MOM: Resuming Entry Approvals
18/08/2021
Announcement by MOM:
With effect from 10 Aug 2021, work pass holders and their dependants will be allowed to enter Singapore from higher-risk countries or regions, provided they are fully vaccinated before arrival.
Higher-risk places currently include all countries and regions other than New Zealand, Brunei, mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan.
- Work pass holders and their dependants who are approved for entry will need to show documentary proof of their full vaccination status to the airlines before boarding and at the checkpoint upon arrival in Singapore.
- Individuals who have received their vaccinations overseas must update their vaccination records in the National Immunisation Registry (NIR) within two weeks of completion of their Stay-Home Notice (SHN) in Singapore. To do so, they will need to show documentary proof of their overseas vaccination, and a positive serology test result taken at one of the Ministry of Health’s designated private healthcare providers.
- The vaccination condition for entry will not apply to dependants aged below 12 years old. Unvaccinated dependants aged between 12 to less than 18 years old can enter without proof of vaccination, on the condition that they take their first vaccination using a PSAR vaccine within one month upon arrival in Singapore, and the second final vaccination within one month of the first dose. Work pass holders and dependants who are medically ineligible for vaccination should appeal to be exempted from the vaccination condition for entry, supported by a doctor’s memo, before applying for entry approval.
