FAQ

  • What is a Dependent’s Pass (DP)?

    A Singapore Dependent Pass (DP) is a type of relocation visa specifically granted to selected family members of those who hold a valid work visa in Singapore: Employment Pass, S pass, EntrePass or Personalised Employment Pass. A DP will permits an individual to join their parent or spouse in Singapore, and once a DP is issued, the holder will need to apply for an Employment Pass, S Pass or Work Permit to be eligible to work in the country legally. Additionally, DP holders can freely travel in and out of the country without applying for separate entry visas.

  • What should my salary be to be eligible for a Dependent’s Pass?

    You must be earning an individual fixed monthly salary of at least $6000 to be eligible to apply for a DP for your spouse or child. Each request must be submitted on behalf of your spouse or child and the applicant must hold a valid Singapore Employment Pass, S Pass, EntrePass or Personalised Employment Pass to submit a request on behalf of their spouse and children.

    Note that the minimum salary requirement is a general indication. The number of children and the size of your family are also considered important factors for assessing eligibility.

  • What is a Letter of Consent?

    A Letter of Consent (LOC) is a certificate issued by the Ministry of Manpower, Singapore. It grants Long Term Visit Pass holder (LTVP orLTVP+)s and business owners the right to work in a Singapore-based corporation.

    Before May 2021, DP holders could work in Singapore using the LOC.From May 2021 onwards, DP holders wishing to work in the country must apply for the relevant work permit such as the Employment Pass, S Pass or Work Permit. However, DP holders running a business can still apply for the LOC to use as a valid permit to work in Singapore.

  • Who is eligible for a Dependant’s Pass?

    Spouses and children of individuals with an Employment Pass, S Pass, EntrePass or PEP who earn at least $6000 per month can apply for a DP. Spouses must be legally married to a Singapore work pass holder to be eligible for a DP application, a partner who is co-habiting long-term and is therefore regarded as married by common-law, should apply for a Long-Term Social Visit Pass (LTSVP) instead.
