The LTVP processing time may take up to six weeks.

If your application is still within this processing time, please wait to be notified of your application outcome via email or check on the application outcome using the Status Enquiry, rather than contacting ICA to enquire about the status of your application.

   If you fail to make payment, your approved application will be withdrawn.
