LTVP, The full name is Long Term Visit Pass, which is a long-term visit pass issued by the Singapore for individuals who need to stay in Singapore for extended periods of time due to family visits, career development, employment, or accompanying studies. The pass holder can reside in Singapore for an indefinite period of time.

Spouses of Singaporean citizens can also apply for LTVP+. What is the difference between these two? Let's talk in detail today.


The Term of LTVP VS. LTVP+

The term of LTVP varies from 6 months to 5 years. It should be noted that the validity period of LTVP applied to the MOM is linked to the validity period of the EP/SP.

The term of LTVP+ is initially three years, and each subsequent renewal can reach a maximum of five years.


Medical and Employment Subsidies

LTVP does not enjoy medical and employment subsidies, while LTVP+ enjoys medical and employment subsidies, which are basically the same as PR.


Work

Holding an LTVP itself cannot directly work in Singapore and requires obtaining a legal work pass.

Holders of LTVP+ can directly apply for LOC to work without a work pass.

But it should be noted that! PR spouses and SC spouses, whether holding LTVP or LTVP+, can directly apply for LOC work.


Can LTVP be replaced with LTVP+?

1) At present, those who have LTVP can wait until the renewal of their license, and the authorities will automatically consider whether they can upgrade to LTVP+.

2) Those who currently hold an LTVP can reapply immediately.

3) Local citizens or spouses of PRs can apply for LTVP and LTVP+ through the same process, and those who meet the criteria will automatically receive LTVP+.
