今天在论坛上看到说9月1日关于sp/ep新政策的讨论，又去mom网站看到了关于新加坡家属准证即将从9月1日起施行的新规定，不由得叹一口气。
在2012年之前的规定是，外地人持工作准证EP的按月薪固定收入分为三级：P1的月薪门槛是$8000，可以给配偶，小孩，自己父母或配偶父母申请家属准证；P2的门槛是$4000，可以给配偶，小孩，自己父母申请家属准证；Q1的门槛是$2800，只可以给配偶和小孩申请家属准证。
2012年1月1日起，政策进行了第一次调整：将Q1的门槛提高到$3000，P2的门槛提高到$4500，P1的门槛保持不变（附1）。本来我3月申请EP的时候月薪把差补算进去争取一下还可以够到P2，结果这样门槛提高之后就够不到了，只好申请了Q1的准证。
结果现在又出了新的公告，从2012年9月1日起，持EP的不管是P1/P2/Q1哪个级别，月薪都要达到$4000的门槛，才可以给配偶和小孩申请家属准证；同时，即使是P2也将不能给自己的父母或配偶的父母办理家属准证；P1也被约束到只能给自己的父母办理家属准证（附2）。也就是说：1、收入不到$4000，就没有资格把小孩带过来养；2、即使拿到了P2，也没法把自己的父母接过来在这边长期生活，除非能拿到P1的EP，或者申请下来PR，也就是永久居留身份。
这样一来，我得在宝宝过来之前把自己的EP renew到$4000以上，才可以给宝宝办理在这边的家属准证DP，而且即使我们两人加了工资申请到了P2级别的EP（P1级别暂时就不要想了），也没有可能让父母申请到长期准证LTSVP在这边常住了，他们要么呆满3个月飞机来回，要么只能在家里呆着，小孩我们自己带。虽然也已经做好了这样的心理准备，不过本来还希望够到P2之后可以接父母过来常住的现在也不行了，还是挺郁闷的。我们的薪水啊薪水，在这边毫无竞争力啊，处于政府的扫荡线上，什么时候才能够安稳的扎下根来呢。。。
附1、Enhanced Employment Pass Framework
From 1 January 2012, the qualifying salary for the Q1 Pass will be increased from $2,800 to at least $3,000 for young graduates, while older applicants would have to command a higher salary to qualify, commensurate with the work experience and quality they are expected to bring. The qualifying salary for the P2 Pass will be raised from $4,000 to $4,500. There will be no change in the qualifying salary for P1 Pass which remains at $8,000. Concurrently, educational qualifications requirements will be tightened. For more information, please refer to our press release.
附2、Changes to Dependant Privileges for Work Pass Holders
The Government is tightening the criteria for work pass holders to sponsor dependants as part of the overall direction to moderate the growth of Singapore’s non-resident population. This will help ease the pressure on our social infrastructure. Nonetheless, Singapore remains a global talent capital. We continue to welcome highly skilled foreign professionals who wish to bring their dependants to stay with them.
The changes, from 1 September 2012 are as follows:
- S Pass and Employment Pass (EP) holders need to earn a fixed monthly salary of at least $4,000 to sponsor the stay of their spouses and children here.
- P1 Pass holders will no longer be able to bring in their parents-in-law. They may still bring in their parents, spouses and children.
- P2 Pass holders will no longer be able to bring in their parents or parents-in-law. They may still bring in their spouses and children.
Dependants of EP and S Pass holders who are in Singapore by 1 September 2012 will be allowed to stay in Singapore if these work pass holders have valid passes with their existing employers. For more information, please refer to our FAQs.
