Hi guys
me and my singaporean fiancé is planning to get married by this year.
i would like to ask, is it better if we do a PMLA before marriage or should i apply for long term visit pass after marriage? or after marriage should we just straight away apply for PR.
btw im an spass holder with a salary of 3.5k and my fiancé salary is around 2.5k, I have seen a lot of posts that if you get ltvp you might unable to work. unless both couples are married for 3years then can work by holding an ltvp+.
im not familiar in this kind of pass. i also dont want to affect my current job.
thanks in advance 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 anyone can help me
PMLA (pre marriage long term assessment)

PMLA is not a visa, just a check (before marrying) of whether you could get an LTVP after the wedding. It does not increase your approval chances, but can shorten the LTVP application process.
LPVP (and LTVP+, the two are almost the same now) does not allow work. For that, you'd need an additional LoC, applying for which takes time and involves risk of rejection.
You will also not become PR right after marrying - unless you are already eligible now.
But all this is unnecessary, as you can just continue to stay in Singapore with your current S-Pass!

@beppi hi, does this mean that people can apply PMLA before setting wedding date/apply to ROMM?

@navrbagdown Sorry, I do not know the answer. Ask ICA!

@navrbagdown Hello, Yes! You can apply PMLA, as this is only an assessment for you and your future wife/husband if he/she is eligible to get LTVP/LTVP+.
Take note: this PMLA is not an LTVP, it is only an assessment and it will help you to get the result in short period of time(1 month), and you will only need to submit less documents since you already applied for PMLA. Normal waiting time of result for LTVP is up to 6months.
Approved PMLA will only be valid for 1 year, and if you did not get married after 1 year, you need reapply again.
