Re: Dependent Pass Minimum Stay
The Dependent Pass is tied directly to your EP. When it epires, their DP also expires. It should be renewed when your EP is renewed.

Re: Dependent Pass Minimum Stay
Are you asking whether the person holding the DP has to be present in Singapore some particular minimum percentage of time? If that's the question, as far as I know there's no minimum as such. There is a practical minimum in order to complete DP-related formalities (i.e. get a DP card).
If the DP holder isn't going to be in Singapore much at all, then why bother with a DP at all? They aren't free, unlike STVPs. And a DP might be inseparable from certain tax consequences.

The DP makes sense to avoid immigration SVP hassles, especially if a visa is required.

A DP will eliminate needless trouble, or irritation or sometimes offloading (yep, some Asian countries do it, offloading an average of 1 passenger per flight seems to be the norm now ... )
