Cancel a Long-Term Visit Pass

You must cancel a Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP) if the LTVP holder no longer needs it. Once cancelled, please cut the pass card in half and discard it to prevent misuse.   

  • Follow these steps to send LTVP holders home
  • If you need more time to send pass holders home (e.g. waiting for an embassy-facilitated flight), you can request to extend their stay in Singapore.

    Please submit this request within 1 week before their Short-Term Visit Pass (STVP) expires. E.g. If the STVP expires on 10 February, please only submit the request from 3 February.
