What are the main differences between the Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP) and the Long-Term Visit Pass-Plus (LTVP+)?

As of 2025, the LTVP and LTVP+ differ mainly in eligibility, validity period, work rights, and benefits. The standard LTVP—issued by either ICA or MOM—allows family members of Singapore Citizens, PRs, or work pass holders to stay in Singapore but requires separate approval for employment. The LTVP+, issued only by ICA, is reserved for foreign spouses of Singapore Citizens or PRs and grants longer residency (three to five years), permission to work under a Letter of Consent, and subsidised public healthcare access.

Who can apply for an LTVP from ICA versus an LTVP from MOM?

The LTVP from the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) is for foreign spouses, biological parents, and unmarried children of Singapore Citizens or PRs, as well as certain graduates, grandparents, or visitors giving birth in Singapore. Meanwhile, the LTVP from the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) is meant for immediate family members of Employment Pass (EP) or S Pass holders—such as common-law spouses, unmarried handicapped children above 21, and step-children under 21. Each is subject to different requirements and renewal conditions.

Can LTVP or LTVP+ holders work in Singapore?

LTVP holders are not automatically eligible to work. They must secure a separate Work Permit, S Pass, or Employment Pass from the Ministry of Manpower. In contrast, LTVP+ holders—who are typically foreign spouses of Singapore Citizens or PRs—can work more easily by obtaining a Letter of Consent (LOC) from the Ministry of Manpower. Employers hiring LTVP+ holders are not subject to foreign worker quota restrictions, making the LTVP+ a more flexible and attractive option for family integration and employment stability.

What are the healthcare benefits available to LTVP+ holders in Singapore?

LTVP+ holders are eligible for subsidised rates at public hospitals for inpatient care—comparable to those offered to Singapore Permanent Residents. This access reflects Singapore’s family-supportive policies and provides meaningful healthcare savings. LTVP holders, however, are not covered under this scheme and typically need to rely on private health insurance or out-of-pocket medical expenses.

How long can LTVP and LTVP+ holders stay in Singapore, and what are the renewal terms?

The validity of an LTVP depends on the sponsoring relationship and pass type. For ICA-issued LTVPs, validity can extend up to two years, subject to continued eligibility. MOM-issued LTVPs for dependents of work pass holders follow the principal’s pass validity. The LTVP+, on the other hand, is initially valid for three years, renewable for up to five years, depending on the marriage’s stability, family ties, and sponsor’s financial standing. Renewals are assessed individually by ICA based on updated circumstances.

Who is eligible for LTVP+?

As of 2025, LTVP+ eligibility is limited to foreign spouses or children of Singapore Citizens or Permanent Residents. Couples with at least one child who is a Singapore citizen, or where the foreign spouse is pregnant, may be considered. Other factors such as marriage duration, sponsor’s financial capacity, and good conduct of both sponsor and applicant are also evaluated. Each application is assessed individually by the ICA, with applicants generally considered more favourably if married for at least three years.

I am a LTVP/LTVP+ holder. How can I apply for a Letter of Consent (LOC)?

Eligible LTVP+ holders, typically foreign spouses or unmarried children of Singapore Citizens or PRs, can apply for a Letter of Consent (LOC) through the Ministry of Manpower to work in Singapore. The LOC allows them to be employed without requiring a separate Work Permit, and employers are not subject to foreign worker quota restrictions. Standard LTVP holders, however, must obtain a separate work pass before starting employment, highlighting the enhanced employment benefits of LTVP+.

长期访问通行证（LTVP）与长期访问通行证加长版（LTVP+）的区别

长期访问通行证

了解新加坡的移民选择可能很复杂，尤其是在长期访问准证（LTVP）和长期访问准证+（LTVP+）之间做出选择时。两者的目的截然不同，并为不同的申请人群体提供不同的优惠。以下是您需要了解的有关这两种居留选择的所有信息，包括一份详细的对照表，以帮助您做出明智的决定。

来自人力资源管理厅的 LTVP

由人力部（MOM）签发的LTVP主要针对就业准证（EP）或S 准证持有者的直系亲属。这些家庭成员包括

同居配偶。
21 岁以上未婚残疾子女。
21 岁以下的继子女。

LTVP允许符合条件的家庭成员在新加坡居住长达2年，续期取决于工作准证持有人是否继续符合资格。不过，该计划的好处相对有限：

就业：LTVP 持有者不能自动获得工作资格，必须单独申请工作许可证或就业准证。
医疗保健：LTVP 持有人没有特定的医疗补贴，这意味着他们必须依靠私人医疗保险。
费用：申请费和签发费最高 360 新元（每次提交申请 105 新元，签发 225 新元，多次往返签证 30 新元）。

国际档案理事会的 LTVP

移民与关卡局（ICA）签发的 LTVP 适用于：

a) 新加坡永久居民或新加坡公民的直系亲属。这些家庭成员包括

合法婚姻配偶。同居配偶不符合条件。
亲生父母。姻亲不符合条件。
在与新加坡公民或永久居民的合法婚姻中出生或被其合法收养的 21 岁以下未婚子女。

b) 在新加坡求职的高等院校毕业生。只有本ICA 目录所列学校的毕业生才有资格申请。

c) 持学生准证在新加坡学习的子女的父母或祖父母。

d) 申请在新加坡分娩许可的访客。

与人力部签发的 LTVP 相比，申请费和签发费要低得多，最高为 135新元（每次申请 45 新元，签发 LTVP 60 新元，多次旅行签证 30 新元（如适用））。

虽然 "长期签证计划 "为家庭成员提供了与亲人保持密切联系的途径，但它在工作和医疗福利方面的限制会给那些希望在新加坡建立更稳定、更融合生活的人带来挑战。

什么是长期访问通票加长版（LTVP+）？

LTVP+是标准 LTVP 的升级版，专为新加坡公民或永久居民（PR）的外籍配偶 量身定制，仅由 ICA 颁发。该准证体现了新加坡通过提供更多福利来支持本地家庭单位的承诺：

延期居留：LTVP+ 的初始有效期较长，为3 年，续签有效期最长可达5 年。这种延长的有效期为家庭提供了更大的稳定性。
就业机会：LTVP+ 持有者有资格工作，无需单独申请工作许可。他们可以根据同意书（LOC）申请工作，雇主不受外籍员工配额的限制。
医疗保健福利：LTVP+ 持有人可享受与永久居民类似的住院医疗补贴。这可以大大减少家庭的医疗开支。

对于打算在新加坡与新加坡配偶共同生活的外籍配偶来说，LTVP+ 的这些更多好处使其成为一个更具吸引力的选择。

LTVP+ 资格

婚后至少有一名子女为新加坡公民的夫妇或外籍配偶怀孕的夫妇可能有资格申请 LTVP+。其他考虑因素可能包括婚姻持续时间、担保人在经济上支持家庭的能力以及担保人和申请人的良好行为。一般而言，如果申请人已结婚至少三年，则可获得更多的 LTVP+ 考虑。移民局會按每宗申請的個別情況作出考慮。
