A short-term visit pass (STVP) is typically issued on arrival for eligible nationalities and allows a stay of up to 30 days, which can sometimes be extended to 90 days. It is designed for purposes such as tourism, short business trips, or medical treatment. In contrast, a long-term visit pass (LTVP) must be applied for in advance and is intended for extended stays, usually for family members of Singapore citizens or residents, or those requiring long-term care. It can be valid for up to two years and provides greater flexibility for extended visits or family reunification.
