Authorization for eligible LTVP/LTVP+ holders to work for a specific employer.
Singapore's Business Visit Visa is a short-stay entry visa from the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) for nationals of visa-required countries travelling for non-remunerative business such as meetings, conferences, and contract negotiations. The visa is pre-entry permission; the actual stay is set by the Visit Pass granted at the checkpoint.
The fee is S$30, with applications typically decided within three working days. Apply within 30 days of arrival via the ICA SAVE e-Service, through a local contact in Singapore (Form V39A Letter of Introduction) or an Authorised Visa Agent at a Singapore Overseas Mission. Holders cannot take up employment or services requiring a work pass; there is no dependent visa or PR pathway.
This visa is ideal for executives, consultants, and corporate representatives from visa-required countries making short, non-employment business trips to Singapore.
