Committee of Supply 2024 debate, Day 2: Muhamad Faisal Abdul Manap on the Long-Term Visit Pass
MP Muhamad Faisal Abdul Manap said in Parliament on Thursday (Feb 29) that applying for the Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP) is a stressful process and its financial costs are challenging for those who come less well-off households. He wanted to know if the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority has engaged other relevant organisations in formulating a more coordinated approach in assessing LTVP applications for foreign spouses of Singaporeans. He also expressed concern with the low take-up rate of the pre-marriage long-term visit pass assessment.
