Re: Marrying a Singapore PR
Sure you can get married, but you don't need an LTVP as long as you are on an EP. What do you plan on doing after you are married? Quitting your job and letting your wife support you?

Re: Marrying a Singapore PR
You can get married in sg and you are eligible for an LTVP. But LTVP approval is not guaranteed so try to keep your EP after getting married.
Re: Marrying a Singapore PR
Thanks both of u for the reply. @sundaymorning M not gonna let my wife support me. But if lets say i want to change the job, still have to apply another EP. No guarantee can get approve or not. So my point here is if i get married while m on EP, can i instantly apply for LTVP, does my chances of LTVP approval are more than any other applicant who come on social visits.
Re: Marrying a Singapore PR
Since you are on an EP, you cannot get an LTVP. Only one type of immigration pass is allowed per person. Sorry for not being clear on my earlier post. If you give up your EP, you can apply for an LTVP (sponsored by your spouse) but approval is not guaranteed.
Re: Marrying a Singapore PR
Thanks Bro75 for the clear info. So until my EP is valid no problem. Once it expires, then i can apply for LTVP. Thanks buddy! Cheers 

Re: Marrying a Singapore PR
Ooops! Sorry forgot to ask. Can i work on LTVP?
Re: Marrying a Singapore PR
LTVP holders are not allowed to work. Only LTVP+ holders are allowed (need to get LOC). LTVP+ is only given to spouse of citizens.

Re: Marrying a Singapore PR
Oh like that. I that case what is your advice bcoz my EP is gonna finish sooner or later. What can i do after that. Thks
Re: Marrying a Singapore PR
Your 'EP is gonna finish', or your employment with your current employer?
If the former, the employer applies to renew the EP.
If the latter, you need to go and find yourself another job.

Re: Marrying a Singapore PR
When you lose the job, your EP is canceled and you will be given an SVP of 30 days which you can try to find another job and/or make plans to return to your country if your application for an LTVP is unsuccessful.

Re: Marrying a Singapore PR
Seems to be at odds with the official version of things.

But anyways, there are always exceptions. This could be one of them.

Re: Marrying a Singapore PR
But its stated that LTVP+ is only for those who have citizen spouses not PR and LTVP can b for those having PR spouse. But i am still confused coz i have seen ppl with LTVP woring in SG. Howcome like that?
