Apart from employment-related passes and long-term passes like PR, other types of Singapore visa applications, such as a tourist visa, do not require a medical check-up.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How long does it take to get my medical examination results?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Processing time varies by clinic, but most results are ready within 1\u20135 working days. Some clinics offer same-day results for an additional fee. Many MOM- and ICA-approved clinics also submit the results directly to the relevant authority, which can speed up your application process.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What should I bring to my medical examination in Singapore?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bring your <\/span><b>passport, in-principle approval (IPA) letter,<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and any <\/span><b>official medical examination forms <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">provided by MOM or ICA.
