    • @exploreaswego
      @exploreaswego  3 года назад

      Hey Buddy! If you are planning to transit thru Singapore, it's best to check the Singapore Covid Laws as they almost change weekly at this point. In any case, we always recommend getting PCR or ANTIGEN test prior to travel. Since you have a few countries, it's best to cover your bases. Wedee just flew from ORD to LAX to LHR to IST and didn't need the COVID TEST because he is fully VACCINATED, but the airlines were confused... we still got it anyways to be safe and not deal with any last minute issues.

    i came back home to Singapore FROM Kota Kinabalu Sabah Malaysia in end Dec 2020 just to sign some gov documents. I have planned to spend a few days with my dad & siblings before flying back again to undergo another 7 days of Malaysia hotel quarantine. (Cannot quarantine at home if you're from overseas). 14 days of Hotel SHN at Grand Corpthorne Hotel however 2 days before check-out, Malaysia imposed 2nd MCO. My flights were cancelled. Since covid, no more straight flights from BKI-SIN. Had to deal with the embassies, relevant documentations. I had to fly Jetstar to KL then transfer another flight to Kota Kinabalu. Timing is critical. it's a gamble went you're travelling during covid. Expensive quarantine cost, physically & mentally torture.

    • @exploreaswego
      @exploreaswego  3 года назад +1

      Thanks for sharing your experience. I can totally empathize what you are going through, it's really not easy crossing borders these days during the pandemic. I'm sure it must have cost you a fortune to quarantine in Singapore as well as again in Malaysia when you returned. And that's not including covid tests, transport arrangements and etc. I'm optimistic that the situation will gradually improve later half this year, if there's no newer and meaner variant outbreaking. As we can see now, Singapore is slowly shifting to lesser restriction and quarantine when you enter from lower risk countries. I wish you well, and good health to you and your family in these tough times!

      Yup, unfortunately PCR tests will come from your own pocket. Based on my experience, it cost $160 at the airport if you need to take one upon arrival. If you are traveling VTL, I'm sure the Singapore safetravel.ica.gov.sg/ will have it all set up for you on all the tests you require, as well as cost for them.

    Hi, I'm a tourist from Philippines and got my 2 jabs of Pfizer (finally😁😋) I know my country is still on high risk lane but if I wanna travel SG but coming from different country of origin not from PH say for example Brunei, will the border allow me in? Thank you in advance😊

    • @exploreaswego
      @exploreaswego  3 года назад +1

      From the get go - if you are short term visiting tourist without the necessary visa or work pass to enter Singapore, you will not be able to enter. If you have PR/work pass/relations to citizen, and
      if you have a travel history in staying at Brunei in the past 21 days or any of the countries that are listed in Category 2 of the chart as shown, you can enter Singapore with a 7 day quarantine, even with a Vaccination status.
      I think the Vaccinated Travel Lane is only dedicated for citizens of Brunei and Germany only, and they have to fly specific dedicated flights with a return ticket that are extremely expensive.
      So to answer you question, technically yes, Singapore will allow you in based on the country where you have traveled in the last 21 days, but you have to meet the visa requirements first before looking at the covid border restriction.
