The Ministry of Manpower<\/a> (MOM) Singapore will be implementing a new requirement for all foreign-born children. Beginning 1 February 2019, all foreign-born children aged 12-years and below must be vaccinated for diphtheria and measles with the Health Promotion Board (HPB) before they can apply for Singapore\u2019s Dependent Pass (DP) or Long Term Visit Pass (LTVP).<\/p>\nFamilies must show evidence of immunity before they can lodge an application for a DP or LTVP with MOM. Foreign children who are born in Singapore or already holding an existing DP or LTVP pass issued before 1 February 2019 will be exempted from this requirement.<\/p>\n
Singapore Ministry of Health (MOH) requires that documentation of diphtheria and measles vaccination be submitted as a pre-requisite for the DP or LTVP application. All foreign-born children aged 12-years and below, and those applying for Singapore\u2019s Student Pass (STP) issued by the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) must submit documentation to show proof of vaccination. These documents will then be verified by the HPB in accordance with the National Child Immunisation Schedule in Singapore.<\/p>\n
Before lodging the application for DP or LTVP, parents will need to access the Verification of Vaccination Requirements eService website (www.nir.hpb.gov.sg\/fcine\/)<\/span> which will be available from 1 February 2019 onwards. You will then be required to register for an account for your application and submit the following documents:<\/span><\/p>\n These documents should be uploaded and submitted through the Verification of Vaccination Requirements eService to Health Promotion Board (HPB), Singapore. The documents submitted to the Immunisation Registration Form must be certified by a doctor, and your child\u2019s vaccination records or evidence of immunity for diphtheria and measles must be submitted to HPB through the Verification of Vaccination. If your child is medically unfit for vaccination, you will need to submit a document certified by a doctor to HPB through the Verification of Vaccination Requirements eService: https:\/\/www.nir.hpb.gov.sg\/fcine\/<\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The processing time for the verification of vaccination records by the HPB takes around 10 working days. Processing times start from the time the completed documents are submitted to HPB. There will be a non-refundable application fee which will be charged. The documents must also be submitted in English. Any documents which are not in English will require a translation. HPB accepts translated copies by the Embassy of the document-issuing country or a local Notary Public, privately translated copies attested by the embassy of the document issuing country or notarized by a local Notary Public You will be notified of the application\u2019s outcome via email.<\/p>\n If your child is aged 12-years and above, however, you do not need to submit vaccination records for HPB\u2019s verification. You can proceed directly to MOM or ICA for application of long HPB\u2019s verification.<\/p>\n The validity period of the \u201cVerification of vaccination requirements (for entry to Singapore)\u201d document differs based on your child\u2019s age:<\/p>\n When applying for a new long-term immigration pass with MOM or ICA, the \u201cVerification of Vaccination Requirements (VR) (for entry to Singapore)\u201d document must be valid. Otherwise, you must re-apply for it with HPB. If the child\u2019s DP has expired before 1 February 2019, the child will need to apply for the HPB\u2019s \u201cVerification of Vaccination Requirements (VR) (for entry to Singapore)\u201d document.<\/p>\n\n
