I am glad that my wife felt quite disturbed by this, although she knows clearly that such practises are very common in VN. Indeed after hearing this, my wife decided to cut down the frequency of contact with this girlfriend of hers.

My ONLY advice for you :

DOn't worry about "Failed" application ..

Your main worries now is to get ALL your documents ready and Bring your Wife to Singapore for LTVP application !!!!

The Result of the application is Beyond Control ...

I just came back from Australian Grand Prix and is now trying to browse the threads so is abit lazy to quotes ...

U may want to search for my sharings and u will probably get some details there ...

I totally agree with what you said.
Last time i worried about rejections as i was rejected in my first 2 applications,
Then extend max 3months then she fly back, now all ok liao.

Thanks ! Sorry i got a few qns on the form, Do i need to state how long i want the pass to be ? Or the authority will fill in for me the duration.

What about the deposit ? I just fill in nil ? Not providing any deposit ? Or the authority will advise how much is needed.

How do i declare that she have no education certiicates ? Do i need to write a letter and attach behind the application ?.

Now headache, i have to bring her in first before i submit the application. Bxa was served wif the notice 6 mths ago.

And also it say take 6 weeks to process, can i e extend her stay and state that as a reason for waiting the results of ltsvp?

Any advise from bros here ? , the better way out is to file for a appeal on the notice of refusal ? Or just bring her in person at the custom. The officer told me that every entry is a new assessment.

Haiz ,If i can get a job in hcm to be paid the same here in sg to me, i would have moved over and work. This paperwork thing more stress then what is in my company.

LTSVP is one of the easiest to apply and get. Why are you so worried ? Everybody hopes to be paid Singapore salary and stay in HCM, but is that possible ?

I have 2 friends who are currently under "ban" AND they are Married in Singapore. They are told by Officer in order to come in , they have to get their husband to write in and appeal and apply for them to comes in.

SO if your wife is currently under 'BAN', NO point bringing your wife in. PLease apply for VISA to allow your wife to come in.

IF your wife has already passed the ban period, you can try bringing her in for NO garauntee shee can pass thru the immigration.

Now back to your QNs ... The application are done electronically. you do not need to submit anything or letters until your application are approved-in-principle and go to ICA for completion of formalities.

Those "Not Important" missing documents can write a letter of explanation to state why you cannot submit it, for example, my wife education certificate.

The duration of the LTVP is determined by ICA NOT to be requested by you. Duration can be monthly, or 3 mths or 6 mths or 1 year or now 3-5 years.

UNless you are talking about applying Entry VISA, Yes , You Need to specify the period of stay.

Deposit only if required and is specify by ICA too.

Application takes 6 weeks. YES, if your VISA is NOT enough to cover the period, during application of LTVP, the system will prompt you to extend her VISA first else you cannot proceed to do your LTVP.

It's very easy, every steps are prompted, Don't get worried and confuse for Now.

LIke I said, they is NO Point for you to worried so many things.

From WHat I have gathered so far ... the most things you need to do:

1. Your wife's Ban ...

If ou are not sure what to do ... u can PM me ...

In the news for the wrong reason again... haiz


SINGAPORE : Police have arrested seven people, including four Singaporeans and three Vietnamese, who are believed to be part of a loanshark syndicate.

The suspects are aged between 31 and 46.

They were nabbed in simultaneous raids in areas such as Serangoon and Hougang.

More than S$70,000 in Singapore and foreign currency was seized.

Several mobile phones, bank cards, a bank book, credit cards and notebooks were also seized.

Initial investigations revealed that the suspects were involved in recruiting Vietnamese to come to Singapore to carry out loanshark harassment acts.

They also provided accommodation for the Vietnamese harassers after they entered Singapore.

One day 2 reports on Vietnamese ......



SINGAPORE : The Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) has busted a drug trafficking group trafficking in various drugs including cannabis and 'Ice'.

Thirteen suspects were arrested in the sting operation conducted on Monday.

Drugs with an estimated street value of S$52,000 were also seized.

On Monday evening, CNB officers spotted a 50-year-old suspect wanted for drug trafficking offences in the vicinity of Upper Changi Road North.

He was with a 48-year-old female companion.

CNB officers moved in and arrested both persons, recovering about 610 grammes of cannabis and three Ecstasy tablets from the man.

The 48-year-old female was also wanted by CNB for a drug consumption offence.

The officers then went to an apartment the pair were renting in the vicinity and recovered a small amount of 'Ice' and various drug paraphernalia, including a digital weighing scale.

Officers also recovered cash amounting to about S$1,600.

During the search of the unit, the female suspect suddenly turned hysterical and tried to hurt herself with two fruit knives.

CNB officers managed to restrain the female suspect but in the process, two officers were injured and bitten.

In another incident on Monday, a 30-year-old suspected drug trafficker was spotted in the vicinity of Joo Chiat Place.

He was arrested and found with an envelope containing a small packet of ketamine and two Ecstasy tablets.

A 34-year-old male suspected drug abuser was also arrested.

The 30-year-old suspected drug trafficker led CNB officers to a unit of a private residential block in Joo Chiat Place where another seven persons suspected to be involved in drug activities were arrested.

Another unit in the same residential block was also raided and a male Singaporean and a female Vietnamese national were arrested.

A small packet of 'Ice' and cash amounting to about S$4,170 were recovered from the female's handbag.

A total of approximately 130 grammes of cannabis, 1,500 Erimin-5 tablets, a small packet of ketamine, and various drug paraphernalia, including a digital weighing scale, numerous empty plastic sachets and improvised drug smoking apparatus, were also recovered from the second unit.

Investigations into all the suspects' drug activities are currently ongoing.

Those convicted in court for drug trafficking will face a minimum penalty of five years' jail and five strokes of the cane.

I know of a Singaporean Chinese man who married a girl from a Southeast Asian country. She did not have a foreign/Singaporean University degree. (As if a smart wife will make a good wife?). She bought a fake one from her home country. She submitted it to the ICA. She was found out. She was charged in Court and was imprisoned.

The moral of this story is fake documents should not be submitted to the Singapore authorities? The applicant will be found out? You can login in as a "Guest" when you reply to this.

Haha...i got married with borrowed money initially...but I think the most important thing is how you strive to make things work. If you are hardworking and not choosy, you will not die in Singapore....

About the second part, I fully agree!! Have heard of many instances of that happening. These men are really heartless...but karma will take care of them!

I've heard one more classic.. as usual, sweet talk the gal, makes gal think that he's not that bad a guy. Goes Khach san then on the way send the gal back in cab, the gal ask for payment. He said of course but I'll give it to you when reach your place.....reach the gals's place: ok em, em xuong truoc doi anh di, anh tra tien taxi...what happens next? he slammed the door shut and ask taxi to drive off...

When i first heard it....my 1st thought was: wah!! machiam lam phim wa!!
hahahaha!!

Sad to know this ia a singaporean guy....

Vietnamese are very strong in their family ties, family comes 1st b4 anything. its very different from ours. u want them to give up on their family? No way bro...

i dont know what excatly happened btwn u n yur in-laws, but i believed they dont despise u, they r have happy to have a foreigner as son-in-law. it brings honour to their family. how can they dislike u?

like the bros had said, u need time to educate yur bx n including her parents.

sorry, i nhieu chuyen a bit: can i ask how long u know yur bx b4 yur marriage?

it really depends on luck.if u have an in law who just want to squeeze until dry from her foreigner son in law,they are happy to have an ATM rather than bringing honour to their family

There is in law who dont do that towards their son in law and i am lucky to be one of them
