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.

4000月薪以下的以后只能孤身一个人在坡县奋斗了。。。如果老婆孩子或者老公还没有申请DEPENDENT PASS的抓紧的，9月以后就拿不到了。

8000月薪以下的就别指望能让父母过来帮忙带孩子了。。。

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.

3K拿EP只是相对本地文凭毕业的新人，外国有经验的又没有本地学历的需要更高的薪水才能拿到EP，还要看毕业院校的排名。4K硕士拿SP也不新鲜了。。。

跟PR木关系，理论上PR父母来没问题，但实际上DPR的父母过来也很难很难
