Permit and Passport for Newborns

I originally intended this to be just a simple sharing of my experience to people like me: Filipino parents who bore their child in Singapore and now wanted to make sure that the child can stay with us. Seeing that many people are having the same issues as well, to make it easier for future readers, I've republished my old post and placed this tag here. It's also easier to do some updates from here, so there you go. :)

Note: Most of this information was observed from September 2010 until December 2010. If anything has changed after that time, please let me know so I can update the posts accordingly. :)

Part One: From Birth to Passport Application

The initial part consists of the following steps:
  • Birth Registration
  • Philippine Passport Application
  • Extension of 42-Day Limit
After registering your baby's birth, you have 42 days to complete your baby's valid pass to stay in Singapore. The valid pass requires a passport. So, next step is to apply for your child's Philippine passport. Once done, you wait for about six weeks for the passport. While waiting for the passport, don't forget to apply for the pass extension.

Part Two: Passport Collection, Pass Extension, and Application

Next steps:
  • Update: Extension of 42-Day Limit
  • Philippine Passport Collection
  • Long term Visit Pass Application (online)
Some additional notes when applying for the special pass extension of your child. Once you collect the passport, it's time to apply for the pass (Long Term Visit Pass or Dependent Pass). This is where we branch off. For us, we applied for the Long Term Visit Pass. Not sure exactly how to do the Dependent Pass, but your company (your sponsor, if you're an EP holder) should be able to help you out on this one. Otherwise, for LTVP just read on. Log your application on line and wait for 2 to 3 weeks.



Once approve, it's time to complete the formalities of the LTVP by going to ICA and submitting the documents.

Entire process takes about three (3) months to complete, including the waiting times. Any questions, let me know. I'll try to help/answer as best as I can. Believe me, we all need the help we can get! :)
