FYI
Does this apply to all EP and S Pass holders? How will the changes to the
dependant privileges affect existing dependants of EP and S Pass holders?
Ans: The changes will only apply to all dependants of EP and S Pass holders who arrive
in Singapore from 1 Sep 2012. To reduce disruption to families already here or
who have already made plans to arrive soon, dependants of EP and S Pass
holders who are already in Singapore or will be arriving before 1 Sep 2012 will be
allowed to stay as long as the main pass holders have valid passes. This is on the
condition that MOM received the applications for the stay of the dependants before
1 Sep 2012.
Such dependants can also remain in Singapore when the EP or S Pass holder has
his/ her work pass renewed, for all renewals taking place on or after 1 Sep 2012, so
long as the pass holder remains with the same employer.
