Dependant's Pass Letter of Consent (LOC) work pathway tightened

In force Visa & immigration

From May 2024, MOM further tightened the Letter of Consent pathway under which Dependant's Pass holders could work in Singapore. New LOCs are issued only in narrowly-defined situations; most DP holders seeking work must apply for a substantive work pass (EP/S Pass) in their own right. Existing LOCs remain valid for the duration of the underlying DP.

Who it affects

Dependant's Pass holders previously working in Singapore via LOC.
