Just to share...

2012, , there were around 9,000 marriages between a citizen and a foreigner, said Ms Fu. Children born from such marriages make up about 30 per cent of Singaporean babies born every year.

However, MPs such as Dr Lam Pin Min (Sengkang West) and Mr Pritam Singh (Aljunied GRC) said many residents face difficulties in applying for long-term visit passes, permanent residency or citizenship for their foreign spouses.

They called for greater clarity and transparency in the criteria for such applications and reasons for rejection. Mr Hri Kumar Nair (Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC) also asked for more flexibility for foreign children of Singaporeans.

Responding, Mr Teo said foreign spouses would generally be given a long-term visit pass "in the first instance" after considering factors such as the sponsor's ability to support the family and both parties' good conduct.

As of the end of last year, 11,736 foreign spouses of Singapore citizens were on long-term visit passes. Of this group, 4,200 had been granted the enhanced Long Term Visit Pass-Plus (LTVP+) since the scheme was introduced last April.

LTVP+ holders can stay here for three years and get health-care subsidies for inpatient services at restructured hospitals at close to the levels given to permanent residents.

Those on the LTVP can stay for only a year and do not benefit from such subsidies.

Foreign spouses are eligible for the LTVP+ if the married couple has at least one Singaporean child. For those without a Singaporean child, other factors such as the length of marriage will be considered, Mr Teo said.

"But each application will be considered on its own merits," he said. He also assured Mr Nair that the LTVP+ "in no way disadvantages" a foreign spouse's application for PR or citizenship.

Mr Teo said more foreign spouses will qualify to become PRs, and eventually citizens, as their marriages stabilise and they become increasingly integrated.

Over the past five years, 4,100 foreign spouses were granted PR status every year. A further 4,100 took up citizenship each year.

Spelling out the Government's thinking, Mr Teo said: "We want to facilitate such couples to remain together in Singapore and for them to form stable families who would contribute in a positive way to Singapore."

FOREIGN BRIDES AND FOREIGN GROOMS

Many of the less-educated men tend to turn to foreign brides from developing countries. There were more than 5,000 marriages between Singaporean men and foreign women last year. Counsellor Willie Chien said such marriages bring their own set of social problems: "We have spouses coming from Thailand, Batam, China and also from Vietnam, Many of these people struggle to find acceptance and support locally. So if that particular person, for whatever reason, is separated from her husband, then she is left all alone to fend for herself."

The number of women marrying foreign spouses is also going up. There were more than 1,500 marriages involving Singaporean brides and foreign grooms last year, nearly double the figure compared to 10 years ago.

However, a match-maker Channel NewsAsia spoke to said that marrying someone seen to be less qualified may soon become the norm for women, as attitudes towards finding a life partner changes.

Yes not all are bad,senior bro who have many years experience of dealing with viet either vb,wl or wife are here and is describing in general.

Even though bro here describe on how negative is it about vb either their thinking,culture or way of doing things,is only for people to see the full picture.

If not how come this thread have the most pages and have few stars and can be the top thread in matters of the heart

Let face it,browse through all the pages and singviet is the only one who really speak the true facts from the first day till now,but he is still here and where is those past bro who challenge him and speak up for their vb for the past few years when singviet tell them some negative comment about their vb?

Are they now happy with their vb or wife or are they no longer together already?Where are those bro now?
