If you have a dependent pass, you are consider Singapore resident and not an international patient.

if you are keen on KK, I can find out ..Nidhi123 wrote:Thanks for your reply.
I called KK hospital and they told me that according to government rule, I can only visit government hospitals till 6th month of pregnancy. They do not take pregnant patients after 6th month. So I cannot go to any government hospital.
I am trying in Mount Alvernia and raffles hospital.
I want to stay with my husband after delivery as he is working in singapore. If I deliver in malaysia, I have to stay here for next 6 to 8 months.
Thanks
did you call them directly seeking private consult ? as a foreigner, you need to seek as private consultNidhi123 wrote:Thanks.
I wanted to see Dr. Shefali Tagore from KK hospital.
Please let me know if I can still try in KK hospital.
Thank you very much

to Nidhi123 : any hospital will admit you, from Govt to Private.
just remember the cost of delivery here .. keep aside 5,000$ or more, .. and pray all goes well ..
I wonder why you don't want to deliver in Malaysia .. which will be much much cheaper, for equivalent facility ..
Why dont you arrive into Singapore before the 6th month and consult with your chosen doctor at KK?Nidhi123 wrote:Thanks for your reply.

The link is for foreigners who have no status in Singapore. It is not relevant to Dependent pass holders. Dependent pass holders have the right to live in Singapore as long as their pass is active as well as deliver a baby in Singapore.Nidhi123 wrote:Thanks for your reply.
I am already seven months pregnant. I did not know about this rule.
I wrote an email to KK hospital last month to get Dr. Shefali Tagore appointment but I did not receive any response.
when I called their helpline number they told me that we do not take patients after six months of pregnancy. I am trying for other hospitals as well.
I was worried that as I have dependent visa I need approval for delivering baby in sinagpore.
Please see attached website link to Singapore Immigration & Custom Authority on requirement for foreigner delivering new born in Singapore:
http://www.ica.gov.sg/page.aspx?pageid=237&secid=338
I just wanted to confirm that as a dependent visa holder I do not need approval. I am still trying for KK hospital.
Please let me know if you have any information about it.
Thanks
