1. Tuberculosis (TB) Screening
All visa applicants aged 6 years and above are required to undergo a Tuberculosis (TB) screening. This involves a physical examination and a chest X-ray. The purpose of this screening is to detect and prevent the spread of Tuberculosis in Singapore.
2. HIV/AIDS Test
Applicants who are planning to work in certain sectors, such as healthcare or food services, are required to undergo an HIV/AIDS test. This is to ensure the safety of the public and prevent the transmission of HIV/AIDS in the workplace.
3. Hepatitis B Test
Visa applicants who will be working in healthcare or food services are also required to undergo a Hepatitis B test. This is to prevent the transmission of Hepatitis B in the workplace and ensure the safety of the public.
4. Pregnancy Test
Female visa applicants who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant are required to undergo a pregnancy test. This is to ensure the safety and well-being of both the applicant and the unborn child during their stay in Singapore.
It is important to note that these health checks should be conducted at approved medical institutions recognized by the Singaporean authorities. AGT can assist you in finding the nearest approved medical institution and guide you through the entire visa application process.
