Peculiar PR dilemma....

[Shashidhar]

Hi,

I am bogged down with an issue related to repercussions of taking up Singapore PR. I am presently on P2 Employment Pass staying with my mother on LTSVP.

I am somehow keen on taking up Singapore PR shortly. However I am worried about my mother's ability to continue to stay with me after I take up PR. Upon enquiring with ICA, they say that my mother's LTSVP will need to be terminated soon after I take up PR and a new SVP once obtained will enable her to stay for about 3 months. Ministry of Manpower(MOM) on the other hand rules out any role that it can play once after a person has become a PR.

I am now left wondering as to how my mother can continue to stay with me should I take up Singapore PR.

Kindly let me know if anybody else has been through this kind of experience before ??

Regards,
Shashi.

Guess there is some variance of information that i have heard. first P1 and P2 privilges are equal to PR and normally the LTSVP (6months or 1year) was given only to citizen and PR holders, which had been later extended to P1/P2 pass holders too.

So my advice would be better get down to ICA directly and enquire about it.

Hmm, I think you have nothing to worry about. I would have thought it's easier for PRs to sponsor parents over?

any other experiences similar to the above - i had the same issue and assumed getting a LTSVP for my parent with ICA again would not be an issue and now it is not approved at ICA though i had a LTSVP with MOM

I wouldn't worry about it, once you get your PR..the rest is a formality, 3 or 6 months, doesn't really make a difference, its just a hassle one can do without, But I believe when I asked about the LTSVP the maxium was 6 months only.

Although you maybe eligible for PR for your direct dependants, this you will have to check, with ICA!

its not so straightforward as a formality once u become a pr. the irony is that with mom its easy getting LTSVP and once u become PR at ICA they reject the LTSVP - that way its very confusing to go for or not for PR
