LTSVP or DP for my father
LTSVP or DP for my father
dear all,
I am an Indian with EP-P2(valid for the next 2 yrs). i am planning to bring my dad here in Singapore for the next 1 year.
I know as per mom, LTSVP is the option. But my friends say that I can also apply for DP or PEP. I am confused. Any suggestions??
I heard that LTSVP is really hard to get. Any comments??
thanks, dave

Re: LTSVP or DP for my father
You cant apply for PEP or DP for your father. You can only apply for an LTSVP.dave1981 wrote:dear all,

Re: LTSVP or DP for my father
Technically, your friends are right. Your dad can get a DP or PEP but for that please have a look at the requirements for those passes.dave1981 wrote:dear all,

Pretty far-fetched and not likely to happen I'd imagine, but technically possible
Re: LTSVP or DP for my father
Or his grand dad or grand mom got an EP even more far fetched, but technically possibleJayCee wrote:If his mum got an EP and his dad moved over with her on a DP?singaporeflyer wrote:Can you please tell me how can his dad get DP?revhappy wrote: Technically, your friends are right.

EDIT: Ooops! I forget DP is given to children aged below 18? My bad

People are here to get help from the forum, however, reply from some members of the forum (i.e. revhappy, Jaylee etc.) do not appear to be really helpful!!! No offence plz, just my personal view.dave1981 wrote:Thanks guys. I shall make the docs ready and contact mom.
@Strong Eagle: I definitely believe mom.
@singaporeflyer: Thanks. That's what I thought. I will be in touch with mom.
@revhappy, JayCee: Oh buoy! I haven't yet explored these ways.
How about applying epec?
Nobody knows about future!

Re: LTSVP or DP for my father
The most obvious question and alarm bells that will be set off at the ICA is why do you want to just bring your father only in the first place? Are you married and have children? If not the ICA will just come to the conclusion that he'll be coming here to look for work and probably illegally.dave1981 wrote:dear all,
