Dependent Pass for children outside of marriage
Dependent Pass for children outside of marriage
Hi Guy....
I am on EP (P1)...Is it possible to apply DP for children outside of marriage...? I couldn't find anybody have similar issue. Thanks

It may be possible as long as your name is on the child's birth certificate as the father. PNGMK might be the one who could best answer your question though as he's been through the ropes here before I believe as well as via adoptions as well. Hopefully he will see this post.

I am in a similar situation except myself and my fiancee are both PR.
We had a son in Singapore, applied for PR and LTVP.
Both denied.
Appealed...denied.
No explanation given as to why.
I am a NZ/UK citizen, my fiancee Filipino.
We have to take our son to JB every 2 months to get a tourist visa, and inbetween we need to go to ICA to extend in Singapore (can only extend once, then you need to leave Sg to renew).
We have no idea what the singapore gov problem is with a baby born here to two PR?

Probably the fact that you two are not married and the government doesn't want to be the host of a custody battle that may or may not happen in the future. The problem, as I see it, is who do they give custody to on the pass? Are both names on the child's Birth Certificate? Does the Child have dual citizenship? Whole can of worms. Get married and I doubt that you will have a problem.

Hi SMS, thank you for your reply.
Both parents are named on his birth certificate, and he is a dual national of UK/Philippines by descent.
I guess, as you have noted, that we must get married sooner, rather than later.
Whilst I do understand that Singapore Gov maintains a typically old-fashioned view on cohabitation, it does feel quite inequitable that a baby is victimized in the process.
