MoM website stated conflicted statement about medical check up. I read that all work pass should undergo a medical check up. However another source stated that "whether the candidate needs to go for a medical examination, which can be done after arrival in Singapore" which shows that the medical examination are not mandatory.

I consulted with my HRBP regarding this matter and he told me it is rare to undergo a medical check up for an EP holder. I'd like to know whether all EP applications require a medical test or if not, on what basis must a candidate perform a medical check up.

I don't really have an answer but during my first EP granted roughly 3 years ago, I was required to have a medical check up after arriving to Singapore. This time round my EP was approved again but no medical check up required.

@nasilemak123 Only some EP candidates require a medical checkup. The criteria are unknown to us, but your approval letter will tell you whether you need one or not.

@shoponsk69 You are from Bangladesh according to your profile. If your passport application is rejected, you should deal with your country's authorities about it. Or what do you mean?

There is a low chance that you need a checkup if your work is happening 100% at the office, a higher chance if you need to visit some locations outside office environment
