Please wait for the outcome of your application from the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) before submitting a marriage application. This is to ensure that your marriage application does not breach any work permit conditions.

You are also highly encouraged to apply for Pre-Marriage Long-Term Visit Pass Assessment (PMLA) before marriage. The PMLA is a free online assessment tool that helps your prospective spouse and you have greater clarity on your eligibility for Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP). This is an important step as marriage to a Singapore Citizen does not guarantee a non-resident spouse automatic right of entry into Singapore or approval for long-term stay in Singapore. Those who have completed the PMLA will benefit from a shorter processing time of about 6 weeks instead of 6 months for their LTVP application.

More details on the PMLA can be found on ICA’s website at https://www.ica.gov.sg/reside/pre-marriage-long-term-visit-pass-assessment.
