normally they wont reject your girl application if she have no bad record in sg before.how long they will give her the ltvp depends on your financial status btw my wife is also older than me so u are not alone

Ya quite new to viet, i will read more.

Yeah thx ... I know im earning low now thats why im asking whether is there ppl example who succeed with 2.2k income for the lstvp.

if u have a stable job for past 2 to 3 years and record is clean,most of the time they will give but for how long,it depends on them

The most important is your wife must not have any bad record in sg before

Your pay may be low but hope you have consistently contribute CPF for the past 3 years...and not have problem with the law...then maybe better rate of success...good luck...

Hmm 3 consecutive years no, i have just recently switch co. Due to the location of my work place is far frm my part time school. But all the co. I have worked for are very well knowned public listed co. Where you can read frm the news day in and out.

Please advise whether the rate of success will be high ? Else i maybe think to get someone to sponsor instead ... But in her legit husband so im thinking will there be any breach in the regulation if im to get someone to sponsor her rather than me myself. (etc . My manager)

[Golden question]

if u now in sg,why not just bring your cert to ICA and check with them.Let them see and if they say recognise,then u just apply ltvp accordingly if they say cannot,then go vietnam embassy and check with them what u suppose to do next

my marriage cert is from HCM and yes,the cert come with all those govertment chop,without those,is consider not true copy,i got it translate to english over there and with the chop and ICA recognise

I call SG ROM and they say no need to register again cos 1 person can only register once either oversea or sg but whether the marriage cert is recognise in sg govertment eye is depends on them

Hmm, she got a letter of refusal once when i asked her to come over. Which is like 6 mths ago in sept . I guess they do not believe shes my wife,She did not bring her wed cert with her. Even if she bring also no results, as its in tv. the reason was not stated clearly. Just purely without the reason to enter singapore.

Would appreciate your advise.

dont do any funny thing like get a sponsor especially if u are marry to her.make a trip to ICA and check with them

what u mean by rate of succeess?getting the LTVP depends on u and her record so if your financial status is good and her record is clean,most of the time they will give

of course lah,no proper document,how u expect them to believe,u should be the one go and check first before asking her to come.u already make her in a bad position cos the record is there that they issue her a letter of refusal

why u did not go and check first like ask ICA what document they need?every day they see many type of foreign cert,do u think they recognise if is not in english.

[Golden question]

u also funny lah,she come without any marriage cert and u expect ICA to believe both of u that u all are marry and issue her the LTVP.DONT TRY,ALWAYS CHECK

At that point im thinking it shouldnt be a problem, as she have a gap of 6 mths not coming to sg. So i thought its alright .

I called up ica, they keep telling to fill the forms. Before i fill and sign any form i would want to make sure everything in order before i lack anything in the application and make the matter worse.

Thats why in here for advise

she will not get letter of refusal when she presents her passport at the airport checkpoint counter...she only will not get a stamp on her passport and asked to return...if there is a letter from ICA, think you better look into it and see what it said...

so long you have a cpf contribution for the past 3 years even you switch job but not sit at home 1 year with no job...then better success rate...

The letter just states under the immgration act, my wife has been ineligible to be issued a pass . Thats all.

So i asked her to stay in viet, 6 mths passed. Visited her thrice, damn in laws like sucking blood. Getting more n more worse, even blamed her for not providing for the family. I only gave them enough money every month to eat, the rest i gave my wife to keep in case of emergency.

Normally if there's no indication here that she's married to you and records shows that she frequents here too "regularly" and stays all the way tilll the social visit pass is expired, it as tell tale sign that she could be one of those coming here to work. That said, they were all views based solely on her entry/exit records.

Your wife would know where to get the translation done and "chopped" with the red official ink in Vietnam. I am not sure where it is but I reckon most vietnamese will know. Just like we know our ICA.

These are the documents to prepare on her side that must be translated, "chopped with red official ink" and certified true copy:

1.) Birth cert
2.) marriage cert
3.) highest education cert (if any)
4.) Household census book

You do not need the originals but need certified true copies as verified by vietnamese authorities. 2 sets: one in vietnamese and one translated copy in english.

This should be sufficient for her side. The rest will be your own income proof, education proof etc etc as stated in application form.

Hope this helps!

what you had mentioned above are typical Viet in-laws story...we heard and read it many times in this thread...even TS had stated many of his in-laws bad experiences...all you need is to read them...so you knew how to handle this situation...
