Can the family of a Singapore Employment Pass holder live in Singapore too?

Yes, Employment Pass (EP) or S Pass holders with a fixed monthly salary of S$6,000 or more can apply for a Dependant's Pass (DP) for their legal spouse and unmarried children under 21.

The salary criterion is based on the main applicant's own fixed monthly salary, not combined household income. A company registered in Singapore (usually the employer) sponsors the application, and approval depends on MOM's review.

• If the company director applies together with an Employment Pass: the family's DP is usually applied for after the director's own Employment Pass is approved.
• If the main applicant's pass ends: the DP is tied to the main applicant's pass, so it must be dealt with at the same time.

Lee Kim Alliance provides an Employment Pass application service.
