A Dependant Pass (DP) enables eligible family members of Employment Pass (EP), EntrePass, and S Pass (SP) holders to reside in Singapore. It is available to legally married spouses and unmarried children under 21, including legally adopted children.
The pass is valid for up to two years and can be renewed, being contingent on the validity of the primary work pass.
DP holders interested in working in Singapore can obtain an Employment Pass (EP), S Pass (SP), or Work Permit (WP) if eligible. Those who wish to start a business can apply for a Letter of Consent.
Validity: The Dependant Pass is usually valid for the same duration as the primary pass holder’s work pass. It is renewable in alignment with the primary pass.
Employment: Spouses holding a Dependant Pass are generally not allowed to work unless they obtain a separate work pass or a Letter of Consent (LOC) from MOM.
Education: Dependants’ children can enroll in local schools and access education services.
