Vaccinated travellers to enter Singapore quarantine-free without need for VTLs from April
Add BT as a preferred source
FROM Apr 1, Singapore will allow fully vaccinated travellers and non-vaccinated children to enter quarantine-free and without the need to use Vaccinated Travel Lanes (VTLs) or apply for related passes, in a move that aviation analysts see as providing a boost to the travel and tourism sector.
Singapore may even reap a first-mover advantage in Asia, widening the gap in capacity between national carrier Singapore Airlines (SIA) and its rivals, DBS equity research analyst Jason Sum told The Business Times.
Fully vaccinated travellers will still need to take a pre-departure test within 2 days of leaving for Singapore, but will not have to take an antigen rapid test (ART) after arriving in Singapore.
