Checklist for Fully Vaccinated Travellers & All Children Below 12
Instructions before use:
This checklist is for all travellers, including Singapore Citizens or Permanent Residents, entering Singapore from any country/region via air, land, or sea, and are:
- Fully vaccinated with WHO EUL COVID-19 vaccines;* OR
- Born in or after 2010 (i.e. aged 12 and below by year of birth), regardless of vaccination status
If you do not meet the above criteria, refer to the checklist for non-fully vaccinated travellers. Travellers transiting in Singapore to another destination without clearing immigration should refer to the “Transiting through Singapore” page for information.
*To be considered fully vaccinated, travellers must have taken at least one dose of Janssen/J&J, or at least 2 doses of AstraZeneca, Covaxin, Moderna/Spikevax, Covishield, Novavax/Covovax/Nuvaxovid, Pfizer/BioNTech/COMIRNATY, Sinovac or Sinopharm. Mixtures and boosters of these WHO EUL vaccines, and recovery from COVID-19 with vaccination, are also acceptable. For full definition of acceptable vaccinations and dose intervals for entry to Singapore, refer to this page.
For a smooth travel experience, read each step below carefully. Please note that you are no longer required to take any COVID-19 tests before departure for Singapore.
If you are born in or before 2009 (i.e. aged 13 and above by year of birth), ensure that you have the necessary proof of COVID-19 vaccination for pre-boarding and immigration checks.

Your vaccination status can be retrieved from the TraceTogether and/or HealthHub mobile applications. If you are unable to retrieve your vaccination status via these applications, you can prove your vaccination status by:
- Obtaining a vaccination acceptance letter using the Vaccination Check Portal (VCP); OR
- Showing your MOH-issued hardcopy vaccination certificate
If you hold a Digitally Verifiable Vaccination Certificate (DVC) issued by the countries/regions listed in this document, you can verify your DVC using the Vaccination Check Portal (VCP). Travellers whose DVC was successfully verified using VCP can use their vaccination acceptance letter for smoother boarding and immigration checks – please note that VCP is not a mandatory entry requirement.
If you do not have a DVC, or are unable to verify your vaccination certificate on VCP even after troubleshooting using this guide, you can prove your vaccination status using a Vaccination Certificate (including certificate on a vaccination app) that is in English, or accompanied with notarised English translation, with the following details:
- Name (per travel document used for entry)
- At least one other personal identifier, e.g. date of birth or passport number (per travel document used for entry)
- Name of vaccine(s) administered
- Vaccination date(s)
All travellers who have travel history to countries/regions in Africa and Latin America with Yellow Fever Risk are also required to obtain a Yellow Fever Vaccination Certificate, if not they will be turned away from Singapore or subject to up to 6 days quarantine on arrival.
The following types of travellers must prepare the additional documents below if necessary, for pre-boarding and immigration clearance. Visitors must also ensure that your passport is valid for at least 6 months.

Apply for an Entry Visa if you hold a passport or travel documents issued by visa-required countries/regions.
Ensure you have a valid Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) approval email, Autopass card and motor insurance. VEP, insurance and Autopass services are not available at Singapore's land checkpoints.

Fully vaccinated male CMP workers must book a slot at Ministry of Manpower's (MOM) Onboard centre to undergo a residential onboarding programme upon arrival.
All CMP workers entering from Bangladesh, India or Myanmar must undergo a Pre-Departure Preparatory Programme before entering Singapore.
Defer your travels if you have experienced the onset of any COVID-19 symptoms in the last 7 days before departure. This may include fever, cough, runny nose, sore throat, loss of taste or smell.
Otherwise, complete your SG Arrival Card (SGAC) up to 3 days before your arrival in Singapore. The SG arrival card (SGAC) is a simple and free arrival declaration of your travel and health details. You are exempted from submitting your SGAC if you are a Singapore Citizen, Permanent Resident or Long-Term Pass Holder arriving by Land.
Upon the completion of your SGAC, you will receive an email acknowledgement which you can present for smoother pre-boarding and immigration checks.
All travellers are encouraged to use the automated clearance gates if they are eligible.
For foreign visitors, an e-Pass (i.e. Visit Pass) stating the period of stay granted will be issued via the email address indicated in SGAC. Passports will no longer be stamped.
If you are symptomatic on arrival, you may be directed to take a COVID-19 test or other requirements as instructed by officers. Each Antigen Rapid Test (ART) administered will cost S$30, while each COVID-19 Polymerase Chain Reaction Test (PCR Test) will cost S$138.
Local Health Protocols
There are no quarantine or COVID-19 testing measures for fully vaccinated travellers and travellers aged 12 and below. However, you must comply with the latest public health measures. This includes the use of the TraceTogether mobile application for contact tracing and to show proof of vaccination in Vaccination-Differentiated settings (VDS). Refer to this guide to activate your TraceTogether application or write to support@tracetogether.gov.sg for assistance.
For the latest public health measures and VDS, visit the Ministry of Health (MOH) website.
If you test positive for COVID-19 during your stay, follow these recovery protocols.
Maintaining Vaccination Status
If you are vaccinated overseas, your vaccination status will be temporarily reflected in your TraceTogether application for up to 30 days. Write in using this form if your details are not reflected correctly.
If you have not already done so, register your vaccination status into the Singapore National Immunisation Registry (NIR) at a Public Health Preparedness Clinic, if you are:
| Traveller Type | When must registration be done |
|---|---|
| Worker in Construction, Marine Shipyard or Process Sector (CMP worker) on Work Permit, Training Work Permit, S-Pass or In-Principle Approval of these 3 passes | Within 7 days of arrival |
| Staying in Singapore for more than 30 days (including all Long-Term Pass Holders not mentioned above) | Within 30 days of arrival |
Apart from calling your clinic of choice to ensure that it can facilitate the registration, please also ask the clinic for the documents needed for registration. Depending on the date which you had received the last dose of your primary vaccination series, you may be advised to take additional COVID-19 vaccination doses (see summary below) to qualify for domestic vaccination-differentiated requirements.
