Can I extend my short-term visit pass in Singapore?
Yes — ICA accepts extension requests through its e-Service, and extensions are granted at ICA's discretion. Apply before the current pass expires, and note that repeat or back-to-back extensions are not guaranteed and may be refused.
Apply early, with a reason
ICA weighs the purpose of the extension — family visits, medical care or a pending application are common grounds; tourism alone rarely justifies long extensions.
If you are waiting on an application
A pending LTVP, PR or work pass application may allow you to stay under a short-term pass while ICA reviews — but confirm the terms for your specific situation rather than assuming.
