Hi,
I've been offered an unpaid internship by a company so I would like to know if it's illegal for an LTVP holder to do unpaid internship?
Thanks

Re: Unpaid Internship For LTVP holder
Possibly, you're depriving a legitimate employee (SC, SPR) of a place as an internee.mogumogu91 wrote:Hi,

the ltvp in principle approval wording includes
I understand you are allowed to "explore" for work, but the term "intern" might be problematic even if unpaid. Others may have specific experience on this but to me seems in the grey area and would be safest to clarify with MOM.Holder of a Visit Pass is not permitted to work or engage in any business, profession or occupation without a valid work permit or written consent from the Controller of Work Pass.
Re: Unpaid Internship For LTVP holder
I am quite certain that you cannot be employed by a company while on a LTVP. A letter of consent (LoC) is possible only for LTVP+ and DP holders these days. As an LTVP holder, your company will need to apply for a work pass to hire you.mogumogu91 wrote:Hi,

Not paying you, just makes the company seem more desperate for free labour and increase suspicions of kickback (or off-the-books) schemes. I am not claiming these are the case in your situation, but just viewing at your case from another point of view.
If you are still unsure, best to call MoM and clarify.
