Singapore will extend quarantine-free vaccinated travel lanes to six more countries from next month, in a bid to rebuild the city-state’s status as an international aviation hub with global connectivity, the national aviation authority announced on Friday.
Fully vaccinated travellers from Thailand may enter Singapore under the quarantine-free travel lane (VTL) from December 14. Those coming from Cambodia, Fiji, Maldives, Sri Lanka and Turkey can do so from December 16, the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) said.
This latest move will increase the number of countries with which Singapore has VTL arrangements to 27.
Before the Covid-19 pandemic, these 27 countries contributed to about 60 per cent of the total daily arrivals at the country’s Changi Airport, CAAS said.
