Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP) Eligibility Criteria

Relationship to the Primary Pass Holder

The applicant must be a spouse, unmarried child (under 21 years old), or other dependents (such as parents) of the primary pass holder (who holds an Employment Pass (EP), S Pass, or Work Permit). The relationship must be legally documented (e.g., marriage certificate, birth certificate).

Financial Support by Primary Pass Holder

The primary pass holder must demonstrate the ability to financially support the dependent(s) during their stay in Singapore. This may include providing evidence of income (e.g., salary slips, bank statements). For parents, the work pass holder’s minimum salary requirement is typically higher than for spouses or children.

Minimum Income Requirement

The primary pass holder (the sponsor) must meet a minimum income requirement, which varies depending on the applicant's relationship and other factors. For example, a monthly salary of around SGD 5,000 to 6,000 is typically required to sponsor parents, while sponsoring a spouse or child might have a lower threshold.

Valid Pass Holder Status

The primary pass holder must have a valid work pass in Singapore, such as an Employment Pass (EP), S Pass, or Work Permit. The primary pass holder’s pass must be active and meet the specific conditions for sponsorship.

Proof of Dependency or Relationship

The applicant must provide documentation to prove the relationship or dependency on the primary pass holder. For example: Marriage certificate for spouses. Birth certificate for children. Adoption papers for adopted children. In some cases, additional documents may be required to prove the dependency, particularly for parents.

Health Requirements

LTVP applicants may be required to meet certain health requirements, including undergoing medical checks or having health insurance. This is particularly applicable for parents or other elderly dependents to ensure they have adequate medical coverage during their stay in Singapore.

Monitor the Status and Await Approval

Yobbi will help to complete the online application form via the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) portal. Processing time typically takes 2-4 weeks, but this can vary depending on the complexity of the application and whether additional documents are required.

  • After submitting the application, Yobbi will track the status of your DP application on your behalf.
  • Respond to MOM Requests: If MOM requires additional documents or clarifications, Yobbi will assist you in providing the necessary information.
  • Check for Updates: Yobbi will track any status changes, such as requests for more documents or a final decision.

While you’re waiting for approval, there are no additional documents to submit unless requested by MOM. However, keep the following documents ready:

  • A copy of the confirmation receipt or email from MOM confirming that your DP application has been successfully submitted. You should have received this when you completed Step 1 (Prepare & Submit).
  • If MOM requests further documentation, you’ll need to provide any additional supporting documents. For example: Updated employment details (if employment status changes). Translated or notarized copies of documents if any are missing. Clarification on vaccination records if discrepancies are found.
  • Be patient, as the processing time may vary depending on your case.
  • Ensure your contact details (email/phone) are correct to avoid missing any updates.
  • Rejection Risks: Applications can be rejected if documents are incomplete, inaccurate, or if vaccination records don’t meet Singapore's standards.
  • Yobbi will ensure that you are updated on the status of your application and provide assistance if additional information is required by MOM.

Receive and Review the Approval

Once the DP application is approved, you will receive an official notification from MOM through the portal or by email, and the Dependent Pass will be issued for your family member(s). Processing time is usually on the same day to 1 week.

  • Yobbi will inform you of the outcome and you need to carefully check all details in the approval letter (including the name, dates, and validity) to ensure accuracy.
  • If there are any discrepancies or errors, immediately contact MOM to rectify them or contact Yobbi for assitance.
  • If approved, Yobbi will assist you with ensuring the applicant collects the Dependant Pass. If rejected, Yobbi will help you understand the rejection reasons and, if applicable, guide you through re-application or appeal.
  • Approval Notification (email or letter): Ensure you have received and reviewed the official DP approval notification.
  • Keep the previously submitted documents from Step 1 handy, in case you need to clarify any discrepancies. Such as: passport of the dependent, birth certificates or marriage certificates (as applicable), vaccination records (if applicable)
  • Check for Accuracy: Always verify the information in the approval letter and reach out to MOM for corrections if necessary.
  • Timeline for Corrections: If there is an issue, MOM will usually address it quickly, but it's best to notify them within a few days of receiving the approval.
  • Prepare for Collection: Once the DP is approved, you will be preparing to collect the physical DP card in Step 4.
  • Yobbi will ensure that you are notified promptly of the approval and guide you through the next steps for collecting your DP status.

Collect the Dependent Pass

After receiving the approval, the DP can be collected either by self-collection at the MOM or through an authorized representative.

  • If the DP is approved, the applicant will need to collect the Dependant Pass in Singapore. Yobbi will guide the applicant through the collection process.
  • Collect DP Card: After verification, collect your Dependant Pass (DP Card) according to the date of your appointment.
  • Depending on your location, you may also receive a notification for collection from the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA).
  • Approval Letter/Notification: Bring a printed or digital copy of the approval letter or the notification from MOM or ICA that confirms your Dependent Pass approval.
  • Valid Passport of the Dependent: The dependent must present their original passport (the one used for the application) to collect the DP.
  • Receipt or Collection Acknowledgment: If you received a collection acknowledgment or confirmation receipt from MOM/ICA (either online or at the time of submission), you should bring that along as proof of your DP approval.
  • Employer’s Letter (if applicable): In some cases, if you are collecting the DP through an authorized representative (such as your employer or employment agent), you may need a letter of authorization from the employer or agent.
  • Ensure Compliance with Conditions: Review the conditions stated on the DP (e.g., employment rights, duration of stay, etc.).
  • Plan for Renewal: The DP is typically valid for the same duration as the primary work pass (EP, S Pass, etc.), so be sure to apply for a renewal at least 6 months before expiry to avoid disruptions.
  • Yobbi will ensure that you have all the necessary documents prepared for your MOM appointment and assist in collecting your DP card.

Frequently Asked Questions

Spouses, unmarried children under 21 years old, and other eligible dependents of foreign workers holding a valid Employment Pass (EP), S Pass, or Work Permit are eligible for the LTVP. In some cases, other family members may also qualify under specific circumstances.

Yes, you can apply for the LTVP from outside Singapore, especially if the applicant is not yet in Singapore. However, the applicant must be eligible based on the relationship to the primary pass holder.

LTVP holders cannot work in Singapore unless they apply for a separate work pass. For example, they may be eligible to apply for a Letter of Consent (LOC) or other relevant work passes depending on their employment status.

No, the LTVP itself cannot be converted to an Employment Pass (EP). However, if you want to work in Singapore, you must apply for a relevant work pass, such as an Employment Pass (EP) or S Pass, based on your qualifications and job offer.

LTVP holders can attend school in Singapore, but they may need to apply for a Student Pass if they intend to pursue full-time education. In some cases, the primary work pass holder may also need to prove financial support for the dependent’s education.

The LTVP is generally valid for 1 to 2 years, depending on the applicant’s relationship with the primary work pass holder and the applicant’s eligibility. It can be renewed, but the primary pass holder must still meet the required conditions.
