Foreign-born children aged 12 and below applying for a new Singapore Dependant’s Pass (DP) must meet vaccination requirements set by the National Immunisation Registry (NIR). For Japanese families, this often means translating vaccination records into English and ensuring they align with Singapore’s national immunisation schedule. VisaOne simplifies this process by handling translations, NIR submissions, and the full Dependant Pass application on your behalf.
