My two kids, both in Singapore, are currently on LTVPs that expire July 28 and as luck would have it, due to work, the earliest I can get back to Singapore is July 29. We have received IPAs for their new LTVPs but was advised to switch them to STVPs first then back to the new LTVPs when I am back in town. Was told that LTVP formalities cannot be completed without the sponsor being present in person. Is there a way to avoid moving to STVPs then switching to the new LTVPs a day later and save the wife (also on LTVP) the hassle of having to go to ICA twice?
Thanks.
