Singapore medical visa: rules, documents and fees by passport
From Singapore's official government pages, checked 10 Sep 2026. We checked 20 passports: 20 have a verified route, of which 16 need no visa for a short stay. Where a fee is shown it is the government's own figure in the currency it publishes.
What holds for every passport
- •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.
