Work pass holders, dependants from higher-risk places can enter Singapore from Aug 10 if fully vaccinated

Work pass holders and their dependants who are approved for entry will need to show documentary proof of their full vaccination status to the airlines before boarding and at the checkpoint upon arrival in Singapore. Those who are unable to produce the necessary documentation will be denied boarding or entry. All pass holders and their dependants will also be subjected to the prevailing health protocols in Singapore.

Individuals who have received their vaccinations overseas must update their vaccination records in the National Immunisation Registry (NIR) within two weeks of completion of their Stay-Home Notice (SHN) in Singapore. To do so, they will need to show documentary proof of their overseas vaccination, and a positive serology test result taken at one of the Ministry of Health’s designated private healthcare providers. Failure to produce valid vaccination documents or take the required serology test may result in the suspension and revocation of work pass privileges.

The vaccination condition for entry will not apply to dependants aged below 12 years old. Unvaccinated dependants aged between 12 to less than 18 years old can enter without proof of vaccination, on the condition that they take their first vaccination using a PSAR vaccine within one month upon arrival in Singapore, and the second final vaccination within one month of the first dose. Work pass holders and dependants who are medically ineligible for vaccination should appeal to be exempted from the vaccination condition for entry, supported by a doctor’s memo, before applying for entry approval.

Notes:

1. As of 6 August 2021, this refers to all countries/regions except Brunei, Hong Kong, Mainland China (including Jiangsu Province), Macao, New Zealand and Taiwan. The vaccination condition for entry will not apply to work pass holders and their dependants who remained in these lower risk countries/ regions within the last 21 days prior to arriving in Singapore, and those applying under the Periodic Commuting Arrangement (PCA).

2. An individual is considered fully-vaccinated two weeks after he or she has received the full regimen of Pfizer-BioNTech/ Comirnaty, Moderna or WHO EUL vaccines. Please refer to MOH’s website for the latest definition.

3. As announced by the Ministry of Health earlier, all long term pass holders including work pass holders and their dependants are not allowed entry into Singapore if they have recent travel history (including transit) within the last 21 days to India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Myanmar. Entry approvals for those from Indonesia are also limited.
