How long is the LTVP for parent-in-law?

My husband holds P1 work pass. We applied LTVP for my mother and got it.
She is in Singapore now and we went to MOM collecting her LTVP today, and found the visa is available in just 6 months. After 6 months, we should have to prolong it for her.
They said it is the rule. But I cann't find it from their website.

Do you know something about it?
Thanks!

Yep. I do. It's the rule. It came from MOM's mouth. What more do you need? When it's a month away from expiring it's time to renew it. When is your husband's P1 EP due to be renewed? 6 months? If so there's the reason. Otherwise, they can give only 3 months and you have to renew it every 3 months (see ICA's site for their LTSVP's).

sundaymorningstaple,
Thanks!

So do you know how many times the LTVP can be renewed?
If my mother want to live with us for long time, should we renew the visa every 6 months for her?

The LTVP application form lists permissible duration of application as between 1 month and 60 months. Commonsense dictates that the LTVP would be in line with the duration of the EP. In this case I suspect your husband's EP is valid only for 6 months, hence...

I am a PR. My parents got 5 years LTVP.

The wonders of the ICA, you just don't know. If you look at the ICA website they don't tell you the lenght of most visas.

What I've learnt over the years of coming to Singapore and Visa etc, is be up front and truthful with the ICA and go to the ICA office and speak to an officer. They might be grumpy as hell and will take ages but they are quite helpful if you are upfront with them.

Saint, very true. Remember that they used to say a re-entry permit could only be gotten for 5 years even though the form said 5 or 10 years? I just asked for 10 years and they gave it to me. Full Stop. Had a nice conversation with the officer as well. Also found out that if you are a PR and are over 50, you no longer need a "job" to renew the re-entry permit. (The operative words here is "renew" not new application.

Bearangela, I've been here over 26 years and I'm still learning as the Government has a tendency to never remain static here. If they do, they will become the backwater that they were in the 60's when I visited here the 1st time while on R&R from the NAM.
