Travelling to Singapore

Travellers entering Singapore can do so with the new Vaccinated Travel Framework. Under this new Framework, all travelers from ANY country or region can enjoy quarantine-free travel protocols for entry into Singapore. Fully vaccinated travelers will no longer need to take any COVID-19 tests in Singapore.

Non-fully vaccinated travellers entering Singapore from 28 August 2022, 2359 hours will no longer be required to undergo a 7-day SHN upon arrival, nor be subject to an exit-SHN Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test. However, they will continue to be required to test negative on a Pre-Departure Test within 2 days before departing for Singapore. Non-fully vaccinated Short-Term Visitors (STVs) will also continue to be required to purchase COVID-19 travel insurance to cover the duration of their stay in Singapore.

There are no Restricted Category countries/regions today; all countries/regions come under the COVID-19 General Travel Category.

Please refer to the Immigrations and Checkpoints Authority of Singapore Entry Requirements to ensure a smooth journey into Singapore.
