I am a S Pass holder in Singapore and work for the same company since September, 2013. After a while starting the job, I got a DP for my wife and she stayed with me till July, 2015. Later my pass was expired in August, 2015 and the company applied for a new pass which is valid until 2018 but I didn't request to renew my wife's DP at that time.
Later I figured out MOM has reviewed their policy of approving DPs where all Work Permit holders should fulfil a minimum monthly income of 5000. Frankly by now I earn less than that. However, I also read on the MOM site and there they say all the renewal application would be treated under the previous policy meaning, as I understood, renewal of DP applications would approve even the monthly income is less than 5000.
Do anyone have an idea on what happen if I apply a DP for my newly born child? Even though my wife has had a DP, my child hasn't had any before. My understanding is even though there is a chance of getting renewed my wife's DP, my child's would be rejected as it is treated as a new application.
Could anyone tell me whether my understanding is correct and will there be any issue if I apply both together and reject my child's one? If rejected, how long would I need to stay to reapply let say, in case of I get a new job offer fulfilling the new income requirement of 5000?
