After bracing through long months of agitating lockdown, Malaysians are finally able to breathe fresher air now that they are allowed to travel. That being said, the latest country that now welcomes Malaysian travellers is Singapore— as announced by the prime ministers of both countries yesterday.
In the joined statement, it was announced that Malaysia and Singapore will launch a vaccinated travel lane (VTL) between the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) and Changi Airport starting November 29th.
"Under the VTL, fully vaccinated travellers will be able to travel between Singapore and Malaysia and be subjected to Covid-19 tests in lieu of serving quarantine or the stay-home notice," said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob and Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong in their statement on November 8th.
Without further ado, let's look at the requirements you'd need to meet in order to travel to Singapore.
Here are the full SOPs:
• Only fully vaccinated individuals allowed to travel between the countries
• Travellers are required to take two polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests before departure and on arrival at Changi Airport, and must only enter Singapore via designated flights
• Unvaccinated children aged 12 and below are allowed to travel under the VTL scheme as long as they are accompanied by any adult traveller who meets the requirements
