This International Air Transport Association (IATA) travel pass will allow visitors to conveniently store and produce Covid-19 test results and vaccination certificates
Visitors travelling into Singapore will soon be able to use the International Air Transport Association (IATA) travel pass to share their pre-departure Covid-19 tests results as well as their vaccination certificates with Singapore's health and border control authorities from May 1.
Last month, Singapore Airlines began testing the IATA travel pass, which comes in the form of a mobile app, on passengers that were travelling from Singapore to London. The app was able to share personalised health credentials with authorities by simply scanning a QR code.

This app is a collaboration between The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) and IATA and is in a format that satisfies Singapore's current Covid-19 pre-departure test requirements that will allow one to enter the country.
The app will also be able to transmit information regarding pre-boarding and pre-arrival clearances as well as digital vaccination certificates to immigration officers and the airlines. The information stored will only come from accredited laboratories.
