1. What's your wife's immigration status? Is she on Dependent Pass? Otherwise, this may be relevant:Teja wrote:Hi Friends

Also, you will need to consider the costs and benefits of delivering in SG. Medical expenses, support system (relatives), etc.
2. Your child will be an Indian national. Giving birth in SG doesn't make your child an SC automatically.

Singapore has no welfare system and no citizenship by birth by being born in Singapore


back to OP, with the birth certificate head to Indian High Commission to register the birth.
They will advice the process accordingly.
If you can easily afford the cost of giving birth in Singapore

1. Yes, but you will probably need DP for her. Airlines won't let her fly after 7 months pregnancy, and she will want to be here with baby for a few weeks afterwards. I.e. her stay is > a tourist visa. You will also need to assure the hospital that you are good for all the costs.
2. Baby will be Indian citizen

Airlines now let passengers fly till 35 weeks pregnancy, as long as there is a Gynae certification as safe to travel, especially to Singapore where giving birth has no advantage (other than excellent medical facilities .. )
airline station managers can decide.
Re: Can she travel to Singapore If she is a pregnant?
All the Indians I know go back to India to give birth. It's not just cost, they don't trust the Sg doctors. Actually not just Indians, the Thais I know do the same.

Ah. No. Rajini Kanth came to Singapore because he don't trust Indian doctorsbgd wrote:All the Indians I know go back to India to give birth. It's not just cost, they don't trust the Sg doctors. Actually not just Indians, the Thais I know do the same.

and even for the infamous Delhi case, the victim was flown to Singapore

Indians go to India because the family support, and lower cost

but insist they don't trust the doctors here

Where she died.ecureilx wrote: and even for the infamous Delhi case, the victim was flown to Singapore
The whole idea of transporting an ICU patient in a critical condition on a 6h flight was IMHO utterly stupid contributing to her death.
Re: RE: Re: Can she travel to Singapore If she is a pregnant?
Was assuming she would want to stay in SG longer than a visitor visa. I guess in this case she could apply to extend her stay on medical grounds.ecureilx wrote:
