Long-Term Visit Pass Application/Renewal 

The Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP) is granted to eligible foreigners who wish to live in Singapore for an extended period. Local sponsors can use this platform to conveniently submit applications for their family members and track their status online.

As a foreigner, you are eligible to apply for an LTVP if you fall under any of the following categories:

Eligibility	Notes on Submission

Couples who complete the PMLA before marriage benefit from a shorter LTVP processing time of 6 weeks, instead of the usual processing time of up to 6 months. The PMLA is free.

ICA considers factors such as the individual's family ties to Singaporeans, economic contributions, qualifications, age, family profile and length of residency, to assess the applicant's ability to contribute to Singapore and integrate into our society, as well as his or her commitment to sinking roots.

ICA has no affiliation with any external migration agency/commercial entity that claims to be a Singapore immigration specialist/consultant or partner. ICA does not support or endorse services by self-proclaimed professional immigration consultancy service providers for LTVP applications.

 

All applicants must review the application form before submission. To review the form, applicants need to log in using their Singpass or unique login credentials (provided by ICA for those ineligible for Singpass) to make their declarations.

Approval for a Singpass account application may take 2 to 5 working days. We recommend that sponsors/applicants start an application only after all eligible applicants have successfully registered for a Singpass account. 

 

Please submit your LTVP renewal application at least 3 months before your current LTVP expires. The renewed LTVP will be valid from the date of issuance (upon payment of the issuance fee). ICA will not carry forward any remaining validity from your current LTVP to the renewed LTVP.
