SINGAPORE: Update on Border Measures
February 17, 2023
As Singapore steps away from its Covid-19 restrictions, travelers arriving in Singapore from 13 February 2023, regardless of vaccination status or traveler profile would no longer be subject to any Covid-19 measures. Prior to this, unvaccinated travelers would need to meet additional requirements, which include pre-departure testing prior to entry. Vaccination requirements to apply and renew long term passes however, still remain.
COVID-19 Vaccination for Permanent Residence and Long-Term Pass
- As stated above, up-to-date COVID-19 vaccination is still required for new Permanent Residence, Long-Term Pass and Work Pass applications, as well as the renewal of Work Permit holders in the construction, marine and process sectors or residing in dormitories.
- Refer to MOH’s FAQs on how to keep your COVID-19 vaccination status up-to-date in Singapore.
- Work pass holders should refer to MOM’s website for details on vaccination requirements, and are advised to take their COVID-19 boosters before entering Singapore to avoid delays for their pass issuance, if applicable.
- From 1 Apr 2023, persons who recently recovered from COVID-19 will no longer enjoy temporary exemption from COVID-19 vaccination requirements.
