Singapore - Updates on Border Measures and Travel Insurance (from 24 January 2021, 2359 hours, all travellers (including SCs and PRs) will need to take a COVID-19 PCR test upon arrival in Singapore)

The Multi-Ministry Taskforce regularly reviews Singapore’s border measures to manage the risk of importation and onward local transmission from travellers. Given the resurgence of COVID-19 cases around the world, the Taskforce will be putting in place more stringent measures for travellers to manage the risk of importation. 

On-arrival Testing for Travellers

2.        The Taskforce currently require travellers who are not Singapore Citizens (SCs) or Permanent Residents (PRs), and who have recent travel history to high-risk countries/ regions, to take a COVID-19 Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test within 72 hours before departure. 

These travellers are then required to serve their Stay-Home Notice (SHN) upon arrival in Singapore, and they are tested at the end of their SHN.

3.       Given the emergence of new virus variants and the worsening COVID-19 situation around the world, the Taskforce will put in place additional border control measures for all travellers. 

In particular, from 24 January 2021, 2359 hours, all travellers (including SCs and PRs) will need to take a COVID-19 PCR test upon arrival in Singapore. The prevailing SHN requirements, including the PCR test at the end of the SHN, will continue.
