SingaporeLTVPLong-Term Visit PassParentCommon-LawMOM
Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP) under MOM Work Pass regime covers relatives outside the narrow DP eligibility. Two LTVP tracks differ by threshold:
(a) Spouse / parent / handicapped child LTVP — issued to spouse where civil marriage not the basis, parent of EP holder, child with disability
(b) Step-child LTVP — for step-children not on DP
Common-law partner LTVP is available but heavily scrutinised; same-sex partners are not recognised.
The PARENT-LTVP threshold is higher than DP — currently principal must earn approximately S$12,000 monthly fixed salary (verify current MOM threshold).
Draft an LTVP strategy for [LTVP_APPLICANT_NAME] ([RELATIONSHIP], age [APPLICANT_AGE]) seeking [STAY_INTENT] sponsored by [PRINCIPAL_NAME] ([PRINCIPAL_PASS_TYPE], S$[PRINCIPAL_SALARY_SGD]/month).
§1 — ELIGIBILITY BY RELATIONSHIP (140-170 words)
PARENT LTVP:
• Principal must hold EP (not S Pass / Work Permit) — verify [PRINCIPAL_PASS_TYPE]
• Principal's monthly fixed salary must meet parent-LTVP threshold (~S$12,000, verify current)
• Both parents can be sponsored (mother + father)
• Step-parents: case-by-case
• Singapore citizens / PRs sponsoring parents: separate pathway via ICA LTVP
SPOUSE LTVP (where DP not applicable):
• Where marriage occurred but civil documentation challenging
• Where principal earns below DP threshold but above LTVP threshold
• Common-law partner: must demonstrate 12+ months continuous cohabitation, joint financial arrangements, shared address; same-sex partner not recognised
STEP-CHILD LTVP:
• Step-child below 21
• Principal cannot put child on DP (e.g. lacks custody from prior marriage)
• Custody documentation + non-custodial parent consent required
CHILD WITH DISABILITY (over 21) LTVP:
• Continued sponsorship past 21 for disabled child
• Medical documentation of incapacity required
For [LTVP_APPLICANT_NAME]: confirm which LTVP track applies.
§2 — SALARY-THRESHOLD VERIFICATION (90-120 words)
Current MOM LTVP thresholds (verify on mom.gov.sg):
• Spouse LTVP: ~S$6,000/month
• Parent LTVP: ~S$12,000/month
• Step-child LTVP: ~S$6,000/month
For [PRINCIPAL_NAME] at S$[PRINCIPAL_SALARY_SGD]:
• Parent-LTVP threshold MET / NOT MET — note implication
• If threshold not met: counsel principal on alternatives:
- Short-term visit (90-day social visit pass via ICA, renewable but not residence)
- Apply for parent-LTVP after principal's salary growth + EP renewal
- Singapore Citizen / PR child of parent can sponsor instead (different scheme via ICA)
§3 — APPLICATION DOCUMENTS (130-160 words)
For PARENT LTVP via MOM:
□ LTVP application form (online via MOM EP Online)
□ Principal's EP card + latest IPA / employment letter
□ Birth certificate of principal showing parent-child relationship + English translation + Apostille (Indian originals)
□ Marriage certificate of parents (showing maiden name reconciliation)
□ Parent's passport — bio + all stamped pages
□ Recent passport photo (35mm × 45mm)
□ Parent's home-country residence proof + financial means
□ Application fee: S$105 (verify)
□ Issuance fee: S$225 (verify)
For COMMON-LAW PARTNER LTVP:
□ Joint lease / mortgage 12+ months
□ Joint bank account statements
□ Joint utility bills
□ Photographs over multiple years
□ Affidavits from family / friends recognising the partnership
□ Cohabitation declaration (sworn)
□ Reason marriage has not occurred (immigration constraints, recognition issues — explain)
For STEP-CHILD LTVP:
□ Birth certificate
□ Custody order from court (or non-custodial parent consent)
□ Marriage certificate of principal + step-parent
□ Documents from prior marriage (divorce decree, custody order)
§4 — PROCESSING + IPA (60-90 words)
• Processing: 3 weeks online; 8 weeks manual
• IPA letter issued — entry-visa acceptable for Indians
• Within 14 days arrival: appointment at MOM Services Centre for biometrics + pass card
• LTVP card issued ~1 week
• Validity: tied to principal's EP, typically 1-2 years initial issuance
§5 — POST-ISSUANCE RIGHTS + LIMITATIONS (100-130 words)
LTVP PARENT:
• Cannot work without LOC; LOC for LTVP-parents harder to obtain than for DP-spouses
• Can drive on Singapore driver's licence (conversion from foreign licence)
• Healthcare: not entitled to subsidised public healthcare (foreigner rates apply); private insurance strongly recommended given elderly demographics
• Long stays without medical insurance: risk catastrophic cost
LTVP COMMON-LAW PARTNER:
• Same work / study restrictions as DP-spouse
• LOC potentially available but threshold scrutiny
LTVP STEP-CHILD:
• Education access same as DP-child
• Cannot work without LOC after age 16
ALL LTVP:
• Travel in/out of Singapore unrestricted (multi-entry once card issued)
• Renewable with principal's pass renewal
§6 — RENEWAL + TRANSITION (40-60 words)
• LTVP renewal: principal's EP renewal + continued salary at threshold + ongoing relationship
• Parent transitioning toward PR: long road via ICA Aged Parent Scheme, very limited
• Common-law partner formalising marriage: convert LTVP → DP if threshold met
• Step-child reaching 21: must transition to Student Pass / work pass
End with: "DRAFT LTVP application strategy — MOM-licensed Employment Agency or Singapore-qualified lawyer review recommended. Verify current parent-LTVP salary threshold at mom.gov.sg — has trended upward in recent revisions. Common-law partner LTVP requires substantial cohabitation evidence; build the file over time rather than rushing application."Unlock the vault to see the full prompt
