Dependent Pass
Singapore Dependent Pass
Dependant Pass in Singapore is issued by MOM, allowing qualified professionals with work visas (such as EP) to legally bring their family members (spouses and underage children) to reside in Singapore.
Family members holding the Dependant Pass can reside in Singapore and, upon obtaining the necessary approval, are allowed to work or attend school.
