Singapore Passport Change to 10 Years

https://www.todayonline.com/singapore/singapore-passport-validity-increase-10-years-applications-october

Nice, somehow every 5 years feel like I got older, but then every 10 years probably will feel even worse, anyway the point is it will be less troublesome, no need to renew every 5 years.

It will start from 1st Oct 2021, so if you want to renew passport, might as well wait after that, anyway most people will probably not be going anywhere this year, if you do have to go out of Singapore, then it will be at your own risk so make your own assessment carefully, think again, and again.

And the application fee is the same, still S$70, cool, strangely ICA didn't take this opportunity to increase price, they could probably just increase to S$100 and people will be lan lan anyway.

Speaking of going somewhere, damn bloody long never go Thailand, wish I could go Phuket or something, but then with the Covid not getting better, recently actually got worse, I think I will probably just stay put, not worth the risk.

Remember to mask up, stay clean, stay indoors (where possible), safety first.

I'll sum up the key points in the FAQ provided by ICA so you don't have to go through one big page. Do let me know if I missed out anything or correction is required by dropping a comment. GENERAL LTVP+ will be in effect from 01 Apr 2012. LTVP+ holders will enjoy extended duration of residency, public healthcare subsidies and easier access to employment. No separate application required for LTVP+; an application for LTVP will automatically include your spouse for LTVP+, if eligible.

Current holders of LTVP will be considered for LTVP+ on next renewal. If holde

How to Marry a Thai in Singapore

You should refer to here -  https://www.rom.gov.sg/reg_info/rom_marriage.asp Please spend some time to go through and understand the information on that section (legal provision, other information, filing of notice, solemnization and etc), if your still not sure, feel free to drop a comment here or you can use their FAQ . The ROM website did a really good job of putting together the information that you need in a well-organized manner. I've done it once and I think the guide is very easy to follow. The only hiccup I've had with my marriage is during the  Appointment for verification & Statutory Declaration where both of us were required to read out a wall of text and my wife had difficulty getting past the first few lines and the counter guy got fed up and told my wife to stop. Definitely my oversight as I didn't arrange for an interpreter beforehand but luckily, there was a licensed interpreter at the scene and we managed to get her to do the interpretation fo
