Please inform the HR of your employer and let them find out if this could be hindrance during your pass approval process and what鈥檚 the current process at employer鈥檚 HR policy if any such issue came into pic during visa processing. Good luck

I too had fibrosis scar in my upper left lungs and a cousin of mine due to tubercolosis. Ours are treated but unfortunately leaved a mark. My cousin is still working here in F&B while I used to work in Insurance also here in SG. The doctor will ask your previous Xray result and film to determine if there are changes or growth in your scar.

For visiting purposes should be okay. But, for safer side, drop a mail to ICA to get an email confirmation prior to your visit. Good luck

You have to pass a medical check and be certified fit for work, in order to get a Singapore work pass.
If yours is just a scar, and not an active infection, thgis should be o.k. But it is better to bring a declaration by the treating doctors, showing that you are cured.

@yayansky18 This is an old thread and the user you refer to, Sivaramakrishnan, last posted five years ago. I thus think it is unlikely that you will get a reply!
