Mr. Tan, a Singaporean citizen, applied to renew his wife's LTVP. His wife had been living in Singapore for three years and had been a dedicated homemaker. Mr. Tan had a stable income and provided proof of their marriage and income. The application was approved within five weeks.
Lesson: Meeting the income requirements and providing strong supporting documents can expedite the LTVP renewal process.
Ms. Lee, a permanent resident, applied to renew her elderly mother's LTVP. Her mother had been residing in Singapore for two years and was dependent on Ms. Lee for support. However, Ms. Lee's income was slightly below the minimum requirement. She appealed to ICA, explaining her mother's financial situation and providing evidence of her mother's medical condition. The appeal was successful, and the LTVP was renewed.
Lesson: In exceptional circumstances, ICA may consider applications that do not meet all the income requirements.
Mr. and Mrs. Wong, both Singapore citizens, applied to renew their son's LTVP. Their son had been studying in Singapore for the past five years and was about to graduate from university. The Wongs provided proof of their son's academic achievements and his plans to seek employment in Singapore upon graduation. The LTVP was renewed for two years to allow their son ample time to find a job and secure a work permit.
Lesson: Strong academic qualifications and future employment prospects can increase the chances of LTVP renewal for children of SCs/PRs.
