Can I bring my spouse and children on a Dependant's Pass, and what does it cost?
EP holders earning at least S$6,000 a month can sponsor a spouse and unmarried children under 21 on a Dependant's Pass. The DP application fee is separate from the EP fee, and adding a Letter of Consent so the DP holder can work is a further step — get a quote for your family situation rather than assuming a flat combined cost.
Eligibility
The S$6,000 monthly salary threshold is the fixed criterion — meet it and your spouse and unmarried children under 21 are eligible for Dependant's Passes. Each family member is a separate DP application, and the Dependant's Pass is tied to your EP, so it lapses if your EP ends.
Fees and the Letter of Consent
The DP application fee is charged separately from the EP fee, and it is payable per dependant. If your spouse wants to work in Singapore, a Letter of Consent (LOC) is a separate application with its own requirements and fee. The total cost depends on the size of your family and whether any dependant needs an LOC — so ask for a quote based on your actual situation.
