    SINGAPORE is introducing new Vaccinated Travel Lanes (VTLs) with countries such as Indonesia and the Philippines, and restoring quotas for existing ones - including the land link with Malaysia - as it presses on with border reopening.

    The Republic will also simplify its country categories for inbound travellers and free up entry for long-term pass holders - excluding work permit holders - as part of a wider review of border measures, the multi-ministry taskforce on Covid-19 announced on Wednesday (Feb 16).
