The SGD 205 headline covers single S Pass holder, no dependants, excluding ongoing employer levy. Of the 5 components listed above, 2 are mandatory and 3 are optional add-ons (such as priority processing) you can choose to skip. The single biggest mandatory line is S Pass application at SGD 105.
Bringing family changes the total — see the dependant section below. Treat the figure as a planning estimate rather than a quote: confirm each line on the official source linked below on the day you pay, because these fees are revised regularly.
Dependant fees
Dependants of eligible S Pass holders apply under the Dependant Pass route and have separate MOM fees: SGD 105 application, SGD 225 issuance, and SGD 30 Multiple Journey Visa if required.
Why fees change
MOM fee amounts, S Pass levy rates, quota rules, and qualifying salaries are policy-set rather than indexed. The levy was harmonised at SGD 650/month from 1 September 2025; verify the MOM application and quota/levy pages before filing.
