Is my foreign employee to be covered with COVID-19 insurance when entering Singapore?

As an employer, you are responsible for your workers’ medical expenses. To help you manage these expenses, you must buy a COVID-19 medical insurance for all Work Permit, Training Work Permit and S Pass holders before they arrive in Singapore.

The insurance must meet these requirements:

• Covers at least $10,000 for medical expenses if the worker develops COVID-19 symptoms or tests positive within 14 days of arrival in Singapore.
• Covers workers on in-principle approvals (IPAs).

For all other pass holders (e.g. Employment Pass holders or dependants), they are encouraged to buy medical insurance with the appropriate coverage before entering Singapore. They are responsible for their medical expenses if they develop COVID-19 symptoms or test positive within 14 days of arrival in Singapore.
