Visa for treatment in Singapore

  • Every traveller submits the SG Arrival Card within 3 days before arriving, counting the day of arrival. It is free, and it is not a visa.
  • To stay longer for treatment, ask your doctor in Singapore to endorse Form V75, the application to extend your stay on medical grounds.

We checked 20 passports against Singapore's official pages (10 Sep 2026): 20 have a verified route, 16 of them needing no visa for a short stay. Singapore medical visa: rules, documents and fees by passport

Your care journey to Singapore, from your city

A sourced treatment range from the table above, plus flights from your city, a room near the hospital after care, food and local transport for the patient and any companion. Each line carries its source. The passport picker below is separate: your city only suggests one.

Choose your city to price the flight. The stay, food and local transport lines are shown once an origin is chosen, so the table is always for a whole journey. Nothing is priced until you choose.

TravelVulture is an information and discovery service, not a medical provider, hospital, or insurer. We do not give medical advice or arrange treatment, and we do not endorse any hospital. Accreditation lapses on a fixed cycle, always re-verify a hospital's current status on the official registry (JCI: jointcommission.org, NABH: nabh.co) and confirm all prices, treatment plans, and insurance coverage directly with the hospital's international patient office before making any decision or travelling.
