Treatment in Singapore for Canada citizenship

The visa application must be submitted online through one of the authorized visa agents of the consulate.

In addition to the visa, other mandatory requirements for foreigners visiting Singapore are:

• passport with a validity period of at least 6 months;
• return ticket;
• sufficient funds for the declared stay in Singapore and the treatment itself;
• proof from the hospital 
  

Passport control in Singapore is very strict and arrival is not your guarantee of entry permission.

Treatment may last longer than the 30 days provided for by a normal entry permit. If the pre-surgery, surgery, and post-surgery period exceed 30 days, it is possible to extend the legal stay in Singapore by obtaining an additional permit (valid for up to 90 days) from the Singaporean embassy or consulate in the patient's country of residence. If you find out that your treatment requires more time when you are already in Singapore, you can get a special permit from the ICA 

If you are a visitor who intends to give birth in Singapore, you must apply for a permit through a local sponsor.

Please prepare these documents before applying:
