP Online.

It is important to note that renewals are not guaranteed. You will still need to meet the eligibility criteria and provide all the necessary documents for evaluation.
