Thank you for the response. Could I ask what ICA means?ksl wrote:You should give ICA a ring, i'm pretty sure you can both get LTVSP, though you cannot work on the visa and you will have to prove you can manage financially!
Wife can look for work after the first year the kids are in school

I have looked on various visa websites and everything regarding parents staying with children says mother or grandmother only.
Thanks for that. The portion below from that website does seem to confirm that it is only for the mother or grandmother and not the father which seems a little strange but I'll give them a call anyway:Saint wrote:http://www.ica.gov.sg/index.aspxPhuketBlue wrote:Thank you for the response.

Yes that's quite true, though my thoughts would be, that the majority of fathers are normally at work, and wouldn't be expected to accompany the children, hence the reason to ring! Good Luckonly for the mother or grandmother and not the father which seems a little strange but I'll give them a call anyway:
I spoke to the ICA and unfortunately that visa/pass only applies to females. So it looks like I'll have to enroll in a mandarin language class or something to get an education visa myself.ksl wrote:Yes that's quite true, though my thoughts would be, that the majority of fathers are normally at work, and wouldn't be expected to accompany the children, hence the reason to ring!

I do know 2 mainland Chinese without education, that also came through that route, to educate their child, they eventually started their own business here the daughter is PR now, but the parents are not.
Forget the International School it will cost you an arm and a leg, the Chinese go through agents to get their children student visa in the local school.
ICA are quite helpful if you tell them the circumstance, though you cannot both work on LTSVP, only one of you as far as i know, the other will have to apply for work permit
