  • Societies registered with the Registrar of Societies.

Who is not eligible to hold this licence?

What are the licence fees?

What laws & regulations do I have to comply with before I can obtain this licence?

  1. Before applying, you must secure a location for your food stall and obtain approvals, if needed, from other authorities (e.g. change of use from the Urban Redevelopment Authority).
  2. You must ensure that the design and layout of your food stall complies with the Code of Practice on Environmental Health.
  3. All food handlers must be registered with NEA. When you apply for the licence, you will need to provide details of at least one registered food handler.
  4. If you are self-employed (e.g. sole-proprietors), you must also ensure that you have no outstanding CPF Medisave liabilities before applying or renewing your licence.

Things to note

  • Your licence may be revoked or suspended by NEA if you accumulate more than 12 points in 12 months under the Points Demerit System (PDS).
  • Only Singapore Citizens or Permanent Residents are allowed to work at food stalls. Food Stall Licensees cannot employ foreigners holding Work Permits. Only Food Shop Licensees can hire foreign workers.
  • If you are taking over an existing food stall, please make sure that the previous operator has terminated his/her Food Stall Licence.
