Dear,

While my wife is waiting for DP approval, I applied tourist visa for her as well. Just now the DP IPA letter is received as well, so she is having both DP IPA and tourist visa.

A few days later she will go to Singapore, so I would like to ask which one is better to show immigration when checking?

Thanks

Either one you can use. But since you have DP IPA you can simply provide that to immigration.

There is no word called DP IPA. In-Principle Approval (IPA) issues to work permit holders. For DPs, it’s the DP approval letter which can be printed out post approval which has issued under the work pass holder who must be his or her spouse.

If she has already DP approval then carry the approval copy, it would suffice her to enter Singapore legally. Good luck
