Dependant Pass (DP) is issued to the immediate family of the foreigner who has been issued with EP. If the dependant is the child of the foreigner with an EP, he or she must not be more than 21 years old otherwise, the child will be issued with a social pass, which is more costly and need to renew every 12 months. For a VPTE holder, his or her dependant will only be issued with a social pass.
