Medical requirements

Which Aviation Medical Certificate (AMC) should I apply for

If you are applying for any of the CAAS Flight Crew or Air Traffic Controller licences, you must hold a valid Medical Assessment of the relevant class.

For detailed requirements, refer to Aviation Specifications 8 - Licensing Medical Examinations and Aeromedical Reviews.

What documents do I bring

When attending a Licensing Medical Examination (LME)

Bring the following documents:

• Your Singapore NRIC or FIN (foreign applicants without a FIN must bring their passport)

• Your current aviation licence (CAAS or foreign), if any, and

• Any medical or investigation reports about your condition. Reports must be dated within 90 days immediately prior to the date of the LME for them to be acceptable, if required to reflect your current status.

When attending an Aeromedical Review (AR)

You must bring the original medical reports from your treating physician detailing your condition and treatment, including any related investigation and therapy documentations. Your Designated Aviation Medical Examiner (DME) will advise you if there are any additional reports required during the AR session.

If you have questions about the documents required, contact the Civil Aviation Medical Examination Centre (CAMEC).

What are the fees and processing time

Must I pay for an AMC

You must pay a fee to CAAS for each AMC application.

The fee, set out in the Air Navigation (67 – Aviation Medical Certification) Regulations 2026 Second Schedule is S$141.70 (inclusive of GST), payable at the time of application regardless of the outcome.

Please note that a professional and service fee is payable directly to the DME, and is not collected by CAAS.

How long must I wait for an AMC to be issued

After your DME submits the completed LME report to CAAS, your AMC application will be evaluated and processed within 10 working days in most cases.

Complex cases may take longer. For renewals, please schedule your LME early within the 45-day renewal window to ensure sufficient processing time before the expiry of your existing AMC.
