How to get Easy Bail in Singapore

Cases in which bail can be granted

There are 2 types of offences: Bailable Offences and Non-Bailable Offences.

Bail can only be granted only if you have committed a bailable offence. In other words, if an offence is bailable, the accused must be granted bail if he is able to and prepared to give bail.

If an offence is non-bailable, this does not mean that bail cannot be offered. What it means is that the police or the court has the discretion to decide whether to grant bail.

Factors that can affect the bail procedure for a accuse:
  • The nature and gravity of the offence charged\
  • Whether there are reasonable grounds for believing the accused is guilty of the offence
  • The accused’s character, means and standing
  • Whether the grant of bail is essential to ensure that the accused has an adequate opportunity to prepare his defence; and
  • The length of the period of detention of the accused and the probability of any further period of delay.

The amount to be paid against the bail and the tenure of the bail is being decided by the lawmakers. It is always recommended by specialist to always hire experienced and good lawyer  who can make to get the bail for you a easy procedure to go on.
