Try and avoid staying in Singapore for greater than 183 days in a year.Kleef wrote:Hi again - I seem to be responding to my own posts But here is an update. I will conitnue to try and get a long term visa, not sure how but am trying. In the meantime I have been offered a room in a friends house in Australia to stay whilst I stay out of Singapore for long enough to be given another 90 day visa on my return. My question;- does anybody know how long I would have to stay out in order to qualify for this? I am hoping 4-6 weeks would be enough as I don't want to impose on my friends generosity.
Thanks in advance for any help
A work pass at 75 ? Got ?lee85 wrote:Having a work pass is certainly desirable in your case. And I agree with the previous post that said no matter what in 1 year your stay CANNOT be more than 183 days. Maybe you could have a plan B, like relocate with your wife to UK instead of Singapore. I know that european countries are usually more lenient and not so mercenary like Singapore plus they have a lot more welfares than here in Singapore. So yeah maybe you can start to think of having an option B.

I understand that in ideal scenario Singapore should consider his LTVP as his spouse is Singaporean. However, as I mentioned previously, Singapore from the very beginning is a very practical country with a limited land and resources. Therefore, I think the goverment does not want to inundate Singapore with people from their 75 although legally they are eligible to stay in Singapore because they marry Singaporean but from the practical perspective, it does not contribute to Singapore.In addition, as you getting older you might also put more burden to Singapore healthcare system, plus Kleef in this case does not have CPF(medisave) that could be shown to Singapore government agencies as assurance. That`s why I suggest that the best option is to go back or relocate to UK with his wife, where the UK goverment point of view is diff from Singapore.ecureilx wrote:A work pass at 75 ?
