There is no doubt that Singapore is in its next phase of nation building, and the country is creating more higher-value jobs every year. This is the reason that foreign nationals who wish to relocate or set up a business in Singapore, have a few visa options available.
Other reasons that attract foreigners to work in Singapore also include the open recruitment policies, low personal tax rates and a high standard of living.
A Dependant’s Pass enables the dependant to work, live and study in Singapore. Those who are eligible for it are the family/relatives of a Employment Pass / EntrePass / PEP / S Pass holder.
Before applying for a Dependant’s Pass
What is a Dependant’s Pass?
The Dependant’s Pass (DP) entitles the immediate family members of a work visa (Employment Pass / EntrePass / PEP / S Pass) holder to live in Singapore. To qualify for dependant privileges, the sponsoring work visa holder must have a minimum monthly salary of SGD 6,000 (applicable for Employment Pass / PEP / S Pass). For EntrePass holders, you may only apply for dependant privileges for your immediate family members after a year of holding the EntrePass, and if you meet the requirements for total annual business spending and local employment as seen below. The validity of the Singapore Dependant’s Pass is connected to the validity of the Singapore work visa.
