LTVP for Institute of Higher Learning graduates
LTVP for Institute of Higher Learning graduates
Hi.
I am Indian, obtained my PhD from NTU in 2016. After my PhD I joined work directly and have been on EP until NOV 30. I gave my EP back and obtained a 30-day SVP that expires coming DEC 30. I was told that I am eligible for the LTVP given to graduates from Singaporean universities. Every graduate has one-shot at this LTVP I understand.
I have applied for this LTVP on Dec 7 but the application is still receiving attention. Can anyone advice if this delay is purely seasonal or there is a chance of not getting LTVP.
Since my SVP will expire on 30 DEC, I am planning to ask for another 30-day extension while the LTVP result is pending. When should I apply for this extension?
Much appreciated!

Re: LTVP for Institute of Higher Learning graduates
LTVP is for recent graduates so I don't think you are going to get that.. and prepare yourself to leave Singapore on 30th Dec because you are definitely not going to get that extension.opunsoars wrote:Hi.

Have you ever used e-XTend before? I am not sure how surely you can say that he wont get an extension?
Re: LTVP for Institute of Higher Learning graduates
Yeah I have similar thoughts too.the previous reply sounded more of a curse haha
Re: LTVP for Institute of Higher Learning graduates
Thanks for posting this message. I was wondering if you got the LTVP? I am in similar situation, would be grateful to know what happened. Cheers
Re: LTVP for Institute of Higher Learning graduates
Yes, received the LTVP. Another thing that happened was that I had to pay fine for overstaying in SG whil receiving the LTVP card. This was because I didnt exit SG assuming that LTVP has arrived. Apparently with LTVP IPA you need to show that you 'entered' SG. to validate the IPA.91stars wrote:Thanks for posting this message. I was wondering if you got the LTVP?

Re: LTVP for Institute of Higher Learning graduates
That's great you got the LTVP and sorry to hear about the fine you had to pay, that's such a tricky one to be aware about. Also, is your LTVP for 1 year? All the best with job hunt!

Re: LTVP for Institute of Higher Learning graduates
Hi now I am facing the similar situation. I graduated from NUS in 2017 and worked in SG since then. Currently I am holding EP and wanna resign to find a new job. May I know if I can apply LTVP before EP cancellation? Or do I have to wait for EP cancellation first? My concern is STVP only valid for 30 days but LTVP processing time can be up to 6 weeks. Thank you in advance if can answer my questions. Good day!
Re: LTVP for Institute of Higher Learning graduates
If you have a higher degree from SG univ, you can apply for the LTVP while you are on your 30-day STVP. It is tricky. Apply for LTVP around Day #10 of STVP. LTVP should come soon. If it doesnt, call the ICA by Day #25 and they will help extend your STVP by another 30 days until LTVP arrivesGaryHan416 wrote:Hi now I am facing the similar situation.

Re: LTVP for Institute of Higher Learning graduates
Hello
, How many times can the institute of higher learning students apply LTVP? Can it be applied only within 3 years after graduated or any time after graduated ? Thanks in advance

Only once. Once you go into a EP from LTVP, you cant get another LTVP later using the IHL education.

Re: LTVP for Institute of Higher Learning graduates
Can anyone confirm if we can apply for LTVP even after 3 years from graduation?
