Consecutive uses of Relative Visit Visa

HI tia1,

The rule states that a 3-month gap between visas is maintained.

But the rule may or may not be followed, depending on many factors.

Hello Sumitran,

Thanks for replying. May I ask if you have a source for this rule? I have not seen it on the ROP site, or with my searching skills ... thank you.

HI tia1,

I guess the best person who could ratify this would be the company PRO. The rule was published sometime in the local dailies. Am unable to locate them now despite looking all over the internet.

The primary reason behind this break in visa issuance is, some companies were hiring expatriates without the needed job clearance and was availing of their services by having them work on other visas and not on the mandatory employment visa. So to stop this practice, the 3-month gap was introduced quite some time back.

The latest update on this can be known only through the PROs.

Thank you for the insight Sumitran, and I appreciate you taking the time to both look and reply. Take care.
