Is it possible to convert to Islam and bring in extra wives on an LTVP

As far as I can recall MUIS allows polygamy is the first wife agrees and you earn more than $6000 (per wife?). IF a PR or SC were a muslim man and married a muslim women foreigner could they sponsor the foreign second wife on an LTVP successfully (putting all other LTVP issues aside?). Asking for a friend.
I not lawyer/teacher/CPA.
You've been arrested? Law Society of Singapore can provide referrals.
You want an International School job? School website or http://www.ISS.edu
Your rugrat needs a School? Avoid for profit schools
You need Tax advice? Ask a CPA
You ran away without doing NS? Shame on you!

I would expect the answer is yes.

If they approve it locally, it would be a bit illogical to refuse LTVP.
But I would expect at the same time, MUIS will have a say.

When it comes to ROM or ROMM, the applicants MUST sign a form saying they agree Marriage in Singapore does not entitle the couple to any residency status.

Or something like that :)
