no,u are wrong.singaporean who marry a foreigner holding a ltvp cannot buy a new hdb flat under joint name even legally marry cos ltvp holder still consider a foreigner.

the ltvp holder spouse can stay in the flat but not join name to buy a new hdb flat

Re: Issue with ICA
 

btw,if with a sg kid is different

Re: Issue with ICA
 

Guess is only Resale .... LTVP must have at least 6 mths validity.

Check HDB website, there is a section on these.


then you are wrong ...

The new LYVP PLus now comes with subsidise Medical Benefit.

My wife is now on LTVP but I have brought her Insurance (need to pay extra 10% foreigner add-on) and Medi-Shield

Re: Issue with ICA
 

understand they do came with medical benefit but if u see the chart SPR still gain more than ltvp+ in Day Surgery 45% & Specialist Outpatient Clinic 30%.

this kind of service easily hit 10k or more thus 45% is $4.5k if we use 10k as illustration

my view is SPR is still more advantageous than ltvp+

Re: Issue with ICA
 

Of course and Obvious SPR is way advantage than LTVP + ....

BUT IF there is no LTVP + and Cannot Get SPR ... HOw ? Suck Thumb Right ? n Situation Would have been more worse ... So You want to pay Full Un-subsidised Amount or any amount that is Subsidised ? THINK ?

SO its better than NONE ... So we have to learn to be Contented ...

ahh thanks for viewing form my initial point... cheers and relax

Re: Issue with ICA
 

Yap, u are right. I bought a 3 rm resale with my wife having a 6 mths LTSVP validity back in 2004. She only allowed to be listed as an occupier I think.

Back then, I was eligible for a 12.5k singles grant. But I didn't take up the offer.

I made one of the most risky choice of my life. But it ended up giving me the most returns. We are planning to sell and get a BTO, our sales profit will be abt 200k after returning the interest accrued to my CPF. :D

Re: Issue with ICA
 

You are right. My wife is on LTSVP too & I bought a resale flat in 2006. Yes, it's true she can only be listed as a occupier. My oversight is that we have a son and I got d full grant when i bought the flat. Sorry about the wrong info.

Re: Issue with ICA
 

Bro Hurricane,
I see, I didn't ask from her these details as she was very upset.
She came for 50 days in a 5mths period. She has a sister who is a PR.
Most prob is her passport issue as she got a passport replacement when she lost her old 1. But i not sure what was spoken and since she speaks Chinese only.
High chance is 2 and 4.

Hi all, first post.

Used to have a Thai gf of 2 years. Same thing cam in and out of sg numerous times but there was once that she got sent back to Thailand when she's trying to pass the sing customs for no reason even when she gave proof of our joint account showing sufficient balance.

Was freaking du LAN and even thought of marrying her so she could stay here permanently. So I planned many things such as buying of hdb etc.

Came to realize it's going to financially tough on my shoulders. Downpayment is going to be on me, servicing of monthly installments, if she give birth no subsidies. As I don't come from a rich family, alot of sacrifices has to be made. My friends told me in long term I will regret.

Ended up we broke off. It's not easy but good luck. Just my side of the story.

Re: Issue with ICA
 

this is thinking with the big head...:)

Re: Issue with ICA
 

I tot one can use CPF to downpayment? You buying private property? love nowadays is tagged with a price.... welcome to reality, braddah :(

Re: Issue with ICA
 

Hi Bros, gd day. I'm new here and need snr bros advice.

I have a Thai GF and she wud like to come here for holidays in Jul. Read thru the forum on some past experiences by bros/friends etc and need advice on below.

1. She will be coming here for 30 days to visit me and some sight seeing. She is 1st timer to Spore and clean records. Will ICA ask her my relationship with her? Prob i have is I'm still married and going thru a divorce. (She got nothing to do with my decision on divorce). She will be staying wif me (my lau bu hse) and i have already gotten her 27 days later flight back to Thailand.

2. Have read about ICA checking the marital status of the BF. Is this true?

3. I have thought of booking her a tour package for 14 days but is this feasible?

4. My only concern is for her to be send back because I'm still legally married. I don't mind her telling Immi that she know I'm married and going thru a divorce but will this backfire?

I'm newbie here. Hope dun flame me and thanks in advance for all the advice....

Re: Issue with ICA
 

I am curious. Are you sponsoring her or else ICA would not bother who you are.

If she came on her own merit, she may get up TO 1 month visa since Thailand is part of ASEAN.

Re: Issue with ICA
 

1. just get her to fill in your lau bu address in the white card...

2. dun need to mention your name...

3. 1st time should be allowed in...dun think will ask any question...just ask her to dress innocently...

4. unfounded...irrelevant...make sure she has euogh to spend in singapore...if ica officer wants to see how much she has...in sgd or usd...
