How long does it take to get an LTVP approved in Singapore?

Most Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP) applications take around six weeks to process. However, if you are a foreign spouse of a Singapore Citizen applying without a Pre-Marriage LTVP Assessment (PMLA), it may take up to six months. Submitting a PMLA can shorten approval time to about six weeks.

What is the Pre-Marriage LTVP Assessment (PMLA), and why is it important?

The PMLA is an optional pre-application step offered by ICA for couples planning to marry a Singapore Citizen. Completing it early provides an advance indication of LTVP eligibility and can significantly reduce waiting time when applying after marriage.

Can I renew my LTVP before it expires?

Yes. You can renew your LTVP up to three months before expiry, but any unused validity will not be carried forward. ICA recommends applying early to avoid overstaying and to ensure continuous legal residence in Singapore.

What fees do I need to pay for an LTVP application and issuance?

The LTVP application fee is S$45 per applicant, payable online during submission. Upon approval, an issuance fee of S$60 applies, plus S$30 for a Multiple Journey Visa (if required). Payments can be made via Visa, Mastercard, AMEX, PayNow, or Internet Banking.

Who can sponsor an LTVP application in Singapore?

A Singapore Citizen or Permanent Resident can sponsor an LTVP for their spouse or unmarried child under 21 years old, including legally adopted children. The sponsor must submit the application through their Singpass account and ensure all supporting documents are accurate and complete.

How do I update my passport details if I’m an existing LTVP holder?

If you’ve renewed or changed your passport, log in to ICA’s e-Service and upload your new passport biodata page. ICA will update your records, and you’ll receive an email confirmation once the change is processed.

What should I do if my LTVP renewal is still pending but my current pass is expiring?

If your renewal is still under review and your LTVP is about to expire, ICA will automatically convert your pass to a Short-Term Visit Pass (STVP). You’ll receive an email notification confirming this temporary extension while your renewal is being processed.
