My friend, a China nationality, wants to come to sg after retirement.
He does not have a spouse with employment pass or citizenship. So he is considering a LTVP that requires
property and savings in SG. The ica website says the property needs to be worth 500k and savings at least 400k.
Does anyone in the forum apply for this kind of LTVP before? Or anyone heard of the success rate nowadays for cases like my friend?
Thanks a advance

Actually this is precursor to PR or SC.
The more dough you have the brighter the red carpet for you
Yes, most whom applied this will get LTVP
Please remember you pay full medical fees here. No subsidies in all areas
Your dough must stay in the oven and must be more than $400K.
It cannot be transferred out back to China once approve
Proof of ownership of dough from China to SG must be clean not dodgy

Thanks a LOT
You heard of any such application that failed and why they did?
Think it would be very helpful to learn from mistakes

If the application is above board and straight, rather than trying to con the Singapore government, then you should have nothing to worry about. It's not a test, so there is no such think a mistakes. You either are qualified or your are not.

Suggest you get PMLA done first and see the outcome. When you apply with PMLA, you will most likely get LTVP.

No one knows. Long processing time does not guarantee approval either. There are people who wait more than 2 years and still get rejected.
