You just need to work in a health system comparable to New Zealand for at least three of the last four years. Singapore is one of them

I think you just google where you want to work and see whether the qualification is recognised or not
Having your degree or qualifications does not mean you will be allowed to practise. For Singaporean doctors, common places they go to are Malaysia, HK, Brunei, UK and also lots of 3rd world country who are happy just to have any kind of doctor. Australia and NZ are somewhat more protective of their turf and may not grant you a license.

Postgraduate degrees from that country is not a guarantee. Eg. You can get your specialist certification from Australia but you may not work there just because you have passed it there.

UK is getting worse for non-EU residents. Some Asians were literally terminated on the spot when the EC hiring laws were enforced. Now they have more European doctors who cannot speak good English.

Singapore doctors- where else can they work?

Hello,

Which countries are Singaporean doctors with a medical degree (e.g. NUS or Duke-NUS) allowed to practice in? Have searched the forum but can't cant seem to find information on this.

Additionally, will having a postgraduate degree /specialist training from another country make a difference in this respect?

Thank you very much in advance!
