Applications for Early Vaccination in Singapore

Dear Members,

We would like to share that MOH will now be considering the appeals of those who have an urgent need to travel overseas for formal education or to move overseas for work, or travel to visit or care for a critically ill immediate family member, or for their own medical treatment if it cannot be accessed in Singapore.

The form can be accessed at vaccine.gov.sg/appeal and successful applicants will be notified by email.

At this time, MOH is approving appeals only for Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents based in Singapore who meet the following criteria:

(a) Those who have an urgent need to take up or complete a formal education/vocational programme overseas where
• Physical presence in the foreign institution is required to start/complete course,
• Physical presence in the foreign institution is required for course examination, or
• Physical presence is required to gain entry to the institution.

(b) Those who wish to travel overseas to visit or care for a critically ill immediate family member, or to seek medically necessary treatment that cannot be reasonably received in Singapore.

Applications with no supporting documents attached will not be entertained. All other applications will be considered on an exceptional basis only.

MOH will prioritize applicants who are able to receive the full COVID-19 vaccination. Please note that for the current vaccines available, two doses are required three to four weeks apart, and require a further two weeks after the second dose to be fully effective. To provide sufficient lead time for processing and scheduling, you should submit your request at least 8 weeks before departure from Singapore.

Submission of this form does not guarantee prioritization for vaccination. Successful applicants will be notified by email. Re-appeals will not be entertained unless there are new grounds for consideration.

We hope everyone is keeping safe in the meantime!
