IF you're coming by EP, sometimes you might not need medical checkup smile.gif

Medical checkup must be done at SG Clinics.

What happens is you'll be given a temporary pass (it's a letter actually) stating you have to complete certain things like submitting your visitor pass (that white card you get when you come into SG), do medical checkup (if required) and handover your passport ( to put that MOM chop).

BTW, there are a few types of permits / pass in SG. Do take note which one you're applying for.
*
Everytime you apply/renew EP you must go through the medical checkup.

This is so they can spot you HIV/AIDS people and tell you to get lost.

Your record stays in the database and forever blacklisted from Singapore.

They don't want you to have to subsidize your healthcare.

Care to explain why/what condition that you don't need medical checkup ?


If you already got your EP, fast fast apply for PR and then you no need anymore checkup.

EP application/renewal always must take medical checkup.


Good luck, hope the medical staff find your vein easily otherwise poke 3-4 times and blood shoot everywhere and you get bruises.

Sure you can, but you still must be tested for HIV/AIDS.

My application for SPR has been approved. Where can I go for my medical examination?
The Clinical Examination may be done in Singapore by any registered General Practitioner (GP) and the HIV test performed by the GP MUST be sent to any of the HIV clinical laboratories approved by MOH. GPs may refer to MOH's website at http://www.moh.gov.sg/mohcorp/hcfacilities.aspx?id=7782# for the list of approved HIV clinical laboratories. Applicants who are in their home countries/places of residence may have their Clinical Examination and HIV test done in their home countries/places of residence at any medical clinic licensed to carry out such tests.

Why not go for a free medical checkup once in a while? Since your company will pay for it tongue.gif  No harm done, rite?

Why are you guys so ignorant ?

If the company pays for it, don't you think they would know about your status and if it's not good, they will most likely discriminate against you ?

Don't you know your results are sent right to the employer if they're the ones paying for it ?

Don't you people have any sense of privacy at all ?

Why so many asians are such greedy people at the expense of their own dignity, spine and backbone ?

Don't you know about privacy and confidential? How would they know someone's medical status in the first place? hmm.gif  Please lar... who said results will be sent to the employers, if they are paying for it? If that's really the case, people will go and sue the practitioners for doing such unetiquette practices. Common sense, common sense please... rclxub.gif

Pre-employment checkups means your EMPLOYER wants to KNOW your medical results before deciding to hire you or not.

Sue ? Singapore has even less rights for workers lah. Same 3rd world mentality.

Pre-employment checkups are usually to evaluate if you qualify for the company's health plan insurance. The results are sent not to your prospective employer, but to the insurance company providing coverage to them.

Anyway, it's very simple for you. Simply read whatever they ask you to sign lah.

And do you think one can reject the company's insurance plan ?
