Practice in Singapore

[venkatpt]

Hai Friends

I am a physiotherapist from India with 4 yrs of clinical experience. I want to shift my practice to Singapore. Can anyone let me know the procedures involved in doing so (license exam.....)

Cheers
Venkat

I am a physio from Hong Kong and going to Singapore for my new job.

There are no formal registration process in Singapore. The most important thing is let your employer know your physio course and post-qualification experience is relating to their job requirement.

Perhaps you plan to join the trade union there. They will "accredit" your basic physio training in order to approve your membership.

Hi,

As far as I know is the membership in the SPA not mandatory if you are not looking for a job in a government institution (except as a lecturer at Nanyang Polytechnics) but work for or want to open a private practice. However the latter will be even more complicated regarding immigration, work permit, etc.

When I enquired last time I got the following reply
