BEFORE TRAVELLING TO SINGAPORE

 [For short-term visitors] Apply for a visa after receiving your Vaccinated Travel Pass (Air) [VTP

departing for Singapore.

Please note that having a VTP (Air) does not guarantee you a ticket on a designated VTL (Air)
flight. You are responsible for obtaining your own ticket separately and are encouraged to do so
early.

• Staying in the same place as a person with COVID-19 (e.g. household members); or
• Are aware that you had close proximity (i.e. less than 2 metres) and prolonged contact
(15 minutes or more) with a person with COVID-19 (e.g. shared a meal).
 Register and pre-pay for a COVID-19 Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test to be taken at the

days before your arrival in Singapore.

 Take a COVID-19 Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test or Antigen Rapid Test (ART) within 2
days before the scheduled departure time of the designated VTL (Air) flight to Singapore, at an
internationally accredited or recognised laboratory, clinic, or medical facility, and obtain a test

of birth as those shown in the passport that you are using to enter Singapore. Please refer to

eligible to be issued TraceTogether tokens (in lieu of the requirement to have a mobile device
with the TraceTogether app downloaded) with payment of a S$50 deposit at the Changi
Recommends booth at Changi Airport or Seletar Business Aviation Centre at Seletar Airport

DURING STAY IN SINGAPORE

 Make an appointment booking for your Day 3 and Day 7 ARTs with a Quick Test Centre (QTC)
or Combined Test Centre (CTC) using the appointment booking link which will be emailed to you

activities for the day if your ART result is negative.

 Undergo supervised self-administered COVID-19 ARTs at a Quick Test Centre (QTC) or

Combined Test Centre (CTC) on Days 3 and 7 of your stay in Singapore. The test will be self-

from taking your scheduled ART on that day. Your time of departure from Singapore is defined
as the scheduled time of departure of your flight or ferry, or the time you clear departure
immigration if you depart by land.

 Should you test positive for COVID-19 on any of your ARTs, you must self-isolate immediately,
book an appointment for a confirmatory PCR test at a Combined Test Centre (CTC) using the
link provided to you as soon as possible, and undergo the PCR test no later than 1600 hours on
the following day. Please take private transport, taxi or private hire car to the CTC, and return to
your place of accommodation immediately after your test. Do not use public transport. If you
were planning to depart from Singapore, you should defer your travel plans, attend your
confirmatory PCR test, and await your PCR test results.

 If you fail to undergo the required COVID-19 tests, you may also be required, for public health
reasons, to serve a Stay-Home Notice (SHN) / Stay Order, pursuant to the Infectious Diseases
(COVID-19 – Stay Orders) Regulations 2020, and to pay for all applicable charges related to
your stay, as well as any additional COVID-19 tests required as part of the SHN regime.

Failure to undergo the required COVID-19 tests may constitute an offence under the Infectious
Diseases Act, and may render you liable upon conviction, in the case of a first offence, to a fine
not exceeding S$10,000 or imprisonment for a term not exceeding 6 months or to both. For
subsequent offence(s), you may be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding S$20,000 or
imprisonment for a term not exceeding 12 months or to both.

Further, your VTP (Air), and/or Visit Pass or Long-Term Pass, may be cancelled, and in such an
