In order for dependants of S Pass holders to work in Singapore, they should apply for a Work Permit (WP), S Pass or an Employment Pass. Each application would be assessed based on its own merits.

Employment/S Pass

DP holders who are successful in their Employment/S Pass applications are required to cancel the DP.

Work Permit

For DP holders who are successful in their Work Permit (WP) applications, the WP's validity period will be tied to that of the S Pass holder's pass.
