Key Points
New vaccination requirements will be introduced for work pass holders in Singapore on 1 October 2022
Overview
On 1 October 2022, the government of Singapore will introduce new vaccination requirements for foreign nationals seeking work passes in the country. On the effective date, holders of a work pass employed in construction, marine shipyards, or process sectors who seek to apply for a new pass or renew an existing pass will be required to be fully vaccinated.
All other pass holders will be required to be fully vaccinated when applying for a new work pass. This includes having received a booster dose within 270 days from the last primary vaccination dose.
Pass holders who were vaccinated overseas must apply for a digital-verifiable vaccination certificate (DVC) that has been verified by a local clinic. For additional information on vaccination status and proof, check here.
