Introduction of Marriage Immigrants-Singapore Conditions

# Singapore Immigration # Introduction Marriage immigration is a way of immigration in Singapore, and many people who immigrate to Singapore do so. The Singapore government has also made certain policies and regulations on marriage immigration, and only those who meet certain requirements can successfully immigrate. Let's take a look.

1. Singapore Marriage Visa Policy

Marriage immigrant visa introduced in Singapore: Since 20 12, Singapore has specially introduced marriage immigrant visa to provide qualified foreign spouses of Singapore citizens with longer-term residency, and at the same time enjoy medical care and employment rights.

It is reported that the visa application condition is that at least one of the married children is a Singapore citizen. For those who do not have children born out of wedlock who apply to become Singapore citizens, other factors will be examined, such as the length of marriage, the financial resources of the guarantor to support the family, and the good conduct of the guarantor and the applicant. Pregnant foreign wives can apply for a visa to marriage immigration, but this visa only applies to spouses.

In terms of treatment, marriage immigrant visa is different from long-term visit permit. Although both of them allow holders to live in Singapore for a long time, the marriage immigrant visa has a longer stay, which increases employment and medical subsidies.

Singapore's Parliament passed the Immigration (Amendment) Bill on the third reading yesterday. The main changes include that fake marriage is officially listed as a crime. In addition to the entry permit, the re-entry permit for permanent residents also attaches the condition of "good behavior", that is, people who violate the law or pose a threat to public safety may lose their permanent resident status.

At present, there is no law dealing with fake marriages in Singapore. After the amendment of the bill, anyone who makes a fake marriage in order to obtain short-term or permanent residency will be regarded as illegal, as will the intermediary or criminal group that helps them and benefits from it. The criminal law is a fine of 10000 yuan, fixed-term imprisonment of 10 years, or both.

2. Application conditions

But if you want to immigrate to Singapore, then marriage immigration is ok, but marriage immigration in Singapore is very demanding and you need to really get married. According to the family relationship plan, the Immigration and Checkpoints Bureau will not approve the spouse's application for permanent residency or citizenship until the marriage between a Singaporean citizen and a foreign spouse is stable.

According to the relevant regulations of Singapore, anyone who marries a Singaporean citizen or permanent resident (male or female) is eligible to apply for permanent resident.

However, the Singapore Immigration Bureau will handle each applicant on a case-by-case basis, and not every applicant can obtain permanent resident status. However, as long as the application is really a marriage with a Singapore citizen or permanent resident, and the application materials and relevant supporting documents submitted are complete and correct, the discipline of obtaining approval for the application is great. I would like to remind applicants not to falsify. Singapore Immigration Bureau has made great efforts in counterfeiting. Once identified, it is difficult for the applicant to enter Singapore.

Even if you successfully immigrate to Singapore by using a fake marriage, as long as someone reports it or continues to investigate through the Immigration Bureau, your permanent resident status will be cancelled. In recent years, many people cheat the rights of permanent residents through fake marriages. After being reported, their permanent resident status was revoked.

In April last year, the Singapore government launched the Long-Term Visit Permit (LTVP+), which allows these foreign spouses to stay in the local area for three to five years without renewing their passes every year. Last year, 3,900 people held such permits. Compared with ten years ago, the number of foreign spouses who have married and settled in Singapore through the Kinship Scheme has greatly increased. Among them, the number of spouses who have obtained citizenship has nearly doubled.

Visa application requires that at least one married child is a Singapore citizen. For those who do not have children born out of wedlock who apply to become Singapore citizens, other factors will also be examined, such as the length of marriage, the financial resources of the guarantor to support the family, and the good conduct of the guarantor and the applicant. Pregnant foreign wives can apply for a visa to marriage immigration, but this visa only applies to spouses.

In terms of treatment, marriage immigrant visa is different from long-term visit permit. Although both of them allow holders to live in Singapore for a long time, the marriage immigrant visa has a longer stay, which increases employment and medical subsidies.

It is reported that the marriage immigrant visa is valid for three years for the first time, and it is valid for five years for the second renewal and subsequent renewals. This kind of visa health care is only applicable to restructured hospitals. The application fee is the same as the long-term visit permit in terms of cost and approval time. Generally, the approval takes six weeks.
