ROM while Pre Marital Assesment LTVP still pending

You both are married but where? In Singapore or his home country? Secondly, if you both are married then in ICA and MoM the record must be there, then Pre Marital assessment is no longer valid.

Secondly, you mean you don’t have registration of your marriage in Singapore? In a common case when a Singaporean spouse got married, he or she has to register his or her marriage to obtain marriage certificate here. So, in your case is bit confusing.

Anyway, leave aside, LTVP will be approved based on your income so you must be earning a decent salary (at least 3.5k to 4K) or else high possibility that request won’t be approved. You can directly apply LTVP, no need of any Pre Marital assessment. You may reach out ROM office for their guidance.

Secondly, with LTVP he can’t work here. He must have a sponsor in order for him to work. Earlier, LTVP+ was issued by ICA which allows to work but I think ICA has stopped it.

Yes, you can contact and request ICA to speed up the process.

Hi Surya,

Thank you for your reply. We have checked today that the Pre Marital Assessment for LTVP has been approved just today So it is possible to have Assesment approved after ROM take place.

Replies below in case in the future there are similar cases looking for answers in this forum

Singapore, under ROM/Registry of Marriage

Secondly, if you both are married then in ICA and MoM the record must be there, then Pre Marital assessment is no longer valid.
We applied for Pre Marital Assessment before the legal marriage in Singapore, just that the outcome of the assesment is not out yet at the date of legal marriage (Assesment resultcan last 4 weeks, we got married 2 weeks after assessment submission)

Secondly, you mean you don’t have registration of your marriage in Singapore? In a common case when a Singaporean spouse got married, he or she has to register his or her marriage to obtain marriage certificate here. So, in your case is bit confusing.
I have clearly mentioned that we went to ROM on my original post. This is ROM in Singapore. Not so sure which part is confusing

My income is 9k. Understood that can directly apply for LTVP but on ICA's website, it was mentioned that with Pre Marital assessment, the whole process is at most 4 weeks + 6 weeks, while without it, can be up to 6 months, that is why we decided to do the assessment

Secondly, with LTVP he can’t work here. He must have a sponsor in order for him to work. Earlier, LTVP+ was issued by ICA which allows to work but I think ICA has stopped it.
He is currently working here under Employment Pass EP (please refer to my original post). We just don't want him to be deported in case he lose his job as his company has started doing lay offs

Yes, you can contact and request ICA to speed up the process.
Thanks

Thanks for clarifying your marriage status and declaration in Singapore.

The last part of my answer about LTVP was, in the event he lost his present job and you need to apply LTVP for him to stay here. Or else why you would apply LTVP when he is obtaining EP. So, I was highlighted that even though if he obtains LTVP but can’t work. Good luck you both.

Hi Surya

You mentioned here
heir guidance.

Secondly, with LTVP he can’t work here. He must have a sponsor in order for him to work. Earlier, LTVP+ was issued by ICA which allows to work but I think ICA has stopped it.

You said with LTVP he can’t work here but my husband is a LTVP holder and he is working here in Singapore. What do you mean he must have a sponsor? Ever since when has ICA STOP allowing LTVP to work here in Singapore?

It is correct that your husband cannot work with LTVP alone - he also has to get an LoC.
The difference between LTVP and LTVP+ was that LTVP+ holders could apply for an LoC to work for an employer (who sponsors it - that's what Surya meant!). Now all LTVPs have that option and thus the "+" was dropped from the name.
