i am soooo happy i got this just when i did. my 30-day "social visit" or tourist pass in singapore would have been up on thursday. without the dependant pass, i would have had to exit and re-enter singapore (by way of malaysia would be easiest) just to get another 30-day stay until the dependant pass was approved. yuuuurg hassle.
on this pass, i am considered marlon's dependent, which is pretty much how it is until i get a job. my future employer will have to apply for a letter of consent from the ministry of manpower (every time i say this out loud, i almost say "ministry of magic" -- that's seven volumes of harry potter talking) for me to be able to work.
i am slightly bothered that it's spelled "dependant" instead of "dependent." even blogger spellcheck is flagging it as an error. but whatever. i'm free to stay. yay!
