What licence should a massage place have?

  • Massage Establishment Licence (Category 1 or 2)

    Singapore Police Force – Police Licensing & Regulatory Department · Required by law

    Required to run a business providing massage in an establishment. Category 1 (HDB shophouses, malls, hotels, min. 100 sq m) and Category 2 (non-residential locations, min. 50 sq m, CaseTrust accreditation required). From the second half of 2026, licensed outlets must display a Police-issued poster with the licence number and a URL to report breaches.

    Check the official register

  • Exempted open-concept massage establishment (moving to Category 3 licence)

    Singapore Police Force · Required by law

    Open-concept outlets with no rooms, partitions or cubicles have been exempt from licensing if they notify the Police. SPF announced in April 2026 that this exemption ends in the second half of 2026; such outlets will need a new Category 3 licence, with a grace period for existing operators.

  • CaseTrust Accreditation for Spa and Wellness Businesses

    Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) · Optional accreditation

    Voluntary for most outlets (mandatory for Category 2 massage licensees). Accredited businesses must insure customers' prepaid packages and offer a cooling-off period of at least five working days for unused services.

How to choose a massage place

  • Prefer pay-per-visit. If you buy a package, keep it to a few months' use, buy from a CaseTrust-accredited business, and ask for the prepayment protection insurance certificate that accredited spas must issue.
  • Look for the licence. Licensed outlets display their Massage Establishment licence; from late 2026 every licensee must show a Police-issued shopfront poster with the licence number.
  • Match the therapist to the need: reflexology and relaxation massage are not treatment. For injury or chronic pain, see a physiotherapist or a TCM practitioner registered with the TCM Practitioners Board.
  • Ask whether prices are nett. A quoted $48 hour becomes $52.32 once 9% GST is added.
  • Try a single off-peak session before committing; weekday 11am–5pm rates at some chains are noticeably lower.

Red flags

  • Pressure to sign a large package "today only" or to top up an existing package during your session; pressure selling is an unfair practice under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act.
  • Private rooms or curtained cubicles at an outlet that describes itself as open-concept or exempt from licensing.
  • Prices advertised far below the heartland norm combined with late-night opening and shuttered shopfronts.
  • No written terms on package expiry, transfer or refund.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Is this outlet licensed by the Police, and can I see the licence?
  • Is the price inclusive of GST?
  • Are you CaseTrust-accredited, and is my package covered by prepayment protection insurance?
  • When does the package expire, and can unused sessions be refunded or transferred?

Questions about massage in Singapore

How much is a massage in Singapore?

As of mid-2026, a 60-minute heartland foot reflexology session costs about $38–48 and a no-frills 60-minute body massage about $40–58. Branded chains such as Natureland and Kenko charge roughly $68–117 for an hour before promotions, while hotel spas run $150–350. Check whether the quoted price includes 9% GST.

Do massage shops in Singapore need a licence?

Yes. Under the Massage Establishments Act 2017, businesses providing massage in an establishment need a Massage Establishment Licence from the Singapore Police Force. Open-concept outlets without rooms or partitions have been exempt if they notify the Police, but SPF is replacing that exemption with a Category 3 licence from the second half of 2026. Running an unlicensed massage establishment is an offence.

What happens to my prepaid massage package if the shop closes?

Usually you become an unsecured creditor and recovery is unlikely. When reflexology chain Wan Yang closed abruptly in November 2025, CASE estimated about $1.25 million in prepayment losses. Packages bought from CaseTrust-accredited spa and wellness businesses are covered by prepayment protection insurance, so you can claim the unused value. Paying by credit card may also allow a chargeback.

Is foot reflexology the same as medical treatment?

No. Reflexology and relaxation massage are not regulated healthcare. For back pain, sports injuries or post-surgery rehab, see a physiotherapist or a TCM practitioner registered with the TCM Practitioners Board. Healthcare premises licensed under the Healthcare Services Act are exempt from massage establishment licensing for that reason.

Can I get a refund if I regret buying a massage package?

There is no automatic statutory cooling-off period for packages bought in-store. CaseTrust-accredited spa and wellness businesses must offer at least five working days to cancel for a full refund of unused services. If you were pressured or misled, CASE can help, and claims up to $20,000 can be filed at the Small Claims Tribunals.
