Unless you are prepared for a 99% rejection, don't bother applying.
Better get here, get long term pass.
PR isn't easy to come by unless your spouse is a citizen or you have been married for 3 years AND you have been here for a while.
What passport does your spouse hold?

I am an LTVP holder and not an LTVP+ holder, can I apply for an LOC if I intend to work in Singapore?
Spouses of SC/PR on LTVP are eligible for LOC from 1st Feb 2015.
Take note, of late, LOCs are also being throttled. So it's not a walk in the park....CScottG wrote:Thanks to everyone for the feedback. 0.5% were some pretty great odds. To answer the earlier question she is Malaysian Chinese.
So having an LTVP and getting the employer to issue an LOC is easier/less restrictions/less red tape than an Employment Pass? I talking with some companies and will be most likely changing industries so want to keep the hurdles to as minimum as possible for an offer to come through.
Thanks again for the feedback.
If you had married a Citizen, your options would have been more ..CScottG wrote:Thanks for the feedback. Seems employment through EP or PR (low chance) are my options. I am not quitting my job to come there, just looking for ways to make it easier. I am in China and not the place to start a family, not getting any younger
...and you will need to secure a job within 6 months after receiving it.bgd wrote:If you meet the salary criteria (18K per month I think) your other option is a PEP. It's like a PR in that it isn't tied to a job but only lasts 3 years and is not renewable.
