Singapore Airlines' COVID-19 vaccination requirements
Singapore Airlines will adhere to the guidance of the regulators regarding COVID-19 vaccination requirements and customers will be informed of any changes. If you test positive for COVID-19, you will not be allowed to board any Singapore Airlines flight.
Singapore has specific requirements for entry into the country, which are also required for those travelling on Singapore Airlines. For example, short-term visitors (including business and official travel) or Long-Term Pass holders are required to apply for a Vaccinated Travel Pass (VTP) between 7 to 30 days prior to their departure to Singapore. Children under 12 years of age do not need to apply. All VTL travellers are required to travel on designated VTL flights.
To enter Singapore, you must be fully vaccinated and have digital or physical copies of your vaccination status. Children aged 12 and under who are unvaccinated but travelling with fully vaccinated parents or guardians can enter Singapore. If you are not fully vaccinated, you cannot enter Singapore unless you are a Singapore Citizen or Permanent Resident. However, it is possible to apply for permission for unvaccinated people to enter for exceptional reasons, such as unvaccinated children aged 13-17 of long-term pass holders, or for compassionate grounds. Unvaccinated travellers given permission to enter must undergo 7 days of quarantine on arrival, followed by a PCR test, and obtain travel insurance to cover any COVID-19-related medical charges.
For those travelling on Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) flights, you must meet all VTL requirements. If you do not meet these requirements, you will be accommodated on a non-VTL flight and must meet the entry requirements for your travel itinerary.

Testing and entry requirements for Singapore
Singapore has implemented a Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) framework, allowing vaccinated travellers from specific countries/regions to enter Singapore by adhering to particular requirements. Short-term visitors, including business and official travellers, or Long-Term Pass holders, must apply for a Vaccinated Travel Pass (VTP) between 7 and 30 days before their departure to Singapore. Children under 12 years of age, if accompanied by a VTL traveller, are exempt from this condition. Singapore citizens and permanent residents do not need to apply for a VTP, but permanent residents require valid re-entry permits.
For VTL flights, travellers must present a negative COVID-19 antigen test result taken within 48 hours before arrival or a negative COVID-19 PCR or POR-PCR test result taken within 72 hours before arrival. Alternatively, proof of recovery from COVID-19 dated between 28 days and six months before travel is also accepted. Additionally, all travellers above six years of age must wear medical-grade masks, such as surgical, FFP2, or KN95/N95 masks, at German airports. Simple cloth masks, scarves, and masks with an outlet valve are prohibited.
Singapore Airlines operates VTL flights from Frankfurt and Munich. If a VTL flight is cancelled by the Singapore Government, passengers are eligible for a refund or can rebook for the unused portion of their ticket. However, if a traveller tests positive for COVID-19, they will not be allowed to board any Singapore Airlines flight but can request a refund for the unused portion.
Furthermore, travellers to Singapore, including residents, who have recently visited or transited through countries with a risk of yellow fever transmission within the past six days, must produce a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate upon arrival. This requirement also applies to travellers who spent more than 12 hours in airport transit in these countries. The vaccination certificate becomes valid 10 days after vaccination and lasts for life. Those without a valid certificate must complete a quarantine at a designated government facility.
All travellers to Singapore are also required to submit the SG Arrival Card within three days before their arrival, excluding those transiting without seeking immigration clearance and Singapore citizens, permanent residents, and long-term pass holders entering via land checkpoints. Additionally, short-term travellers from visa-required countries must apply for a visa, while US passport holders do not require a visa for business or social visits.

Yellow fever vaccination requirements for Singapore
Although Singapore is free from yellow fever, the country has set specific requirements regarding yellow fever vaccination for travellers to prevent the risk of importation and transmission of the disease.
Yellow fever is a mosquito-borne acute viral haemorrhagic disease caused by the yellow fever virus. The disease is transmitted through the bite of an infected Aedes mosquito. While most infected persons are asymptomatic or experience only mild illness, a more severe form of the disease can lead to high fever, jaundice, bleeding, shock, and multiple organ failure.
Singapore has strict requirements for travellers arriving from countries with a risk of yellow fever transmission. All travellers, including Singapore residents, must present a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate to the ICA (Immigration and Checkpoints Authority) officer upon arrival in Singapore. This requirement applies regardless of the area, city, or region visited within the country and includes those who have spent more than 12 hours in airport transit in these countries. The International Certificate of Vaccination for yellow fever becomes valid 10 days after vaccination and remains valid for life.
Travellers who are unable to provide a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate, including those who are unvaccinated or ineligible for vaccination (such as children under one year old), will be subject to quarantine. The quarantine period is set at six days, covering the incubation period for yellow fever. Non-residents who refuse to comply with the quarantine requirement will be denied entry into Singapore.
It is important to note that other mosquito-borne diseases, such as Dengue Fever and malaria, are prevalent in Singapore and other Southeast Asian countries. There are currently no vaccines available for these diseases, so travellers are advised to take precautions against mosquito bites and consult a travel health professional for specific recommendations.

Quarantine requirements for unvaccinated travellers to Singapore
As of 20 April 2022, only unvaccinated Singapore Citizens (SCs), Singapore Permanent Residents (SPRs), and long-term pass holders who have received entry approval via the SC/PR Familial Ties lane may enter Singapore. These travellers must travel on a non-designated Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) flight and must serve a Stay-Home Notice (SHN). If the traveller was vaccinated outside of Singapore, they must show their vaccination certificate from the country in which they were vaccinated and upload their QR code during their VTL application.
Unvaccinated travellers aged 12 and below can enter Singapore on the VTL if travelling with a fully vaccinated parent or guardian. They are not required to take a pre-departure PCR/ART test but must take a PCR test upon arrival at Changi Airport.
Unvaccinated travellers aged 13 and above are not eligible for the VTL and must quarantine upon returning to Singapore. They must take pre-departure and on-arrival COVID-19 tests. If they test positive for COVID-19 upon arrival, they will have to undergo the recovery protocol immediately. They can self-quarantine at their place of residence or at a hotel for 72 hours and can only leave if they produce a negative ART result three days later. If they are assessed to be ineligible for home recovery, they will be sent to a medical facility for care until they are fit for discharge.
