SINGAPORE - An average of 3,920 transnational couples a year - between 2015 and last year - applied to undergo a pre-marriage assessment that looks at the likelihood of a foreigner qualifying for a long-term visit pass after tying the knot with the Singaporean.
The Pre-Marriage Long Term Visit Pass Assessment also allows such couples to "exchange key information about themselves", including their spouses and children from previous marriages, income and criminal records, said a spokesman for the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA).
