PR married to foreign spouses

Post by astone » Sun, 18 Mar 2012 10:28 am

This is a great forum, lots of info but it's quite difficult to search for answer so I decided to post

I am a PR and got married a year or so ago. Wife is currently on a Social Visit Pass (1 year). Is that the correct pass ? I heard some wives have dependents passes even though their husbands are on PRs?

Also if my wife decides to work, I assume she would have to turn in the social visit pass and get either a DP or EP ?

Any help would be appreciated

Do you mean LTVP for 1 yr? I could be wrong but i didn't think SVPs were given for more than 90 days.

Yes, if she wants to work she'll need an EP, or if she has a DP, she can request a "Letter of Consent" from MOM.

DP only for EP holders .

Thanks. She has an 1 year social visit pass. If she wants to work i guess she would have to hand that in and have the company then apply for an EP for her ?

No, she would have the company apply for the EP first. Upon approval at the time of collection, her SVP would be canceled and the EP issued.

I find it hard to believe such a thing exists (one year and 'Social Visit' don't exactly fit together do they!). Odds are she in on an LTVP.

Is she remains on the LTVP at renewal time they will consider her for the new LTVP+

LTVP+is only eligible for singaporean spouse, not pr spouse.
