Dependant Pass Application

Upon your inquiry, we will provide the following within 1 working day :

Upon confirmation of your eligibility and acceptance of quotation, we will require the documents listed in step 3 from you, depending on the type of pass you are applying for.

Upon checking and finalising all requested documents, we will proceed your work pass through the online application process:

• A draft copy of the work pass application will be sent to you for confirmation.
• Most applications will take 3 weeks for processing upon submission to MOM.

• Once the Dependant pass application is approved, you will receive an In-Principle Approval (IPA) letter from us, which serves as a pre-approved single-entry visa for the applicant to enter Singapore.
• This IPA letter is valid for 6 months for the applicant to come to Singapore and get the pass issued. It also states whether the candidate needs to go for a medical examination, which can be done after arrival in Singapore.

• If your application is rejected, you have 3 months to appeal. We will assist you in appealing your application by addressing the reasons for rejection.
• Appeals take at least 3 weeks or longer.
