Precautionary Moves Adopted by Singapore in view of the Omicron Variant

1 December 2021

  1. To step up detection and containment of the Omicron variant, Singapore will enhance testing protocols for travellers arriving in Singapore after 2 December 2021, 2359 hours (Singapore time). All travellers entering Singapore from India must undergo a COVID-19 Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test on-arrival.

  2. In addition, air travellers on the Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL-Air) will also have to undergo additional supervised self-administered Antigen Rapid Tests (ART) at a Quick Test Centre on Days 3 and 7 of their arrival. These measure will minimise importation and allow prompt detection and isolation of Omicron cases.

  3. All travellers from India will still need to undergo COVID-19 pre-departure test. Travellers are to present a negative PCR test result or a professionally administered (i.e. performed by trained medical professionals) negative Antigen Rapid Test (ART) result taken within 48 hours before their departure to Singapore. It is a pre-requisite before passengers are allowed to board their flights to Singapore. They will also be required to present their valid COVID-19 negative PCR/ART test result upon arrival in Singapore.

  4. Please refer to www.safetravel.ica.gov.sg for the list of countries in the various categories, prevailing guidelines and the border measures applicable prior and upon arrival in Singapore.
