Effective May 1, 2021, all Dependent Pass (DP) holders who wish
to be employed during their stay in Singapore will need an
applicable work pass, such as an Employment Pass (EP), S Pass or
Work Permit, instead of a Letter of Consent to Work (LOC).
Existing LOC holders may continue to work until the expiry of
their LOCs. If the existing LOC holders wish to continue working
after the expiry of their LOCs, their employers will need to apply
for an applicable work pass for them. Should the existing LOC
holders and their employers wish to do so, Ministry of Manpower
(MOM) will facilitate their transition to a work pass. However,
please note that the qualifying salary, dependency ratio ceilings,
and/or levies for the respective work passes will apply.
