Hello ,

I just got my EP approved. Here is the timeline

applied/pending - 6th march
approved - 19th march

My question is ,

Along with my EP I also applied for a DP for my wife. Both have been approved and the IPA says its valid till 24th september 2019.
Initially the plan was that my wife will quit her job and come along. However now , she has decided she will work here(in india) for a little longer and probably just visit me for a couple of times.

Is there any requirement that she has to travel along with me for the first time ?
Is it ok if i go first get my EP and then she comes may be 20-25 days later to collect her DP ?

Post she gets the DP , is she free to come and leave singapore whenever she wants without me accompanying her every single time ?

You do not have to accompany her on her travels - she can enter and exit Singapore on her own.
