Singapore has again been allocated 900 places for the annual Haj pilgrimage in 2027, the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS) announced on Friday (Sept 4).
It said in a press release that the quota was allocated by Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Hajj and Umrah (MOHU).
The allocation is, in turn, administered on a first-come, first-served basis through MUIS' MyHajSG portal.
Applicants who registered before March 7, 2014, will receive their Letter of Intent via the MyHajSG portal from Sept 14 onwards, the council said.
They are also advised to keep their residential address, mobile number, and email address updated in the portal to ensure timely communication.
Enhanced mandatory medical examination process
As announced in 2025, MOHU now requires all prospective pilgrims to undergo an enhanced medical assessment.
This is to certify that they are free from disqualifying chronic conditions, and that they are physically capable of performing Haj independently.
"These requirements are mandatory and must be met for the issuance of a Haj visa," MUIS highlighted.
The conditions that will affect an applicant's fitness for Haj are: failure of any major organs, neurological or psychiatric disorders, and those with active infectious diseases affecting public health.
In addition, prospective pilgrims with high-risk pregnancy or are in their final trimester, have mobility difficulties, or have active cancer conditions and receiving treatment, will be disqualified from performing the Haj.
If they are found with such disqualifying conditions in Saudi Arabia, they will be liable for medical costs not covered by insurance, authorities warned.
To this, the council said it has enhanced its medical assessment process to provide applicants with a consistent assessment of their fitness and ensure compliance with MOHU’s requirements.
It has also appointed medical service providers to conduct medical assessments for prospective Haj pilgrims.
The assessments will include a clinical examination, blood tests, chest X-ray, electrocardiogram (ECG) and mobility assessment.
Those with complex medical conditions will be referred to a medical panel for further assessment.
"This will provide applicants who require further medical review with greater clarity on their fitness to undertake Haj," MUIS explained.
All applicants must complete their assessment by Oct 13 at their own cost and are advised to register for their assessment early.
They will receive their medical reports directly from the appointed providers, and those who are found to be medically fit must accept their Letter of Intent through the portal by Oct 18.
MUIS added in its statement that applicants aged 70 years and above who are certified medically fit will receive priority consideration given the new stringent medical health requirements.
Advisory to applicants
The council also encouraged applicants to be financially, physically, mentally and spiritually for the Haj, adding that members of the public should not engage Haj-related services from any unauthorised individuals or travel agents.
Any encounters with unauthorised individuals or travel agents offering such services should be reported to the police immediately, MUIS said.
新加坡伊斯兰宗教理事会 (MUIS) 周五（9 月 4 日）宣布，新加坡再次获得 900 个 2027 年朝圣名额。
新闻稿称，该配额由沙特阿拉伯朝觐和副朝部（MOHU）分配。
名额分配则通过新加坡伊斯兰宗教理事会 (MUIS) 的 MyHajSG 门户网站，按照先到先得的方式进行。
委员会表示，在 2014 年 3 月 7 日之前注册的申请人将从 9 月 14 日起通过 MyHajSG 门户网站收到意向书。
还建议他们及时在门户网站上更新住宅地址、手机号码和电子邮件地址，以确保及时沟通。
加强强制性体检流程
根据2025年宣布的消息，MOHU现在要求所有未来的朝圣者接受更严格的体检。
这是为了证明他们没有丧失资格的慢性疾病，并且身体上能够独立完成朝觐。
“这些要求是强制性的，必须满足这些要求才能签发朝觐签证，”伊斯兰宗教理事会强调说。
影响申请人朝觐资格的条件有：任何主要器官衰竭、神经或精神疾病，以及患有影响公共健康的活动性传染病。
此外，处于高危妊娠期或妊娠晚期、行动不便、或患有癌症并正在接受治疗的准朝圣者将被取消朝觐资格。
当局警告说，如果在沙特阿拉伯境内发现他们有此类不符合入境条件的状况，他们将承担保险不涵盖的医疗费用。
对此，该委员会表示，已加强其医疗评估流程，为申请人提供一致的健康状况评估，并确保符合卫生部的要求。
它还指定了医疗服务提供商，为即将前往麦加朝觐的朝圣者进行体检。
评估将包括临床检查、血液检查、胸部 X 光检查、心电图 (ECG) 和活动能力评估。
患有复杂疾病的患者将被转介给医疗小组进行进一步评估。
“这将为需要进一步体检的申请人提供更清晰的关于他们是否适合进行朝觐的相关信息，”新加坡伊斯兰宗教理事会（MUIS）解释说。
所有申请人必须在 10 月 13 日前自费完成评估，建议尽早注册参加评估。
他们将直接从指定的医疗机构收到医疗报告，经检查身体合格者必须在 10 月 18 日前通过门户网站接受意向书。
新加坡伊斯兰宗教理事会（MUIS）在声明中补充说，鉴于新的严格医疗健康要求，70岁及以上且经医学鉴定身体健康的申请人将获得优先考虑。
给申请人的建议
委员会还鼓励申请人在经济、身体、心理和精神上为朝觐做好准备，并补充说，公众不应从任何未经授权的个人或旅行社那里获得与朝觐相关的服务。
新加坡伊斯兰宗教理事会（MUIS）表示，任何遇到未经授权的个人或旅行社提供此类服务的情况都应立即向警方报告。
