1. is there a problem with my application as i only have 7days validity of visa from the date of my application to final date to leave?..because i just read in forum that must be 10days or more validity

2. tru our online application they didnt ask for some documents..when we need to submit our documents?

hoping u can give some advice guys..thank u in advance

1. Should be no problem - in fact you can apply for an LTVP while abroad and having no SVP at all.
2. They will send you a letter asking for those documents. Make sure they have the correct postal address (of your husband) and he checks the mailbox daily.

err... for online submission you can't apply without DE card no, you are wrong ...

exactly. Your online application is linked to your DE card. Additionally, you need to submit those documents in person. They ask for a photocopy of your passport and expect to see the original in person so you definitely need to be present.

and this was hashed and re-hashed many times over. ..

when you go online, no DE Card, you cannot proceed. You can try to work the system by keying in an old DE card, but when you query status etc, it will say "APPLICATION NOT FOUND" ..

For over the counter, they still ask for the DE Card, though I don't know if they will take a don't-have for an answer

PS: ICA don't like submissions over the counter, unless you have a pressing need to do it .. like being asked by ICA to do so .. that's what I know ..

whoops, let me clarify jic since I posted a little hastily. I meant you need to be in person to submit the documents the OP asked about in question 2, as in the ones ICA asks to see in the IPA letter. I was just adding that to the discussion that you should not be out of the country during this process. I agree that they want you to apply online.
