Take note that if your LTSVP approve & your wife leave for home & stay away from SIN for long periods it may affect her PR application next time

Thanks Bro Red_Tirak1099 for the confirmation and info.

Deeply appreciated

I asked because she needs to travel to Batam later to collect a "token" from her bank for internet banking. Also I planning for holidays trip in December...

Now just wait for the approval and thinking of applying for PR for her when I have my 1st child. This seems like having higher chances of success IIRC.

BTW, what nationality will the child be if my wife is still not a PR when he/she is born into this world ?

Thanks.

I see. Thanks AmzaonGer.

ICA webbie not so clear on these issues.

I was confused cause got one application is for giving birth one, talking about security bonds and leaving the country for spouse n child.

bro if got marriage cert I think should not be no problem for child to be Singaporean. SIN govt still recognise only more hassle to go & apply to Singapore Embassy of that country.

Thanks bros bahman & Red_Tirak1099

So there's no need for any application to ICA to give birth in Singapore even if my Wife is not a PR @ the time of birth ?

nope.

They extended my wife stay for 2 months on the spot and told us to wait for a month for the application to process and that we will know the result then.

If successful, there will be a need to take a medical checkup.

The 2 months extention on the spot given is likely for my wife to be able to stay to wait for the application outcome (1 month) and to go for medical checkup (1 month).

Yes for 1st timers wife will need a medical checkup (include Sata & HIV test). Also require to produce marriage cert, wife's education records, bro Ah Seng's Proof of employment (if employee) or BizReg cert from ACRA, Company P&L for 1 year (for self-employed), CPF statements, 3 yr Income Tax records etc etc. In Ah Seng's case if wife is pregnant then need doctor's letter (stating expected date of delivery).....if child already born then need birth cert.
