Why My Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP) Application Was Rejected: Key Reasons and Solutions

Applying for a Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP) in Singapore can be a challenging process, and receiving a rejection can be disheartening despite following all the guidelines and submitting all the required documents. Understanding the common reasons for rejection and knowing how to address them can improve your chances when you apply LTVP in future applications.

 

In this article, we will explore the top reasons why LTVP applications are often rejected, provide an insight on ICA’s decision making process, and provide actionable solutions to help you navigate the process more effectively.

Common Reasons for LTVP Rejection

1. Insufficient Documentation One of the primary reasons for LTVP rejection is the submission of incomplete or incorrect documentation. The Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) requires a comprehensive set of documents to assess your eligibility.

Solution: Ensure that you provide all necessary documents, including a valid passport, marriage certificate, birth certificates (for parents), and any other relevant paperwork. Documents not in English must be translated and notarised by a notary public in Singapore or the country that issued the document.

2. Inaccurate Information Providing incorrect or inconsistent information on your application can lead to rejection. This includes discrepancies in personal details, employment history, or relationship status.

Solution: Carefully review your application before submission. Ensure all information is accurate and matches your supporting documents. Any discrepancies can raise red flags and lead to a denial. For example, the start and end dates of your employment should tally with what is stated in your resume and official employment documents.

3. Financial Insufficiency The ICA needs assurance that you can financially support yourself and your family members during your stay in Singapore. If your financial proof is deemed insufficient, your application may be rejected.

Solution: Provide clear evidence of your financial stability. This can include bank statements, employment letters, or proof of income. If sponsored by a Singaporean spouse or parent, include their financial details as well.

4. Health Concerns Applicants must meet certain health standards. If there are significant health issues that were not disclosed or inadequately addressed, it might result in rejection.

Solution: Undergo the required medical examinations and provide accurate health reports. Address any health concerns transparently and ensure all medical documentation is up to date. You may also provide ICA with you personal health insurance policies to showcase long-term financial planning.

5. Previous Immigration Issues Any history of visa overstays, deportations, or violations of immigration laws can negatively impact your LTVP application process.

Solution: Maintain a clean immigration record. If you have previous issues, address them in your application and explain any mitigating circumstances. Demonstrating compliance with immigration regulations can bolster your case.

6. Relationship Authenticity For applications based on marital or familial relationships, proving the length of your relationship is crucial. If the ICA doubts the authenticity, your application may be denied.

Solution: Provide ample evidence of your relationship. This can include testimonials from family and friends. The more evidence you provide, the stronger your case
