No dont have to worry.  The government only prohibits foreigners with TB and/or HIV to work here.

Hi,

You are right.

Just double check with MOM this afternoon.

Aside from TB and HIV as long as doctor certified fit to work then nothing to worry.

THanks for replying

Guys,


Is there any limit to amount of SGD cash that we can bring in to SG?

Afraid if over that limit will be tax by SG Customs upon arrival...

Please advise.

Thanks bro...

Got my IPA and SATA to go in for medical check-up.

Need to bring in some cash to open account and deposit for rooms...

Btw, do you guys normally exchange at the bank itself or at the money changer shop?

Which more worth it?
