Updates on Border Measures for Incoming Travellers from India to Singapore

6 December 2021

  1. Currently, all Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) travellers entering Singapore by air are to take an On-Arrival Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test, followed by supervised Antigen Rapid Tests (ART) at a Quick Test Centre (QTC) or Combined Test Centre (CTC) on Days 3 and 7.

  2. With effect from 6 December 2021, 2359 hours (Singapore time), this testing regime will be augmented and all travellers on VTL will be put on a daily testing regime over 7 days using ART. This is in addition to the Pre-Departure and On-Arrival Tests. The tests are all self-administered and travellers will be required to submit the results of their self-administered ART online using a link which will be sent to them via their declared contact details after arrival in Singapore. On Days 3 and 7, the test will have to be done under supervision at a CTC or QTC. VTL travellers will be provided with a link via their contact details submitted in the Singapore Arrival Card and electronic Health Declaration Card (SGAC/eHDC) to book their supervised tests on Days 3 and 7. Booking will be on a first-come-first-served basis. Day 3 is the median incubation period and Day 7 is the exit from this testing protocol. During this 7-day period, except for days when travellers go out for their supervised tests, these travellers must test negative on their self-administered ART before going out for activities on that day.

  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 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.
