1) Latest Travel Notices and Answers to Top FAQ
If you have already applied for entry into Singapore under any of the following lanes, you should check your application status using the links below.
| Issue | Answer |
|---|---|
| Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) Tests and Protocols for a Positive Antigen Rapid Test (ART) | Travellers arriving in Singapore before 23 Jan 2022, 2359h, via VTL (Air) or (Land) will be subject to an on-arrival test, unsupervised self-administered antigen Rapid Test (ART) on Days 2, 4, 5 and 6 with submission of results online, and supervised ART on Days 3 and 7 from their arrival. Travellers arriving in Singapore from 23 Jan 2022, 2359h, via VTL (Air) or (Land) will perform an on-arrival test, and self-administered ART from Day 2 to 7 of their arrival. Travelers who test positive on their ART do not need to undergo a confirmatory PCR test. However, they must self-isolate for 72 hours and take an ART at the end of the period. Self-isolation ends if the traveller tests negative on their ART. Otherwise, take another ART 24 hours later. Visit https://covid.gov.sg/travellers for more details on recovery protocols for travellers. |
| Travel for recently-recovered travellers | Travellers who are fully vaccinated and able to produce credible proof of having contracted COVID-19 between 7 and 90 days before departure for Singapore will be waived of all testing and Stay-Home Notice requirements. Refer to the Vaccinated-Recovered Protocol for details. Non-fully vaccinated travellers who produce credible proof of having contracted COVID-19 between 14 and 90 days before departure for Singapore will be exempted from their pre-departure tests. No appeal is required. This self-check tool can help advise if you qualify for any pre-departure test or border measure exemptions resulting from your vaccinated or recovered status. Except for Singapore Citizens and PRs, entry approval under your respective Safe Travel Lane is still required. |
| End of Stay-Home Notice (SHN) and exit from SHN accommodation | A Stay-Home Notice (SHN) takes effect immediately on the day of its issuance and travellers must remain in their SHN accommodation for the period specified in the notice. An SHN ends after the traveller receives a negative exit COVID-19 Polymerase Chain Reaction Test ("exit PCR test"), or completes the specified SHN period, whichever is later. See illustration below, and use the SHN end date calculator here. Illustration: Travellers Y and Z were issued a 7-day SHN on 1 January 2022. Their 7-day SHN period will stretch from 1 to 8 January 2022. Both travellers have gone for their exit PCR test.
