Conversion from Special Pass to DP

Hi All,


I am currently on an EP. The renewal of EP is taking longer than intended due to projection approvals for next year. My employer is considering opting for a special pass as my EP expires in the early weeks of January.


Given the uncertainty, I am considering moving to a DP to continue my stay with my family.


  • Does anyone know if I can move from a Special Pass to DP?
  • Also, can it be done without exiting the country if moving from a Special Pass to DP?
