Travellers will be subjected to a Covid-19 polymerase chain reaction test once they arrive at Changi Airport
Weeks after firming up plans for an air travel bubble agreement between Singapore and Hong Kong, the authorities have now announced that visitors from mainland China and Australia’s Victoria state will be allowed to enter Singapore as of November 6.
The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) said on Thursday (October 29) that both mainland China and Victoria were added to the current list of countries with unilateral measures for all forms of travel as they had successfully controlled the spread of the coronavirus.
Those arriving into Singapore using an Air Travel Pass (ATP) will be subjected to a Covid-19 polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test once they arrive at Changi Airport. If the test result shows as negative, they will be allowed to forgo quarantine measures here.
Travellers with ATP will be allowed entry into Singapore under the condition that they had remained in either mainland China or Australia in the last 14 days before arriving in Singapore—which must also be done via direct flights.
Singapore citizens, permanent residents and long-term pass holders returning to Singapore must also take a Covid-19 PCR test upon arrival.
