Dependant's Pass and Long-Term Visit Pass for family of work pass holders
The Dependant's Pass lets the legally married spouse and unmarried children under 21 of an Employment Pass or S Pass holder live in Singapore. The main pass holder must earn a fixed monthly salary of at least S$6,000 and be sponsored by an established Singapore-registered company. Common-law spouses, step-children, handicapped children 21 and over, and (for higher earners) parents may get a Long-Term Visit Pass instead. Since 1 May 2021 most dependants need their own work pass to work.
