On May 1, 2021, new regulations took effect for Dependent's
Pass (DP) holders, which requires them to obtain a Work Permit,
Employment Pass or S pass in order to work in Singapore. However,
the Ministry of Manpower has relaxed certain rules for applicants
to make it easier to obtain these passes and to gain
employment.
Key Points
- DP holders applying for Work Permits are no longer required to
submit security bonds or medical examinations every six
months.
- Female DP holders do not have to adhere to pregnancy
restrictions.
- DP holders' Work Permit's validity period will coincide
with the validity of their Dependent's Pass.
- DP holders working under a Letter of Consent who will be
applying for a Work Permit must submit applications early because
their DP must have a minimum validity of at least four months at
the time of applying.
