Entry / Exit Restrictions Key Updates

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.
