Long-Term Visit Pass Application Help for Families in Singapore

A long-term visit pass application helps certain family members of eligible work pass holders stay in Singapore legally when they do not qualify for a Dependant's Pass.

In many MOM cases, this includes a common-law spouse, a step child, an unmarried handicapped child aged 21 and above, or parents when the main pass holder meets the higher salary requirement.

For ICA routes, the long-term visit pass may also apply to a spouse of a Singapore citizen or PR, certain parents, or other approved family situations.

At P Connect Services, we help you understand which route fits your family, prepare the right documents, and reduce avoidable delays.

If you are trying to apply for a long-term visit pass in Singapore for a spouse, child, or parent, we explain the application process in plain language so you know what to expect before you proceed.

Our service is designed for employers, pass holders, and families who want clarity without guesswork. Business details, service positioning, pricing approach, free self-assessment test, and contact information are based on your brief.

Common Long-Term Visit Pass Issues We Solve in Singapore

1. You are not sure whether you need an LTVP or a Dependant's Pass

Many families assume every spouse or child should go under a dependant's pass application, but that is not always correct. A legally married spouse and qualifying children may qualify for a Dependant’s Pass, while a common-law spouse, step child, or parent may need a long-term visit pass instead.

Using the wrong pass type can slow things down or increase the risk of rejection. MOM clearly separates these family pass categories for eligible Employment Pass and S Pass families.

We review your family profile, the status of the main work pass, and the relationship category before submission. That helps you avoid choosing the wrong route and gives you a cleaner, more defensible application from the start.

2. You do not know whether the salary requirement is met

A common issue is confusion around the minimum fixed monthly salary. For EP or S Pass holders applying for an LTVP for certain family members, MOM states a minimum fixed monthly salary of $6,000 is required, and parents are only eligible where the holder earns at least a $12,000 fixed monthly salary. Combined household income is not the test MOM uses here.

We help you check whether the pass holder meets the threshold, whether the employer sponsorship is suitable, and whether your case is strong enough to proceed now or should be timed more carefully.

3. Your documents are incomplete or do not match the relationship type

Different family relationships require different supporting records. A common-law spouse may need a common-law marriage certificate, a notarised affidavit, or a letter from the embassy.

A step child may require custody records and a letter of no objection from the other biological parent. Parents typically need proof of relationship to the work pass holder.

We map your document list to the applicant's exact category, help you spot missing items early, and reduce the risk of delays caused by incomplete paperwork or inconsistent supporting evidence.

4. You are unsure whether MOM or ICA should handle the application

Not every long-term visit pass in Singapore is issued by the same authority. For family members of eligible Employment Pass or S Pass holders, the Ministry of Manpower is the relevant authority.

But if the sponsor is a Singapore citizen or PR, many LTVP routes are handled by the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority instead.

We help you identify the correct channel before preparing any application form, so you do not waste time following the wrong process.

Our Long-Term Visit Pass Process in Singapore

1. Eligibility Review and Route Matching

We begin by checking whether your case should go through MOM or ICA. This matters because the long-term visit pass application process depends on the sponsor and the applicant's relationship to the sponsor.

If the main holder holds an Employment Pass or S Pass, the case may fall under MOM rules. If the sponsor is a Singapore citizen or permanent resident, ICA may be the correct route instead.

We also review whether the family member may actually be eligible for a dependant's pass rather than an LTVP. This early step helps prevent errors before filing and makes the rest of the application much smoother.

2. Document Preparation and Application Form Support

A strong LTVP application often depends on the quality of the documents. We help you organise the passport copy, relationship documents, supporting letter where needed, and any category-specific records for a common law spouse, child, step child, or parent.

In some cases, MOM requires additional evidence, such as an affidavit, an embassy letter, custody documents, or medical evidence.

We do not just hand you a checklist. We help you understand why each document matters and whether it matches the relationship claimed in the application.

3. Submission Guidance for Employer

For dependants of EP or S Pass holders, MOM states that the employer or an appointed employment agent applies on the candidate's behalf.

The application can be submitted together with the main pass application or later as a separate filing for each family member. MOM also states that EP and S Pass family LTVP applications are usually processed within 3 weeks.

P Connect Services helps coordinate this stage so the employer, employment agent, and family know what needs to happen and in what order.

4. Post-Approval Steps and Practical Follow-Through

After approval, there may be an In-Principle Approval letter, pass issuance steps, a notification letter, and digital pass set-up, depending on the case route.

MOM also notes that if a family member is already in Singapore on a short visit pass that expires before the LTVP is issued, MOM will not extend that visit pass simply because the LTVP application is pending.

That is why timing matters. We guide you on when to apply, when to plan travel, and what to expect as the next steps after approval, so your family can stay in Singapore for the intended long-term purpose with fewer surprises.

