To enter Singapore quarantine-free under the Vaccinated Travel Lane scheme, fully vaccinated travellers must fly on designated VTL flights. Singapore Airlines may operate both VTL flights and non-VTL flights on the same routes, so it is important to select your flights carefully.
Check the restrictions below before booking to ensure choosing the right flight number.
VTL flights FAQs
The Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) is a scheme that allows quarantine-free travel to Singapore. Vaccinated travellers can now enjoy quarantine-free access to Singapore from the following countries: Australia, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Always check the Singapore government information page for the latest requirements.
Yes, VTL flights from Indonesia will commence from 29 November 2021, as well as for United Arab Emirates (UAE) from 6 December 2021. The VTL arrangements are still being finalised between India and Malaysia.
VTL flights are designated flights that allow fully-vaccinated travellers to enter Singapore quarantine-free under the
Vaccinated Travel Lane scheme.
Travellers must not have any travel history outside of Singapore and/or VTL or Category I countries/regions in the past 14 days to be eligible for the VTL flights. Any time spent in Singapore prior to travelling to a VTL country counts towards these 14 days. E.g. if you had spent 10 days in Singapore before flying to Germany, you may return to Singapore on a VTL flight starting from day 4 of your trip.
Please note that you can visit multiple VTL or Category I countries/regions on the same trip and still be eligible for VTL flights. Transit countries are considered part of your travel history. You will not be eligible for a VTL flight if you have transited through a non-VTL country within the past 14 days. E.g. you can fly from Singapore to Munich, then onward to Paris and London, and return to Singapore within a 14-day trip. However, if you fly from Singapore to Los Angeles via Tokyo, you will not be eligible for Singapore Airlines non-stop VTL flight from Los Angeles if your stay in Los Angeles is less than 14 days, as Tokyo is not on the list of VTL countries.
You may select any Singapore Airlines flight out of Singapore to a VTL country. (Except for flights into Australia, which have specific requirements. Learn more here).
