You can always apply the LTSVP and SPR concurrently. The waiting time of SPR application is abt 9 mths.

Bro .. I can understand ... I have 2 Gals from previous marriage, 9 & 12, the current marriage 1 is going thru' that cycle again... I can understand what you are going thru'.

Yes, NO amount of money is ever enough ... Extra $$$ adds as an supplement to the current pool of $$$ you already have ... 12K to u is not enough, BUT to others it is a bonus ... it really helps alot to them ...

IF you decide to spent on something which is well above market or decide to start pre-school education or childcare service and etc ... that's is an extra choice which you decide , you cannot put that into the normal equation coz it will never be able to match.

So now questions yourself .... If you DO NOT have this extra 12K.. will you start your current child's program ??? IF yes, is it tedious for you & your wife ?

If I decide to send my daughter to Singapore International School at Vietnam .. this 12K CAN'T even help me ... but then .. I cannot say the scheme is lousy ..

Imagine When my Eldest Daughter was born, I DON'T even have Baby Bonus and Co-Save .... Luckily my 2nd gal got baby bonus ... the account are used to share between her and her sister ... SO How ... LAGI not enough for 2 ! But then it helps alot .. else headache man ...

Extras which is Not Enough is Better than Nothing.

Bro, firstly get married in S'pore first then Thailand. From my experience if u got married in Thailand first, u'll never get a PR from S'pore forever[no respect to s'pore govt mah], understand? Produce your marriage cert to ur MP & ask him to write for appeal or what's the reason for rejection at the custom,ok?

Bro, i think you married in Thailand you also need to inform rom, on this and produce ur marriage cert to them. I think then will issue you a marriage cert from Singapore?

I think is this way? Any bro can correct me?

Yr idea is totally wrong. Be it you marry in thailand, Vietnam or Singapore, whether yr spouse get SPE depends on you, the sponsor. Your income and stability of yr career plays a major role in deciding whether your foreign spouse gets SPR. Striking an example, if a degree holder, earning 6k a month and has been in his job for the last 3 to 5 years, do you think ICA has any reason to reject his wife's SPR application ? ( provided his wife is not black listed) . Another example, if a Singaporean male, O levels education , earns $2k a month, ICA has every reason to reject his foreign spouse SPR application as he cannot even feed himself well, not to say his foreign spouse.

Many fellow samsters don't understand this and still refuse to accept this reality. Actually , why wife needs SPR? LTSVP Plus is good enuff .

just a check, if u compare the following:

A dip holder earning 3K-3.5K self employed
A dip holder earning 3K-3.5K full time employed
A Deg holder earning 4k-6k full time employed
A o level earning 2k full time employed
A o level earning 3.5K Self employed

which are the more eligible cases that can grant Viet spouse SPR?

i understand why samster here are eager to earn their spouse SPR,

1 more question,can a sgp citizen + LTVP spouse purchase a new hdb?

SPR definitely earn more privilege compare to LTVP e.g medical,housing,financial services etc...

[sgchionger]

A viet female friend was send back to viet after her flight just landed in singapore. She was put in a room and her photo was taken. She wasnt caught for vice or anything before but she make a new passport as she lost her old 1.
Is she banned for 1-3 years and cannot enter singapore?

What can her family back here do to help her?

Dunno how to answer eligible cases for your examples. I will say different people, different luck, different merit and different situation.

*********

SC + LTVP = Resale Flat only
SC + LTVP + SC child (from same marriage) = New HDB Flat
SC + SPR = New HDB Flat

*********

LTVP+ almost same benefits as SPR if you dunno. Only difference is applying for new HDB and a little difference in healthcare benefits.

Agreed that one of the things that they look at is the your 'earning power' to justify giving your spouse SPR, but LTSVP is good enuff too. The thing about self employment is proving you have that kind of earning power. And the only way ICA to know is thru your income tax.

Btw, abt your question abt purchasing a new hdb flat, yes you can. If you are legally married, then it shouldn't be a problem.

weird becuz you din tell us the whole story...dun make us guess...if you want answers...

questions:
1) has she been staying in sinkie for more than 90 days in the past 6 months...
2) did she explained in english that she had lost her passport and got a replacement...
3) Is her name in the new passport same as the old passport which was "lost"...
4) did she declared in the D/E white card that she had been in Singapore using another passport...
5) you mentioned "her family back here do to help"...care to explain how she has a family here...

answer is very simple...if she fail in any of the 1 to 4 above then she will be asked to go back...

46. I have obtained an LTVP+. My husband is an SC. Are we allowed to purchase HDB Flats? (recent update)

Presently, an SC-Foreigner couple with an SC child is eligible to purchase new or resale HDB flats. Those without an SC child are eligible to purchase resale HDB Flats. Although such couples receive a lower amount of housing grant for buying resale HDB flats than SC couples, they can apply to top up to the full housing grant accorded to SC couples if they have an SC child or when the foreign spouse obtains Singapore citizenship subsequently.

Do not misled.

foreign spouse need to do the following:-

apply LTSVP, after 2 years
apply SPR, after 2 years
apply citizenship...

very rare you can skip LTSVP to get SPR...or citizenship...the above is the SOP and dun think any ordinary sinkie can skip any of the above...
