The latest regulations on entry restrictions in Singapore
Therefore, in order to curb the spread of the epidemic, starting from 23: 59 on March 23, 2008, all foreigners are prohibited from entering or transiting Singapore.
In addition, among the holders of long-term residence permits, only those engaged in medical treatment and transportation are allowed to enter the country.
Huang Xuncai said that the Singapore Malaysia Special Working Committee has reached an agreement that Malaysians with work permits during the epidemic can return to Singapore to continue their work on the premise that accommodation is guaranteed. Cross-sectoral cooperation in Singapore helps enterprises solve accommodation problems. There is no restriction on the transportation of goods between Singapore and Malaysia.
Previously, except for a few countries and regions with severe epidemics, tourists from other regions were allowed to enter Singapore, and they were quarantined in China 14 days. According to the notice of the Ministry of Health of Singapore, 533 short-term tourists still arrived in Singapore on March 2 1.
China citizens should pay attention to Singapore's immigration policy.
Singapore's Ministry of Manpower has further tightened the scope of approval for those who return to China with work permits, and will only approve applications from work permit holders and their families who provide necessary services such as medical care and transportation.
Singapore citizens, permanent residents and long-term permit holders must be quarantined at home according to the "Home Notice" 14 days after entering Singapore, and they are not allowed to leave home during this period.
The Embassy in Singapore reminds China citizens who intend to come to Singapore in the near future and have returned to Singapore after new transit, they need to know and abide by Singapore's health and epidemic prevention laws and regulations and related prevention and control measures in detail, and consciously cooperate with the new health and epidemic prevention department to carry out prevention and control work.
In view of the global spread of the epidemic and the high risk of international travel, most countries have adopted strict restrictions and control measures for entry personnel. In China, the immigration control has been comprehensively strengthened, and the customs and border inspection have carried out strict inspections on the people entering the country. Many provinces and cities have introduced strict prevention and control measures. In some areas, immigrants have been quarantined at their own expense 14 days. From the point of view of safety and convenience, the Embassy strongly advises citizens in New China to pay close attention to the announcement of domestic epidemic prevention and control. If you really need to return to China, please declare your information and itinerary to the domestic destination community in advance, truthfully declare your health after entering the country, and consciously abide by the prevention and control regulations such as isolation.
