A Singapore Dependant’s Pass (DP) is a visa issued to certain family members of Employment Pass and S Pass holders. It allows them to stay in Singapore for up to 2 years, depending on the validity of the main work pass. Dependant’s Pass holders can also operate a business in Singapore.
DP holders can apply for permanent residence (PR) in Singapore together with the Singapore main work visa holder in due course.
