Dependant’s Pass
If you are applying for or already have an EP or EntrePass in Singapore, you may apply for Dependants’ Passes (DPs) for your spouse and children so that they can come and live with you in Singapore.
Who is eligible for a DP?
Legally married spouse
Unmarried children under 21 years old, including legally adopted children
Other family members (common-law spouse, unmarried handicapped children above 21 years old, unmarried step-children under 21 years old and Parents) may qualify for a Long Term Visit Pass instead.
Each DP is issued with Multiple-Entry Visa, which means a DP holder can travel in and out of Singapore freely. You can apply for a Dependant’s Pass for your family if you meet all these requirements:
Earn a minimum fixed monthly salary of SGD6,000
Has a sponsor from an established, Singapore-registered company (usually your employer)
As an Entrepreneur’s Pass holder, you can only bring your family if you meet the requirements for total annual business spending and local employment:

Can a DP holder work in Singapore?
DP holders are not allowed to work in Singapore. Should they wish to work in Singapore, the prospective employer will have to apply for a work pass (EP, S-Pass or Work Permit) for them.
However, DP holders who wish to operate a business can apply for a Letter of Consent.
