How can I request for a Short Term Visit Pass (STVP) to allow my employee to stay in Singapore?

You can request for an STVP if you need time to:

  • Send your pass holders (work pass holders or dependants) home (e.g. unable to get flights).
  • Get the pass issued or renewed as the pass holder is:
    • Waiting for a new passport or medical results. 
    • Serving Stay-Home Notice or Quarantine Order and cannot go for the medical examination.
  • Apply for the Periodic Commuting Arrangement (PCA) scheme to bring the pass holder into Singapore for the pass to be renewed. 
  • Wait for the renewal application outcome for an Employment Pass, EntrePass, S Pass, Dependant’s Pass or Long Term Visit Pass and the current pass expires in 1 week.
