Hi all sharing the new process of completion formalities under the new system.
Applied ltvp on Jan 2 2025
Ltvp approved Mar 5 2025
Upon approval, was asked 3 things via MyICA website.
1.to agree to terms and conditions
2.to do medical examination and upload the medical result
3.to upload passport if there's any change of passport from date of application
All communications and uploading of documents is via the ICA website. They will notify you via email for updates only and will ask you to log in to myICA page to complete action.
I uploaded my medical report on the 2nd week of March. We were advised to wait within 10 days for the next step.
After 8 days, was advised to make payment online. As soon as we paid, we received an appointment letter/IPA to complete formalities at ICA bldg on May 8 2025.
So I need to wait for another month and a half for the formalities.
Please note that the date was given by ICA and its automatically given upon payment. Unlike previously, you can choose date and book appointment to complete the formalities.
Another thing to highlight is that the IPA letter states that I can only reschedule or change to another date within 3 months from May 8. Cannot change backwards or at an earlier date.
To check whether its true or not, we tried to reschedule to an earlier slot using the link on the IPA letter and true enough, March and April calendar are unavailable and that we were only given option to reschedule or change from the date given. In my case, May 8 onwards..
The appointment letter/IPA is simple and straightforward. It stated that its valid until May 8 and it includes a pre-approved visa for entry in Singapore and that the it will be canceled if I am unable to complete the formalities on May 8 or if I didn't abide to Singapore laws within this period.
Also, no need to bring a lot of documents. Just bring appointment letter, passport and workpass or visit pass if theres any.
The appointment letter also stated not to wear colored or cosmetics lenses. Probably for photo taking.
Hope this helps
Love
Pambuk
