Rookies need help-ltsvp and in principal

[kentyu]

1.I have got the epec.Do I need to be present in Singpapore to apply for the long term social visit pass?
If yes,I would have to be there with a entry visa ,right?
And how long would it take to for the procedure of the ltsvp?

2.Besides I notice there is a "in principal approval".I don't know what that is.
Does it mean I don't need the entry visa to be in Singapore?
Can I apply for the in principal approval with epec?
What are the formilities?

3.if the epec is expired, can it be extented?

Thank you for all the help!

Actully I am confused.
As I check the informations on the website:

You don't need to be in Singapore. But I check some of the threads here.The answer is you have to be In Singapore.

Actully I have submitted the application of ltsvp on line.And after that I realized that I may need to be there.
But as I suceeded to submit the application then there is no point for me to be there just wait.So I am confused.

Thank you , sunday.

But I am still confused.

Because I have succeeded to submitted the application via the online e-vp.The step-by-step didn't ask me for the FORM14 or the photoes or the disembarktion/embarktion card.

It just ask me to fill in some personal information including the address in Singapore and the epec number, etc.Do I need to be there to apply for it mannully and submit the materials?

Sorry I am really a rookie about all these.It would be really kind of you guys to help.

The in-principle approval just means that you have been "awarded" the pass, and if you complete the formalities (medical check and so), you will get the proper pass
