Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

Good day guys. Wanna confirmed/verify some issue regard my wife. Hope u guys can give me some advice. My wife currently is a LTVP holder. She intends to do some work as a sale assistant. According to MOM website and her boss, she will be required to apply for work permit and giv up her LTVP card once the work permit is approved. The letter of consent to work only applies to LTVP+ holder due to the recent regulation changes.

My question is if she converted to work permit, will it decrease the chance of obtaining PR?? Cos alot of her frds advised against it due there are many rumors said that getting a work permit will lower her chance of getting PR. The ICA helpline CS guy said that it doesnt matter...But I dont really trust CS cos they have input me wrong info before.

Hope u guys can give some valuable inputs. Much thanks

i cannot give u a good answer, cause my ex girl friend she is a malaysian. She get a S pass, then after 1 year. she gotten PR , but currently because of the LTVP+ i think very hard to get PR le

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

Dun think anyone here can give u a definite answer, cos there is no regularities in the way ICA approve PR applications. Like u said they are just rumors. Previously, my wife also applied for WP n then some of my friends also told me the same thing: don't do it. But i think ultimately, is both yur wife n yur records here are clean. I.e. not engaging in any criminal offences. Then shld be "safe".

It is yur life n she is yur wife n since u have already think through n planned it out, u have my moral support. But 1 advice: air tickets nowadays r not cheap. Do think through n do yur maths properly

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

answer is simple...to apply WP means that your bx is not qualified to apply EP and also you dun have enough earnings to apply your bx for PR...so bx has to come out to work using WP...all these are signs of weakness to ICA when apply PR and Citizenship...:)

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

I agree with what you stated. Having a clean record is always helpful for PR application. But i do see that its getting tougher to get PR for foreign spouse nowadays, but if your credentials are strong, i am sure its still possible. The LTSVP+ offers almost similiar benefits as PR, so if cannot get PR, LTSVP+ is good too. :D

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

Actually i think the LTSVP+ is good because it is valid for 3yrs at least and ur wife can work at the same time.
Anyone can think of any reason not to go for this pass??
Cause my ba xa has just received her's.

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

I also wan LTVP+ but my Bx do not fit the requirement which is have a baby of SC and stayed in Singapore more than 3 yrs

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

Good day, So in the end, did your wife go ahead and took the work permit??

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

Hi, we have a baby recently but she is in singapore for less than 2yrs and we got the LTVP+.

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

Actually our plan is to settle down in vietnam eventually and i don't need her to work so thats why i have no need for PR.

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

Go stay there for 1 year first and you will have a totally different idea. I mean 1 year full time there, not stay in singapore and fly there once in a while ;)

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

Yes. But be warned, after WP cancelled, have to go through all the process of applying the LTSVP again.
