昨天,大家的朋友圈都开炸了吧?
相信已经有一批SP、EP工作者已经哭晕在厕所~
没错,昨天新加坡人力部宣布重大消息,针对外籍员工家属准证的政策将做出新的调整,具体官方内容如下:
作为定期更新的一部分,新加坡人力部重新审视了工作准证持有者为家属申请准证的资格。从2018年起,如果新加坡工作准证持有者想为其配偶和孩子申请家属准证,最低工资必须达到6000新币以上才行。而如果要为父母申请家属准证,则要达到12000新币以上才行。
此项规定是从2018年开始,若是今年申请,依旧是按照旧规则行事。
相关的Q&A如下:
Q1– What are the main changes to the dependant privileges for Employment Pass(EP)/S Pass holders from 1 Jan 2018?
(从2018年1月起,EP、SP持有者的权利将会有什么主要变化?)

$12,000 to bring in their parents (onLong Term Visit Pass).
(从2018年1月起,EP、SP持有者需要薪酬至少达到6000新币,才能为其配偶和孩子申请家属准证DP,若要为父母申请LTVP,薪酬水平12000新币以上才行。)
