Post Covid-19 Travel: These Are The Latest Arrangements With Singapore

Air travel bubbles, unilaterally opening of borders, bilateral green lanes – here’s an update of your post Covid-19 travel options from Singapore

December 15, 2020

While the highly anticipated air travel bubble between Singapore and Hong Kong has been put off for now, a reciprocal green lane with Indonesia are some of the latest additions to the arrangements Singapore has made with countries to relax travel restrictions.

Here’s an update on the arrangements so far.

Post Covid-19 Travel: These Are The Latest Arrangements With Singapore
Tier 1: Unilateral openings
custom

Singapore has unilaterally opened its borders to travellers from Brunei and New Zealand (from Sept 1), as well as Vietnam and Australia excluding Victoria state (from Oct 8). Such openings are a standing invitation from Singapore to these countries, which have comprehensive public health surveillance systems and have successfully controlled the spread of Covid-19.

Visitors have to apply for the Air Travel Pass that allows all forms of short-term travel, including leisure travel. They have to take a swab test upon arrival, and can go about their activities after they get a negative test result.

They will have to use the TraceTogether app during their stay here, among other conditions.

Singapore also plans to negotiate more air travel bubbles with safe countries or regions – an arrangement for general travellers that does not require a controlled itinerary.

Tier 2: Bilateral green lanes

China (from June 8)

China was the first country to establish a green lane with Singapore. The arrangement applies to Shanghai, Tianjin, Chongqing, Guangdong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang. It will gradually be expanded to other provinces and municipalities.

Malaysia (from Aug 17)

Two schemes are in place: The Reciprocal Green Lane, for short-term essential business and official travellers; and the Periodic Commuting Arrangement, for longer-term travel for work and business-related travel.

But the Health Ministry announced that travellers arriving from Sabah, including those under the two schemes, have to serve 14-day stay-home notices at dedicated facilities.

There are also reciprocal green lanes with Brunei (from Sept 1), South Korea (from Sept 4), Japan (from Sept 18) and Indonesia (applications to begin on Oct 26).

Discussions are ongoing for certain places, such as Thailand.

Ciletuh National Geopark sits on 126,000 hectares of natural splendor. Accredited as a UNESCO Geopark, it showcases a rejuvenating waterfall cascading down majestic boulders. Located in Sukabumi Regency, West Java, this natural wonder is home to scenic landscapes. It’s a bucket list-worthy destination for your post-pandemic trip.

Given the severity of the pandemic in some countries, travellers from these places have to serve a 14-day quarantine at dedicated government facilities and take a swab test before the end of their quarantine period.
