FAQ

Will the time required for processing my visa be reduced if I need urgent medical attention in Singapore?

If your condition warrants urgent medical treatment and attention, the hospital or the International Patient Service Centre is able to liaise with the immigration authorities (Immigration & Checkpoints Authority) on your behalf to facilitate and expedite the visa process.

If I need urgent medical attention in an emergency, do I have to apply for a visa?

If your condition is critical and requires immediate medical attention, clearance at the checkpoints will be made even if you have not applied for a visa prior to arrival. You will be issued a special pass to allow you passage when you arrive at the checkpoint. However, post-arrival visa formalities will still have to be sorted out after your entry into Singapore.

Do I have to apply for a visa for each visit, especially when I need to be in Singapore frequently for consultation and follow-up treatment?

The healthcare establishment concerned will be able to assist you with your application for Multiple Journey Visas (MJV). Applications for MJV have to be supported by letters from the healthcare establishment explaining the frequency of treatment you require.

I’m a foreigner and would like to give birth in Singapore. Is this possible?
