Dear friends,

I am an EP holder, my wife is a WP holder. My company applied for DP for her, and the application is successful鈥攚e have an IPA for her DP now. My question is,

Is it sufficient to apply for LOC using only the IPA of her DP?

The reason I am asking is, if we were to issue her DP (cancelling her WP in so doing), she won鈥檛 be able to work for at least 3 weeks while pending the application of LOC.

Many thanks for reading and any sharing of experience will be very much appreciated!

She can apply LOC after obtaining her DP. So, she has to wait till her LOC gets approved before she can resume her work again. Good luck

I can鈥檛 see the link which you have mentioned in your message, below is the MoM link says a DP holder (which means you must have DP card) can apply LOC.

If you can have MoM link which shows with IPA can apply LOC then you should go ahead applying LOC. Good luck
