Updated pre-departure test requirement for inbound travelers to Singapore To reduce the risk of importation, all travellers (including Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents) from Category III and IV countries/regions are required to produce a negative COVID-19 Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test result taken within 72 hours before departure to Singapore to enter or transit through Singapore.

From 9 September 2021, 2359 hours (Singapore time), all inbound travellers entering or transiting through Singapore from Category II, III and IV countries/regions will need to produce a negative pre-departure COVID-19 PCR test result taken within 48 hours before departure to Singapore. Travellers entering Singapore will still be subjected to the following:

1. On-arrival PCR test ;

2. Corresponding SHN and testing regime upon arrival in Singapore; and

3. Tested at the end of their SHN.
