Cancel a Dependant's Pass for Overseas Networks & Expertise Pass holders

If you no longer need your Dependant’s Pass, you need to cancel it within 1 week before your departure. You can then be issued a Short-Term Visit Pass (STVP) to allow you to stay in Singapore before your departure. Once cancelled, please cut the pass card in half and discard it to prevent misuse.
