Travelling to Singapore during the pandemic? Here’s what you need to know:
Who is eligible to enter Singapore?
Singapore currently accepts travellers from Brunei, China and vice-versa for essential and business-related travel. Visitors from Australia, New Zealand, and Taiwan who have applied for an Air Travel Pass are also permitted for general travel.
Do note that short-term visitors with travel history to the United Kingdom or South Africa within the last 14 days will not be allowed to enter Singapore even if prior approval had been given.
Permitted travellers must also submit their health declaration within three days before arriving in Singapore.

The travel insurance will help them pay for the costs of their medical treatment in Singapore.
