Hi all,
Singapore is already busy working on the medical! This is before the application has processed in Canada and that is a good sign Singapore is fast. My wife has inactive TB - declared on the Medical (done in Bali) with proof of treatment.
They have asked for another x-ray and sputum test from my wife or an x-ray from 6 months ago. Luckily we have an x-ray taken last year in Qatar. I will see a DPM in Qatar and have it sent to Singapore. I almost sent it myself but that would have been a mistake.....follow the rules!
In addition, Qatar Immigration did extended examinations last year when we got my wife's permanent Qatar visa. I will get the Qatar DPM to explain the rigorous process employed by Qatar. We had provided the Qatar Medical card at the time of the exam but I do not thing the Indo DPM understood the meaning. Will try again.
If we are required to do additional medicals, it would add about another month, maybe 2 so not to bad. TB is serious and my wife has an x-ray every year to check. At the moment she is in Indonesia but will join me in Qatar next month.
