You will need 20 minutes and your company’s Corppass to complete the online licence application.

After you have submitted the licence application with the initial application fee payment, HSA will process the licence application upon receipt of a complete application with all the relevant supporting documents submitted. Do take note that HSA may request for additional documents to review the licence application.

The application will not be processed if there are any missing or incomplete documents or lack of payment.

The payment for the application is split into two payment stages:

a)You will need to make an initial payment of a non-refundable application fee of $60 during the submission of the licence application on our website.

b)Upon approval of the licence application by HSA, you will be notified via email to make the second stage payment of $340 licence fee within a one-month period from the notification date or else the application will lapse.

If the application is rejected by HSA or withdrawn by the applicant, there will be no refund for the collected application fee.

Please take note that it is an offence to commence the sale of tobacco products while the application is being processed by HSA. You are only allowed to engage in the retail sales of the tobacco products after the Tobacco Retail licence number is issued.

After you have made the second stage payment, the application will be approved and the electronic copy of the licence can be downloaded from our website. There will be no issue of a hardcopy licence.
