On June 30th, Singapore officially released the Update of Border Measures for Passengers from Australia and Guangdong Province of Chinese mainland, which updated the new regulations for passengers with travel history in Guangdong Province of China, allowing residents of Guangdong Province of China to enter the country without being quarantined, but tightened the entry policy for passengers with travel history in Australia in the past 2 1 day. Short-term travelers with Air Travel Pass (ATP) will not be allowed to enter Singapore if they have traveled in Australia in the last 2 1 day before leaving for Singapore.
Singapore was one of the few countries that opened its borders to Chinese mainland residents during the epidemic. Although the epidemic went to Singapore, the visa procedure is a little more troublesome now (now you have to apply for an air pass in addition to a visa), but it is acceptable on the whole. Although some European countries are open to China, visa application centers in some cities are still closed as usual. Only the visa application center in Beishangguang will be more open, so it is not very convenient for non-Beishangguang applicants to apply.
There are many overseas Chinese in Singapore, and they have close contacts with China. It can be seen from recent media reports that Singaporeans are fighting for the domestic Cushing's vaccine. Is it the same procedure for China citizens to go to Singapore with ordinary passports now? Bian Xiao learned it through the Immigration Bureau in official website and Singapore, and arranged it for everyone:
Confirm whether you are eligible to apply.
When China citizens go to Singapore with ordinary passports, they should first confirm their travel history in the past 2 1 day, and ask them to stay in Chinese mainland (the place of departure) for the last 2 1 day before going to Singapore, and should undergo health monitoring before leaving the country;
Tourists with the following conditions are not suitable to go to Singapore: COVID-19 symptoms; Diagnosed or suspected of being infected with COVID-19 virus within 2 1 day before going to New Zealand; Or had close contact with any COVID-19 patient within 14 days before going to Singapore. Close contact means: providing care for COVID-19 patients, including in medical care or family/social environment; Stay with COVID-19 patients (such as family members); Or close contact with COVID-19 patients (less than 2m) and long-term contact (15min or more) (such as eating together).
Second, apply for visas and air travel passes.
Apply for a Singapore visa (within 35 days before the entry date): First, you must apply for a Singapore visa through an institution designated by the Singapore Embassy or Consulate. Domestic Singapore visas can only be processed 35 days before departure, and the visas obtained are generally valid for 35 days.
Apply for Air Travel Pass (ATP) (apply between 7 and 30 calendar days before the scheduled date of entry into Singapore): Because of the epidemic, only Singapore visa can't enter the country, so you need to apply for another ATP. The normal processing time of ATP is 3 working days, and the validity period is from the date of entry to 7 days thereafter. If you don't know English, you can handle it through an intermediary or find someone to help you. If you know English, you can also operate online by yourself. Every tourist needs to apply for ATP. If it is a minor (/kloc-under 0/8 years old), the parents will submit the application on their behalf. ATP is applicable to tourists who intend to enter Singapore, but not to transit passengers. After the ATP application is approved, an approval letter will be sent to the applicant by email.
Third, what to do before leaving Singapore.
Note: The direct flight ticket to Singapore must be purchased and non-transferable.
Polymerase chain reaction test before going to Singapore (you don't need to be tested if you are under 3 years old): If you have been in Chinese mainland for the past 2 1 day, if you entered the country with a Singapore visa and air pass, you don't need to be tested by polymerase chain reaction before leaving. However, according to the regulations of official website of the International Air Transport Association, if a China citizen passes the "reciprocal green passage between China and Singapore (generally suitable for business purposes, the representative of a company or government agency in Singapore guarantees or applies for a safe travel pass approval letter (STP) under the reciprocal green passage (SafeTravelPass-RGL), and asks that person to stay in Chongqing, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Tianjin or Zhejiang within 7 days before departure), in this case,
