So I went to ICA, which is very near me. When it was my turn, I showed the office the birth cert, passport, etc., and the office asked, "Where's our advisory note?" I had completely forgot that our hospital had given us the "Advisory Note" with all the instructions on "Regularising the immigration status of a foreign child born in Singapore". Before you can even apply for PR or LTSVP, you need to go to ICA to do this first. And in the upper-right corner of this advisory note, there's a DE no (Hxx-xxx-xxx-x).
The weird thing was, the office was shocked that I was able to get my child's passport, because I had told her that I don't recall seeing this advisory note. "But you need this in order to apply for the passport at your embassy," she insisted. This is not true. Otherwise, why was I holding my child's foreign passport already? (In actuality, you can either show your kid's newly obtained foreign passport, or a receipt/letter of acknowledgement from your embassy indicating that you have "submitted an application for a travel document for your child.")
I went home, found the advisory note, submitted it to ICA (Level 4) along with photocopies of all other required docs mentioned in the advisory note, and then went home to apply for my child's LTSVP online using the DE number that was on the advisory note all along.
Thanks y'all! Hope this info helps.
