With a new change of labour laws recently passed by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM), Dependent’s Pass holders will soon require a Work Pass in order to work in Singapore.
In the past, Dependent’s Pass (DP) holders who wished to seek employment in Singapore only required a Letter of Consent (LOC) from the Ministry of Manpower (MOM).
However, with a new change in labour laws – come May 1, 2021 – all DP holders will need to apply for a Work Pass if they wish to work here.
How is a DP different from a work pass?
