This post is latest update related to Singapore Travel Restrictions imposed by the Singapore Government due to COVID-19 outbreak. We will continue update this post if any new development from Singapore government.
Update MAR 16, 2020
Effective Date: Mar 16, 2020 [23.59]
In view of the surge in the number of confirmed cases around the world, the Singapore authorities will implement additional precautionary measures to further reduce the risk of importation of COVID-19 to Singapore. These include travel advisories against all non-essential travel abroad, and further restrictions on travellers coming into Singapore.
From 16 March 2020, 23:59 hours, all travellers (including Singapore Residents, Long Term Pass holders, and short-term visitors) entering Singapore with recent travel history to:
- ASEAN Countries
- Japan
- Switzerland
- United Kingdom
within the last 14 days will be issued with a 14-day Stay-Home Notice (SHN).
In addition to the SHN requirement, from 16 March 2020, 23:59 hours, all short-term visitors who are nationals of any ASEAN country will have to submit requisite information on their health to the Singapore Overseas Mission in the country they are resident before their intended date of travel.
The submission will have to be approved by Singapore’s Ministry of Health (MOH) before travel to Singapore, and the approval will be verified by the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) officers at the Singapore checkpoints. Short-term visitors who arrive in Singapore without the necessary approval will be denied entry into Singapore. They are therefore advised to secure the approval before making definitive travel bookings.
