A Dependant Pass is a type of visa that enables eligible dependents, of certain work pass holders working in Singapore, to live in the country for the duration of the main work pass’ validity period.
The employer or corporate secretary provider must file the DP application for the spouses and unmarried children of work pass holders, such as EntrePass, Employment Pass (EP), Personalised Employment Pass (PEP), Overseas Network and Expertise Pass (ONE Pass Singapore), and S Pass holders.
The validity of the Dependent Pass matches that of the primary work pass.
The eligibility criteria for Dependent Pass (DP) in Singapore are as follows:
- The applicant must be the legal spouse or unmarried child (below 21 years old) of a Work Pass holder in Singapore.
- The Work Pass holder must earn a minimum monthly salary of SGD 6,000.
- In the case of EntrePass holders must meet an annual business spending minimum of $100,000, year 2 renewal criteria and employee criteria for their business.
What is a LOC and when do you need it?
The Singapore Letter of Consent (LOC) is a document issued by the MOM that allows eligible DP, Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP) or LTVP+ holders to work in Singapore without the need for a separate work visa. The LOC is usually tied to the validity of the holder’s work pass or the sponsoring employer.
The following individuals are eligible to apply for an LOC:
Holders of Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP) or LTVP+
Issued by the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority of Singapore (ICA)
Workers with a job offer from a Singapore employer
Legal spouses of ONE Pass holders
