Starting from October 19th, travelers entering Singapore under the vaccinated tourist channel (VTL program) should have 4 nucleic acid tests, but now it has been reduced to 2 times!
In addition, people from other countries who have stayed in the VTL program list in the past 14 days are eligible for entry into Singapore!
Immediately, the Singapore Airlines website suffered a "technical failure" due to too much traffic.
Many airlines' customer service centers have queued up.
Overseas media have reported!
USA Today:
"Singapore allows Americans to enter without isolation"
China Taiwan Times News:
"Singapore expands and opens its borders, 11 countries who have been vaccinated will be exempted from quarantine entry"
US CNBC:
"Singapore opens vaccine travel channels to 8 countries because the goal is the new normal"
Oriental Daily News:
"Singapore Announces Opening of Vaccination Channels with 9 Countries"
Singapore is the regional center of Southeast Asia and even Asia. There are too many foreign companies here.
Employees traveling overseas, students studying abroad, and Singaporeans looking forward to traveling abroad all have the need to open the "border".
The vaccine tourism channel not only facilitates the exchange of people between Singapore and these countries, but more importantly, helps to further consolidate Singapore's position as a hub for business and tourism.
The following 5 categories of people can enter Singapore:
① Singapore citizens, permanent residents
② Family members of Singapore citizens/permanent residents and long-term pass holders
③ Holders of short-term business visas (including: Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan)
④ Short-term visa passengers (including: Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan)
⑤ Emergency visitors for deaths and serious illnesses
What to pay attention to when entering Singapore:
Travelers must be fully vaccinated 14 days after the new crown vaccine, and have a vaccination certificate that can be digitally verified.
Pfizer/Comirnaty, Moderna or other vaccines on the World Health Organization's emergency use list are acceptable. (Including Sinopharm and Kexing)
Short-term visitors and long-term pass holders will need to apply for a vaccinated travel pass to enter Singapore.
Singaporean citizens and permanent residents will be able to automatically enter the VTL program channel without having to apply for a pass.
Applicable to the latest health control measures for visitors from Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan (from October 6, 2021):
After arriving in Singapore, a nucleic acid test is required and self-isolation is required. After the result is negative, you can move around freely.
The above is Singapore’s latest immigration policy~ New normal and new measures. Will it be far away from China's opening of mutual exemption and isolation of entry?
