Can I work in Singapore?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Hospital offer first; it registers you with the Nursing Board (equivalent training, valid licence, maybe an exam) and sponsors an S Pass (SGD 3,300+) or Employment Pass.
Before you apply: Nurses, doctors and most allied health staff must be registered or licensed locally before they start: expect checks on your degree and licence, often an English test, and often an exam or an assessment. Ask the employer who handles it and how long it takes. Most pharma and device office jobs do not need it.
Watch for: Only healthcare institutions with inpatient services can bring in foreign nurses, and the Singapore Nursing Board deals with their HR teams only, never with agents.
Official source: Singapore Nursing Board: foreign-trained nurses and midwives. Checked November 2026.
What the job usually comes with in Singapore
Usual for Healthcare jobs in Singapore, varies by employer. Checked November 2026.
| Registration | Hospital applies to the Nursing Board for you: training, licence, practice in last 5 years; maybe an exam |
|---|---|
| Relocation | Work Permit staff: employer pays levy, bond and insurance (by law); relocation help is an expat perk |
| Housing | Public hospital groups offer foreign nurses a housing allowance (Ministry of Health, May 2023) |
| Flights | Work Permit staff: flight home paid by the employer (by law); others only if the offer says so |
| Contract | Work Permit up to 2 years; S Pass and Employment Pass up to 2, then 3; notice 1 day to 4 weeks by default |
| Leave | 7 to 14 days (by law; many get more); 11 public holidays; 14 days' sick leave, 60 in hospital |
| Income tax | 0% up to SGD 20,000 a year, then 2% to 24% (about 3% at SGD 60,000); resident rates on a 1-year pass |
Senior staff often get more than line staff, for example a single room or a yearly home flight. Ask the employer what the job includes before you accept.

About Eastern General Hospital
Eastern General Hospital is a planned public hospital serving Singapore's eastern region and is being developed within the SingHealth healthcare network. The hospital is intended to expand access to acute and community care, support an ageing population and strengthen coordination between hospital, primary and community services. Its planning office is responsible for establishing the systems, facilities, governance structures and operating standards required before opening. Roles connected with accreditation and licensing are therefore important in preparing the organisation for regulatory approval, clinical safety requirements and operational readiness. As part of Singapore's public healthcare system, the hospital is expected to work closely with the Ministry of Health, SingHealth institutions, community partners and healthcare professionals. Employees can expect a structured, multidisciplinary environment with opportunities to contribute to the design and launch of a major healthcare facility.
