Hi everyone!

I was recently offered a job in Singapore, but when I checked the requirements to get the work pass, I saw on the MOM's website that it is mandatory to be fully vaccinated against the Covid in order to get the pass.

The problem is, I am not vaccinated against the Covid nor I wish to be (for personal reasons): does that mean that I have to renounce to this job?

I called the local consulate, and they told me that even if in theory the law is that, in practice it is not enforced anymore, so in their experience many non-vaccinated people proceeded to make the Work Pass and had no problems once they were at Singapore. Can you confirm that?

It is not a good idea, with regards to Singapore and its hyper-efficient authorities, to reply on a rule not to be enforced!

Fact is that, under current rules, non-vaccinated foreigners cannot enter the country and work here. So you should probably look for other options (or countries).

Sorry if this is not the answer you were hoping for!
