Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP) Eligibility Criteria

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.

Financial Support by Primary Pass Holder

The primary pass holder must show the ability to financially support dependents, with proof of income (e.g., pay slips or bank records). The salary requirement is higher for parents than for spouses or children.
