The new rules are aimed at streamlining the work visas processes for foreigners married to Singapore citizens and permanent residents.
All foreigners married to citizens and permanent residents in Singapore may apply for a Letter of Consent (LOC) in order to gain employment in the country. While the practice of issuing LOCs was already in place for Long Term Visit Plus pass (LTVP+) holders, the changed rules will benefit the other type of such foreigners in Singapore – the Long Term Visit pass (LTVP) holders.
Until recently, such LTVP holders needed to obtain a work permit from the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) Singapore in order to be legally employed in the country.
