Fully vaccinated to apply for new passes. |
Vaccination will continue to be a requirement for the renewal of existing work passes for these two groups as their worksites and dormitories are settings with a higher risk of disease transmission.
There is no need to upload the applicant’s vaccination certificate in MOM’s work pass systems.
At the point of pass application, employers will be required to make a declaration that their work pass holders and dependants are fully vaccinated. Employers must ensure that their pass holders get their vaccination record updated in the National Immunization Registry to get their passes issued or renewed.
Yes. However, the pass holder is required to comply with the vaccination requirements (i.e.
fully vaccinated with a vaccine on the
WHO EUL list) in order to get their passes issued.
Pass holders under 13 (based on birth date) can hold MOM passes without meeting the vaccination requirements.
Your pass holder can be exempted if they are medically ineligible for COVID-19 vaccination. They need to undergo a medical review with a Singapore-registered doctor upon arrival. If the Singapore-registered doctor does not exempt them, they must undergo the full vaccination regime within 30 days. The vaccination status will then be reflected in their HealthHub app or TraceTogether app.
Records of
WHO EUL COVID-19 vaccines will be updated into the NIR upon a positive serology test result or verification of
digitally-verifiable vaccination certificates.
Verification of overseas vaccination is to be done at a local clinic. You can also refer to the list of clinics that may provide such services. Please call beforehand to check that the clinics offer these services.
Work Permit and S Pass holders employed in the CMP sectors or staying in dormitories must be fully vaccinated to renew their passes.
They should return to Singapore at least 1 month before their passes expire to verify their vaccination status with a local clinic. They can then get their passes renewed in Singapore.
Otherwise, please cancel their passes and re-apply for them when they are ready to work in Singapore.
Recovered pass holders are considered to have completed their primary vaccination series if they meet any of the following:
- Completed the primary vaccination before being infected with COVID-19
- Received a valid dose of an mRNA or Nuvaxovid vaccine or, two valid doses of a Sinovac/Sinopharm after being infected with COVID-19.
They will need to take the booster dose within 270 days of their last primary vaccination dose to maintain their fully vaccinated status.
Please refer to the FAQs on the MOH website for more information.
If the pass holders have received two or more doses of the Sinovac-CoronaVac vaccine as part of a three-dose primary vaccination series, they should receive a booster dose of either the Pfizer-BioNTech / Comirnaty or Moderna/Spikevax or Nuvaxovid vaccine.
These recommendations for Sinovac-CoronaVac also similarly apply to Sinopharm.
Please refer to the FAQs on the MOH website for more information.
Individuals who are eligible for their booster dose will be invited to be vaccinated, from five months after their second dose. All individuals, who are eligible for COVID-19 vaccination may receive their vaccination and booster dose at any of the COVID-19 vaccination locations.
Please refer to the FAQs on the MOH website for more information.
