Here’s what you need to know:

- Required Tests: The examination typically includes: ○ A general physical check-up ○ A chest X-ray to screen for tuberculosis ○ A blood test for HIV
- Approved Clinics: You can get the examination done at any clinic or hospital in Singapore, though it is recommended to use a clinic familiar with Student Pass requirements. Some institutions have a list of recommended clinics.

If your medical report meets the requirements, you can proceed with the collection of your Student Pass.
