Family passes can be applied for at the same time as the ONE Pass, but the application fees for each family pass may be lost if the ONE Pass application is rejected. A spouse holding a Dependant's Pass can apply for a Letter of Consent (LOC) to work in Singapore. The official source does not state the Dependant's Pass validity period.
