Personally I find the whole visa / pass situation extremely unfair and biased now. It's clearly stressed and under a lot of different tensions in different directions.

The reasons are clear and understandable but then this kind of approach favours people with less respect to their parents or for the other case, those who have not too much scruples giving up their original citizenship probably translating to be less loyal.

I think if they had their way, they would have allowed the parents to come to SG as well, like they did earlier.x9200 wrote:I am curious how they assess the long term collateral damage for this kind of approach here, but also in some other cases like no double citizenship allowed.

But ever since the locals started crying father crying mother about the crowding in MRTs, I guess some scholar in the ministry got this idea of minimizing the negative impact by reducing the collateral damage first before reducing the actual FTs

Long term vs short term I guess. How about LTVP+ ?offshoreoildude wrote:Personally I find the whole visa / pass situation extremely unfair and biased now.

Well, I know people, who are SC, who's children were born while the mother was in SVP - well, the children are SC and the mothers were until recently on SVP = higher medical fee, no medical insurance et al ...offshoreoildude wrote:Personally I find the whole visa / pass situation extremely unfair and biased now.

Only recently one guy's wife got a 12 months LTVP and another - whose child is two years old, a 6 months LTVP - the father's mistake was being a taxi driver -> no CPF / Fixed income = not favourable in ICA's eyes, is the conclusion ..
And even for SCs, LTVP + is not a given ..Wd40 wrote:AFAIK LTVP+ is only for SC spouse and OSOD is PR
