Thank you Wd40, indeed my bro-in-law is very surprised about this, as few years ago when he asked at ICA if he can apply PR for his wife & sons, the officer told him that such application is only applicable if the husband is a Singapore Citizen and not a SPR.Wd40 wrote:I think the OP's question is different. He is saying, they are surprised that a new born child of PR parents and child born in SG, can directly apply for PR without going through the LTSVP.
If this is really a shortcut aka no Q required for appointment, then this saves a lot of time especially when the main intention is to apply PR for the child. We hope that at the same time, we can also submit PR application for his wife & 3rd-born son together with the 4th-born newborn, as a whole family.Wd40 wrote:This is the short cut method of applying PR that I was talking about. There is no information anywhere, you get to know about it only when you go to ica. MS also has mentioned about this.
Hi,sundaymorningstaple wrote:It's he same 42 grace period given to a child of a Singaporean born abroad as well. I would guess the Government is saying there should be no reason for not registering the child within that time frame unless you have some ulterior motive for not taking up PR or citizenship, especially if it happens to be a male child. After that point, the citizen has to write in with explanations why late and the PR just get screwed like the parents might have been thinking to screw the gahment? At least that's the way I read the 42 day thingy. If you think about it, it makes sense.
If the contents of the letter is correct as posted, then there is still no shortcut to PR for the children. It seems to be advising you that IF you want to apply for PR for the child, it must be done prior to the 42 days special pass expires for a newborn. that way, if necessary, arrangement for a special extension until such time as you receive your travel documents are all in order, etc.. I see nothing contained therein that suggests that there is any shortcut to PR. But I do see the hazard of NOT applying for PR within the 42 days, else they wouldn't have gone to the trouble of including it in the letter.lclmum wrote:If this is really a shortcut aka no Q required for appointment, then this saves a lot of time especially when the main intention is to apply PR for the child.

I am bit lost. What is surprising in it? We applied first for PR for our kid and upon application the receiving desk clerk advised us to apply also for LTVP in the meantime purely for the reason of PR application taking typically 4-6 months (at that time). In other words our son never held LTVP before applying for PR.Wd40 wrote:I think the OP's question is different.
