How does the application work at a high level, what rights does the family member receive, how long does the status last, and how can it become independent or longer-term where officially stated?
Tech.Pass holders can sponsor their spouse, children and parents to stay in Singapore on either a Dependant's Pass (DP) or a Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP) issued by MOM. A legally married spouse and unmarried children under 21 years of age, including those legally adopted, are eligible for a DP; a common-law spouse, unmarried handicapped children aged 21 years and above, unmarried stepchildren under 21 years of age and parents are eligible for an LTVP. The page states that from 28 January 2027 MOM/EDB will no longer accept new and renewal Tech.Pass applications, and that existing Tech.Pass holders can remain on their pass until its expiry. The official source does not state how long the family member's pass lasts, what rights it gives, or how it can become independent or longer-term.
