Re: Issue with ICA
 

if these guideline is true, I think I can only dream on my spouse PR approval:(

Re: Issue with ICA
 

Actually not that difficult mah..... for couple is only 60K which is about 5K monthly. If both are working should easily cover that amount. :)

And now most properties are worth $1m above.... even for HDB flats is coming to near that amount too.

Re: Issue with ICA
 

In most cases, our foreign spouse are only housewife during application so income can only based on husband :(, as for HDB unless you sell otherwise even worth up to 2mil also no use.

hi bros, i have a thai gf who is now staying in jb on 3mths social visit. im trying to find a job for her in singapore but it seems impossible. what can thai girls work as. no pubs or bars pls. tyvm

Re: Issue with ICA
 

It is purposely structured in this way to make it advantageous to the moneyed class and well educated applicants.

Why do you need to sell your property? They just need a valuation of how much your property is worth..... duh

Re: Issue with ICA
 

Supermarket cashier at GM,translator,remittance cashier, hair dresser and many more if she can speak English.
Good luck

Re: Issue with ICA
 

Pls be aware that once she holds a SG issued Work Permit (unless S or E Pass), her chances for PR become nearly zero.

Dun ask me why, but this how our ICA thinks.

Re: Issue with ICA
 

Totally agreed. ICA only looks at how much you contribute to nation building per year (i.e. IRAS statement).

If you ain't contributing much, it literally means that you cannot support your spouse. If granted PR, your spouse needs to work and vie for a piece of the pie (already small) with locals.

Like it or not, ICA thinks this way.

Btw, they also look at your job, ie stable income (commission or what....), job nature, blah blah. Therefore, try not to job hop too much.

Re: Issue with ICA
 

Why? This is strange...Care to enlighten?

Re: Issue with ICA
 

Don't Say Becomes PR ... Want to Get Married also not that easy ... Need to write in to MOM for Approval ...

Re: Issue with ICA
 

Simple leh, MOM issue u wp just to strictly work in sillypore & not for u to know any men & get marry here.:rolleyes:

Re: Issue with ICA
 

I wanna to marry my Msian Gf who is holding a Work Permit, do I have go through MOM Marriage Approval first? if yes anyone know what is the procedure please kindly advise.. Thanks!

Re: Issue with ICA
 

First of all, submit your application to MOM for marriage permission, upon approval then u can move on to ROM & then ICA for LTVP:)

Re: Issue with ICA
 

Dun know how true. Like what Blast88 mentioned, WP holders come in Sg to work as blue collar workers, i.e. low skilled, low pay.

I reckoned that ICA thinks that such ppl do not contribute to SG economy, as such spouses who had previously held such passes tend to have issues getting PR, as compared with those on S or E Passes (who are perceive as more valued and contributes more to SG economy).

Re: Issue with ICA
 

Just curious, in the course of LTVP application. One had declared that they had kids from their previous marriage.

After issuance of the LTVP, one proceeds with his/her PR application. One, however does not declared that his/her kids during this PR application.

Do you think that ICA will retrieve the LTVP application and compare with the recent PR application? Will one be charged for falsifying information?

Re: Issue with ICA
 

Of course.U are deem to have given false information.

Bro,dont try your luck.somemore is same organisation application.If u try and they found out,they will blacklist your application next time unless they screw up which can also happen at some time:D

Re: Issue with ICA
 

Not so serious lah, at most they will be just decline your application & make u trouble to re-apply again:) I'm also curious, previously u had declared for LTVP but why u don't declare for PR:confused:

Re: Issue with ICA
 

ICA no need to retrieve as the computer system will throw up the discrepancies on screen. FYI all applications are input into the data system now and accessible to the various government agencies. So if you try to bullshit, you will definitely be caught.

Re: Issue with ICA
 

Not me, but a frd frd.... :D

Re: Issue with ICA
 

Bro,

Usually the application form is filled up wrongly. ICA uses a basket of factors to give points to the PR applicant. When the right boxes are ticked, PR is awarded. Financial stability is only one aspect. Re-submit.

Re: Issue with ICA
 

Bro,

Do not do false declaration. If information given wrongly, please inform ICA before matters become worst.

Re: Issue with ICA
 

wow...you are back...mia for almost 2 years...where have you been...:)

Re: Issue with ICA
 

I am also back. :D

My return is early by a couple of weeks because I got time off for good behavior. :p

Re: Issue with ICA
 

I think you directed at the wrong person. I was giving out advice. And it's not bro either.

It's Cat W O M A N ! :)

Re: Issue with ICA
 

with the increasing number of sham marriages prosecuted...genuine couples are facing lots of difficulties getting LTVP, PR, etc....:)

http://everythingalsocomplain.com/20...-in-singapore/

these are the real reason your spouse application not approved if you are not holding good jobs and contributing cpf regularly...:)

Re: Issue with ICA
 

Being jobless and no CPF contribution dun matter if you have money in the bank. :p

Re: Issue with ICA
 

Hi all bros

Can anyone advice what is the email address to ICA controller? for writing to them to seek approval for marriage.

Re: Issue with ICA
 

approval for marriage is needed for Former WP holders, i.e. DH/WP ..

Write to MOM ..

You can email MOM directly, and they will advice

You don't need ICA approval for marriage

Re: Issue with ICA
 

If is regarding approval from MOM, get a form from MOM at work pass office near bendermeer. Fill up the form, send it back to MOM. Within 4 to 6 weeks they will send a letter to you whether approve.
ROM side will need this letter as a prove before marriage can proceed.

Re: Issue with ICA
 

ah, didn't know that .. though, again, such process don't apply to EP holders.

SP I don't know .. WP I know for sure ..

Now the clincher is, getting permission don't guarantee even LTVP .. unless YOU QUALIFY ..

So, yes, get permission, but don't think permission = confirmed LTVP or more
