Typically, Dependant\u2019s Pass applications take three to six weeks to process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the Dependant\u2019s Pass is submitted alongside a work visa application, results typically come at the same time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here is a list of documents that you will need to bring with you when you collect your Dependant\u2019s Pass:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In-Principal Approval (IPA) letter<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your or your child\u2019s travel document (passport)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Any other documents requested in the IPA letter, such as medical test reports, embarkation\/disembarkation cards, etc.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\"><div class='code-block code-block-44' style='margin: 8px 0; clear: both;'>\n<p><button class=\"mo-modal-open\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-4633\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Blog-Banner_Singapore_4.jpg\" alt=\"Blog Banner Singapore 4\" width=\"1138\" height=\"493\" \/><\/button><\/p><\/div>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Benefits of Singapore\u2019s Dependant\u2019s Pass Scheme<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apart from bringing your family to Singapore, there are many other benefits that come with the Dependant\u2019s Pass Scheme. From access to top educational institutions to healthcare facilities, here are some of the benefits associated with the Dependant Pass Scheme:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Education: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dependant\u2019s Pass holders may apply for admission to local schools and universities in Singapore, subject to admission processes and availability.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Healthcare: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dependant\u2019s Pass holders can access Singapore\u2019s healthcare system; however, government healthcare subsidies and many schemes are reserved mainly for citizens (and, to a lesser extent, permanent residents), so DP holders should plan for private insurance and out-of-pocket costs.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Social activities: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Family members are eligible for a range of social activities, including sports clubs and community events.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dependant\u2019s Pass holders who wish to work generally must obtain their own qualifying work pass (e.g., Employment Pass, S Pass or Work Permit). The previous wide use of Letters of Consent (LOC) for DP spouses ended from 1 May 2021, except for specific DP business-owner cases that meet MOM\u2019s criteria.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Renewal and Cancellation of Dependant\u2019s Pass<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Dependant\u2019s Pass can be renewed before expiration using the same process and documents. We recommend that you apply at least two months early.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In some cases, a Dependant\u2019s Pass may be canceled. This may happen if the primary pass holder\u2019s own pass is canceled, if the family member no longer meets the eligibility criteria, or if the family member violates Singapore laws or regulations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where a DP holder secures an EP or S Pass to work, the DP is typically cancelled upon issuance of the work pass.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\"><div class='code-block code-block-43' style='margin: 8px 0; clear: both;'>\n<p><button class=\"mo-modal-open\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-4633\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Blog-Banner_Singapore_3.jpg\" alt=\"Blog Banner Singapore 3\" width=\"1138\" height=\"493\" \/><\/button><\/p><\/div>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Frequently Asked Questions<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3><b>When is the right time to apply for a Dependant\u2019s Pass for family members in Singapore?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We recommend that you apply for a Dependant\u2019s Pass with or right after your Work Pass to avoid delays.
