Spouse of a Singapore Citizen

Back to top

Before marriage, both the Singapore citizen and his/her foreign spouse-to-be are encouraged to complete the Pre-Marriage LTVP Assessment (PMLA). This free online assessment helps you:

  • Check your chances of getting a Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP) (as marriage does not guarantee LTVP approval)
  • Speed up the LTVP application process: 6 weeks instead of 6 months

The PMLA asks for personal information, similar to what you will use for applying for the LTVP. ICA uses this information to tell you your chances of getting an LTVP. If you are assessed to be eligible for an LTVP, you will be issued a Letter of LTVP Eligibility (LLE) that is valid for one year, which can then be used in your LTVP application, after your marriage.


Documents Required

You will need to provide original documents and official translations (for documents in languages other than English), as well as copies of the documents for ICA to retain.

ICA accepts:

  • Translations provided by the embassy of the country that issued the document
  • Translations produced by a notary public in Singapore or the country that issued the document
  • Privately created translations attested by the embassy of the country that issued the document, or notarised by a notary public in Singapore or the country that issued the document.

    • ICA does not endorse any private translation companies or entities. Insufficient documentation may result in non-acceptance of your application. You may be required to provide additional documents to support your application.


    Please refer to the checklist on the documents required for your application. You will need to provide original documents and official translations (for documents in languages other than English).


    Apply Online Procedure

    After marriage, you may apply for the LTVP. Your Singapore citizen spouse must sponsor your application via ICA e-Service using Singpass.

    Enquire Status Processing Time

    Applications will be processed within 6 months, provided all the required documents are submitted and in order. If you had completed the PMLA before submitting the LTVP application, the processing time will be shortened to 6 weeks.

    For multiple products applied for within a single application, the processing time will be based on the product with the longer processing time.

    You will be informed of the outcome of the LTVP application via email. You may also check the LTVP application status online at MyICA or the e-Service.