Immigration rules can feel technical, especially when you are comparing an LTVP, a dependant's pass, and other family pass application options. We explain each step in a practical way so you can make informed decisions.

3. Built For Employers and Families

Some cases involve the employer, some require a sponsor, and some depend on whether the main holder holds an Employment Pass (EP) or an S Pass. We help both businesses and families stay aligned throughout the process.

4. Free One-Time Appeal If Valid

Where appropriate and valid, we provide a free one-time appeal as stated in your service brief. That gives clients an extra layer of support when a case deserves further review.

5. Free Self-Assessment Test

Not every case should proceed immediately. Our free self-assessment test helps you decide whether you are ready to apply for an LTVP now or whether some gaps should be addressed first.

Pricing and Estimate Information

Our long-term visit pass application service is priced on a case-by-case basis because no two family situations are exactly the same.

The final scope can depend on whether the case goes through MOM or ICA, whether the relationship is straightforward or needs extra supporting evidence, and whether the applicant is a common law spouse, a step child, a parent, or another qualifying family member.

Business pricing model and offer details come from your brief.

For the official government portion, MOM currently lists $105 when you submit the application and $225 when the pass is issued, plus $30 for a Multiple Journey Visa, if applicable, for EP and S Pass family LTVP cases.

When you contact P Connect Services, we can review your profile, explain what affects complexity, and tell you what documents are likely needed before you proceed.

FAQs

What is a long-term visit pass application in Singapore?

A long-term visit pass application is the process for requesting permission for certain family members to stay in Singapore for an extended period. Under MOM, this usually covers eligible family members of an Employment Pass or S Pass holder who do not fall under the Dependant’s Pass route, such as a common law spouse, step child, unmarried handicapped child aged 21 and above, or parents where the salary requirement is met. ICA operates separate LTVP routes for family members of Singapore citizens or PRs.

Who can apply for a long-term visit pass in Singapore?

For dependants of EP or S Pass holders, MOM states that the employer or an appointed employment agent files the application on the candidate's behalf. For some ICA cases, the sponsor may be a Singapore citizen or PR who uses ICA’s e-Service with SingPass. This is why identifying the correct route early is important.

What family members qualify for a long-term visit pass?

For eligible EP or S Pass families, MOM says qualifying family members may include a common law spouse, an unmarried handicapped child aged 21 and above, an unmarried step children under 21, and parents where the main pass holder earns at least a $12,000 fixed monthly salary. If you are legally married or have qualifying young children, a Dependant’s Pass may be more suitable.

What is the difference between a Dependant’s Pass and an LTVP?

A Dependant’s Pass is generally for a legally married spouse and eligible unmarried children of qualifying Employment Pass or S Pass holders. The Long Term Visit Pass is used for certain family members who fall outside that category, such as a common law spouse or step child. Choosing the correct pass type matters because the eligibility rules and supporting documents differ.

What is the minimum fixed monthly salary for an LTVP?

MOM states that for eligible Employment Pass or S Pass family LTVP cases, the main holder must earn a minimum fixed monthly salary of $6,000. For parents, the threshold is at least a fixed monthly salary of $12,000. MOM also specifies that the test is based on the holder’s salary, not combined household income.

How much does a long-term visit pass application cost in Singapore?

For EP and S Pass dependant LTVP cases, MOM currently lists a government fee of $105 when you submit the application and $225 when the pass is issued, plus $30 for a Multiple Journey Visa if applicable. Service fees with P Connect Services are separate and handled on a case-by-case basis, reflecting the complexity of your file.

How long does the LTVP application process take?

MOM states that for dependants of EP and S Pass holders, most LTVP applications are processed within 3 weeks, although some cases take longer. ICA timelines vary by route; for example, ICA notes a shorter 6-week processing timeline for certain spouse-of-citizen cases that completed the Pre-Marriage LTVP Assessment before marriage, compared with the usual longer processing period.

Can a common law spouse apply for an LTVP in Singapore?

Yes, a common-law spouse may be eligible under MOM’s LTVP route for certain Employment Pass or S Pass families. However, the case usually requires stronger documentary support than that of a legally married spouse. MOM lists possible evidence such as a common-law marriage certificate, notarised affidavit, or a letter from the embassy acknowledging the relationship.

Can parents of EP or S Pass holders apply for an LTVP?

Yes, but only if the main EP or S Pass holder earns at least a $12,000 fixed monthly salary according to MOM’s current rules. This is one of the most commonly misunderstood parts of the LTVP framework, so it is important to assess salary and relationship evidence carefully before applying.

Can an LTVP holder work in Singapore?

For a Ministry of Manpower-issued LTVP, MOM states that the holder must first have a job offer and then must have a prospective employer apply for the appropriate work pass, such as an Employment Pass, S Pass, or Work Permit, subject to the pass's criteria.
