First-Time LTVP Applicant is Required to be Present in Singapore
Thanks to an anonymous visitor who encountered this issue and also updated back to this blog. The reason why first-time applicant is required to be present in Singapore is because when the applicant submits the application online at e-VP , one of the mandatory field is DE Card Number, this number comes from the white card a visitor gets when he/she enters Singapore. For renewal, there is no such requirement. I have attached following screenshots from the original posting for reference, the comments was posted at How to Marry a Thai in Singapore .
