unmarried couple expecting baby
unmarried couple expecting baby
Hi,
I am UK citizen and I work for a Singaporean company (0ffshore) and will move to the office next month. I will get a work pass (P1).
My finace is Thai and we've been together for over 3 years. We are expecting our first baby this December.
Based on the above info. I would like to know if it is possible for her to come with me to Singapore for the baby to be born. Will she need a certain visa to enter given that she's pregnant ?
cheers,
JP

OP,
YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND ON BOLDING AND UNBOLDING . MAKING LARGE FONT CAN BE SEEN AS AGGRESSIVE IN NATURE
Now for your question
1. You need to proof to MOM that your partner is living with you for certain period of time. Proof of utility bills , banking under both names etc
2. Common Law marriage or de facto partner can apply for Dependent Pass under certain condition
Spouse and unmarried children below 21 years age (including legally adopted) of work visa holders (Employment Pass, EntrePass, PEP, or S pass holders) are eligible to apply for Dependent Pass visa. If an Employment Pass holder’s baby is born in Singapore, the parent will receive a letter from the hospital. This letter should be submitted to the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority, which will issue the baby with a Social Visit Pass valid for 42 days. Within this time, the Employment Pass holder must apply for the baby’s Dependant’s Pass.
While the Fiancée of an Employment Pass holder is not eligible to apply for a Dependant Pass, the Fiancée is usually eligible to apply for a Long-Term Social Visit Pass (LTSVP) subject to certain conditions.

Getting married just before coming to Singapore, especially to an Asian, would set off so many alarm bells at the ICA that they probably would grant LTSVP, marriage of convenience and all that.scarbowl wrote:Maybe it's time to make an honest woman out of her? Wouldn't that make it simpler to get a MOM pass?
MS has given the best advice and what I would have recommended.
Just out of interest, where are you both currently living when you are onshore?

Sorry, absolutely no agression intended by use of large font.
Thanks for your advice. I will look into it.
Whilst onshore I have spent about half time in Thailand and half at home in UK. Last year we succesfully appied for a 6 month UK visit visa which she used to visit UK. This involved a lot of documentation being submitted to prove we have actually met and are a couple, etc.
But proving we have been living together might be a bit more tricky. We share the rent on a house in BKK but this is all payed by cash. We have no joint utility bills or bank accounts.
I have no issue with the baby being born in BKK as the hospitals there are very good. But being apart would not work. Marriage is an option but would not want to rush that, and as stated it may well ring alarm bells with ICA.
Thanks,
JP

Marriage of convenience is a big thing in SG just be aware. As long as you are on P1 and getting her DP, go to the embassy to certify that you are living together over a certain period. Be prepared to proof that you are able to sustain her in SG and the child. Best to get child UK PPear8jp wrote:Sorry, absolutely no agression intended by use of large font.
