Entry / Exit Restrictions Key Updates

  • Singapore remains largely closed to those who are not citizens or residents. The current greenlane arrangements are strictly conditioned towards business travel, with exhaustive terms and conditions to ensure safety. The Air Travel Pass currently covers Taiwan, Australia, Brunei, China, Vietnam and New Zealand. 
  • New / Changed general restrictions – Currently, all new Reciprocal Green Lane entries applications from Indonesia, Japan, Germany, Malaysia and Republic of Korea have been suspended. However, travellers with approvals before the suspension was in effect will be able to continue the trip per the approved controlled itinerary. 
  • Thailand has begun steps to explore the possibility of a travel bubble with Singapore in an effort to boost the tourism industry for both countries. 
  • Effective 1st May 2021, passengers travelling to Singapore by air will be able to use the International Air Transport Association (IATA) Travel Pass
  • Travel restrictions are likely to still be in place until the country has a healthy rate of vaccinations. In the meantime, we expect more Air Travel Pass or Reciprocal Green Lane  to be negotiated in the near future.

  • A total of 711 million vaccine doses have been administered globally with 154 million people fully vaccinated. This translates to 2% of the global population.
