About this Visa
The Dependant's Pass lets your spouse and children live with you in Singapore while you work there. You must already have a Singapore work visa (Employment Pass, S Pass, or similar) to get this for your family. Your family members depend on your job—if you leave Singapore or lose your job, their visa ends too. This visa is only for family reunification. Your family cannot work automatically; they need separate permission. Your family can study, but working requires additional approval.
Key Benefits
- Live legally in Singapore with spouse and children
- Children can attend Singapore schools
- Access to subsidized healthcare (if employer provides insurance)
- Travel in and out of Singapore freely
- Path to permanent residence after 2+ years
