Covid Update for Singapore

Last update: 02/06/2021

All short-term visitors are banned from entering Singapore, except for Singaporean nationals, official residents and pass-holders of the country, who will be required to self-quarantine for 14 days. Exceptions may be made for travelers with an Approval Letter for Entry (ALE) from the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA), Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI), Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA), Ministry of Education (MOE), or the Ministry of Health (MOH). However, passengers with passes or approval letters must not have been in Bangladesh, Chinese Taipei, India, Nepal, Pakistan, or Sri Lanka within the previous 21 days. Residents of select countries are allowed to enter Singapore if they meet certain requirements under “Green Lane” and “Fast Lane” agreements, including Brunei, China, and New Zealand. Again, they must not have been in Bangladesh, Chinese Taipei, India, Nepal, Pakistan, or Sri Lanka within the past 21 days. The conditions of entry vary depending on the country, but all include possession of a valid Singapore visa, a valid Safe Travel Pass approval letter issued by Singapore under the relevant Fast/Green Lane, and, with the exception of children under the age of 6, a medical certificate in English with a negative COVID-19 PCR test result (taken at most 72 hours before departure from the first embarkation point). The certificate must include the date the test was taken, and a minimum of 2 personal identifiers as stated in the passport (i.e. name and either date of birth or passport number). For passengers with connecting flights where the total transit duration is more than 24 hours, the test must have been taken at most 72 hours of the last direct flight to Singapore. The following travelers are exempt from the certificate: nationals of Singapore, permanent residents of Singapore, children aged 6 years old or below, passengers with a pre-approved Business Pass, passengers who have only been to low risk countries or regions in the previous 14 days before entry into Singapore, and individuals with a positive PCR test result for coronavirus issued at least 22 days prior to arrival (proving that they have already had and recovered from the virus). Arrivals must take a PCR test upon arrival, which they must prepay for before departure. Children under 7 and merchant seamen are exempt. Passengers transiting via Singapore are also exempt, except passengers who have been to India, Indonesia, or the Philippines within the past 14 days before transit via Singapore. Transit through Singapore is limited to airlines with transfer routes approved by the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS). Passengers who have spent time in any of the following countries (including in transit) in the prior 21 days are not allowed to transit through Singapore: Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan, or Sri Lanka. All passengers (apart from those in transit) must also make a declaration via the SG Arrival Card service. After arriving, travelers must comply with the terms of the Stay-Home Notice (SHN). Consult Singapore’s visa policy to see the entry requirements for each nationality.
