Long-Term Visit Pass

What is an LTVP?

An LTVP is a long-stay pass that allows eligible family members of Singapore citizens, permanent residents, and certain foreign pass holders to reside in Singapore. For many families, it is a chance to build a life together — reuniting with a spouse, supporting ageing parents, or giving children access to one of the world's most respected education systems.

In practice, navigating the requirements and application process is rarely as simple as it looks. Working with an experienced immigration consultancy means you have the right documents in place from the outset, a clear understanding of how ICA is likely to view your profile, and expert guidance at every step.

Looking for a Singapore LTVP Consultancy?

E&H Immigration handles the full range of LTVP cases — from spouses and children through to parents of Singapore citizens and permanent residents — including end-to-end bundled processing for families applying together.

We are also trusted by rejected LTVP applicants who need more than a resubmission: a frank assessment of what went wrong, a rebuilt profile strategy, and a stronger case before anything goes back to ICA. Whether you are applying for the first time or recovering from a refusal, we bring the same depth of involvement to every case.

Before You Submit Your LTVP Application to ICA

When you apply for a Singapore LTVP, ICA considers not only whether the form has been filled in correctly, but also whether the relationship is genuine, the sponsor's financial standing, and whether the overall application is consistent and credible.

Before you submit, we help identify document gaps, organise supporting evidence, prepare explanations where needed, and position the case clearly for ICA review. If you are researching how to apply LTVP, apply for LTVP, or apply for long term visit pass status, this early review helps you avoid rushing into an incomplete long term pass application.

Why It Matters

Why Getting Your LTVP Application Right the First Time Matters

LTVP applications involve strict documentation and sponsorship requirements governed by the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA), and a poorly prepared submission can lead to rejection and a tedious reapplication. For applicants seeking the enhanced LTVP+, the bar is higher still — additional requirements apply and the upgrade is offered only to eligible applicants at ICA's discretion.

Insufficient evidence of a genuine relationship is one of the most common reasons an LTVP is rejected — strong, consistent documentation matters from the outset.

Common Challenges

Proving the Relationship is Genuine: ICA scrutinises the authenticity of marriages and relationships. Insufficient evidence of a genuine relationship is one of the most common reasons for LTVP rejection.
Incomplete or Inconsistent Documentation: Missing documents, inconsistencies in dates, or improperly translated certificates can delay or derail your application entirely.
Sponsor Eligibility and Financial Standing: The sponsor must demonstrate sufficient financial capacity to support the applicant. Weak financials or past immigration issues can negatively impact the outcome.
