Latest Updates & Guidance for COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019)

If you have been vaccinated in Singapore you may access your records on the HealthHub website and app, including downloading a PDF record. Login via Singpass is required. Other apps which connect to Singpass, such as TraceTogether, may also display your vaccination status.

TRAVEL MATTERS

Singapore does not impose any mandatory health requirements on travellers for departure to other countries. However, the following is advised:

• Check the MFA website for the latest travel advisories to other countries/regions
• Check with the immigration authority or embassy of the destination country/region on the relevant health requirements imposed on travellers from Singapore, such as Pre-Departure Tests to be taken

Some countries/regions require a Pre-Departure Test (PDT) before travellers depart from Singapore, and may require presentation of health certificates on arrival.

For more details on arranging for a PDT, please click here.

For FAQs on PDT and health certificates (including PDT and vaccination certs), please click here.

Singapore has arranged for Reciprocal Green Lanes (RGLs) with the following countries/regions for short term business and official travel.

These RGLs have specific departure requirements and application processes and more details can be found here.

Given the evolving COVID-19 situation in Singapore, the Singapore and Hong Kong Governments have agreed to defer the launch of the Singapore – Hong Kong Air Travel Bubble (ATB) flights. This is to safeguard public health in both cities as well as travellers’ health. For more information, please refer to the deferment notice here.

Below is the current ongoing advice from the ICA. For the latest announcement regarding travel and entry of work pass holders visit our Covid Information Hub at https://covid.britcham.org.sg.

The ICA has developed a self-help tool to explain which SafeTravel Lanes you can use to enter Singapore. Visit https://safetravel.ica.gov.sg/arriving/overview. 

The UK is a Category III country for entry into Singapore, as of October 7 2021.

SINGAPORE'S PHASED RECOVERY & SUPPORT FOR BUSINESSES

1. Individuals who have received the full regimen of the Pfizer-BioNTech/ Comirnaty, Moderna or any vaccines recognised in the World Health Organisation’s Emergency Use Listing, with an additional 2 weeks for it to be fully effective
2. Individuals who have recovered from COVID-19
3. Unvaccinated individuals with a valid negative Pre-Event Test (PET) result taken in the past 24 hours, before the expected end of the event

Currently the MOM requires work-from-home as the default for general workplaces with safe management measures and testing in place for those required to be present at the workplace.

The term "Work-related events" includes those which primarily involve employees or stakeholders, such as conferences/seminars, corporate retreats, staff training sessions, Annual General Meetings and Extraordinary General Meetings but not those which are primarily for social interaction. This is separate and distinct from MICE events approved by the Singapore Tourism Board (see below).

• The number of persons per event must be capped at 50 persons to limit the risk of exposure to infection.
• Attendees must maintain at least 1 metre safe distancing between individual attendees, as per the requirement at the workplace.
• Meals should not be the main feature of the event, i.e. food or drinks should only be served if incidental to the workplace event (e.g. the meeting or conference extends over lunchtime). In addition, the food must be served individually with the participants seated while consuming. Participants should minimise the time that they are unmasked while eating.
• Work-related events held at third-party venues will also be subject to any additional premise owners’ safe management policies, such as Vaccination-Differentiated SMMs.
• All social gatherings at the workplace must adhere to the prevailing gathering size limit of 5 persons. Such gatherings should not include external persons, i.e. persons who do not normally work at that workplace.

The SG SafeEvent Standard is a mark of assurance that your event meets the requirements for safety, compliance and wellbeing in a COVID world. These standards will help event practitioners implement STB’s prevailing Safe Management Measures for MICE Events.

To hold a MICE event, an event organiser must submit an application and event proposal for STB’s assessment. If STB is satisfied with the proposal, MTI will give the organisers approval to carry out the event. Each MICE event and its related marketing efforts may be carried out only after receiving approval from STB and MTI. Organisers must submit their application and event proposal at least 1 month prior to each MICE event. STB and MTI will take up to 14 business days to assess each application.
