Visitor Seeking Permission to Give Birth in Singapore

If you are a female visitor and there are more significant chances that you might give birth to a child in Singapore itself, then in such a situation, you must first get permission from the local sponsor.

What are the Documents required?

Here is the checklist of the supporting documents that every foreign applicant (female) should have while getting the permission:

Documents need to be submitted by the foreign applicant (mother) who intends to give birth to a baby in Singapore:

• Must have the photocopy of the biodata page of the valid passport

• You should have a photocopy of the passport biodata page of the spouse with whom you’re married.

• You must have a disembarkation/embarkation card that you have received while applying for a visit pass to arrive in Singapore.

• Must have valid marriage certificate if any

• The foreign female applicants must have the document from the locally registered doctor that mentions the delivery date and provide information if there are any pregnancy problems.

• You must have the letter from your country’s embassy or High commission mentioning that the newborn child of the foreign applicant will only acquire the applicant’s nationality, and the child will be issued with a valid passport or travel document.

• A recent passport-size digital-cultured photograph of the applicant was taken in the previous three months.

Singapore citizens or Singapore permanent residents willing to sponsor the foreign applicant need to submit a valid Singapore identity card.

Note: Always remember to apply for a long-term visit past ten days prior to your Singapore visit pass expiry. As you know, without a valid visit pass, no visitors are allowed to enter Singapore. This means the foreign female applicant must have a valid visit pass throughout their stay in Singapore. Also, the applicant must hold a valid passport issued by their name.
