Compassionate Leave

Compassionate leave allows an inmate to:

• Visit a family member* who is dangerously ill either at home or in the hospital or at any other place in Singapore
• Pay last respects to a deceased family member

*Family member is defined as a family line of descent which includes great-grandparents and grandparents (both paternal and maternal), parents, siblings (including step-siblings), spouse, children (including step-children), grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Family members who wish to apply for compassionate leave may do so electronically via this form:

• Compassionate Leave Form (SingPass)
• Compassionate Leave Form (Without SingPass)

Alternatively, family members may proceed to Prison Link Centre Changi during operating hours or the Changi Complex Main Entrance (located next to Prison Link Centre Changi) during non-operating hours with the following documents:

1. Original NRIC of the applicant;
2. Original documents proving the relationship between the inmate and the family member who is certified to be dangerously ill or has passed away; and
3. Original copy of the medical memo or Death Certificate

For applications being made in-person at the Prison Link Centre Changi, please approach the counter staff to fill up an application form.

Applications for compassionate leave are subject to approval.
