Hey all
I’m due to fly to Singapore on 22nd Feb to start new role.
I have my work pass granted and flights booked last October.
With the recent Covid numbers here, Singapore has shut boarders from UK travellers.
I do understand this, given the terrible situation at present. But I’m wondering if anyone has any information on when this may be lifted as it doesn’t say.
Bit of a predicament really as I’ve already had Covid so have some level of protection and also wayyyyyy low down on the vaccine list as under 30 years old.
Appreciate there may be no answers and everyone’s guess is as good as mine, but worth an ask! More of a vent if anything.
Hope you’re all well out there and life is beginning to get back to normal

Email ICA. It is possible that they’ll give you special
exemption to enter.
They allowed me to do so - although granted my reason was for my SC wife to give birth.
Doesn’t hurt to ask.

Agree with Sunjackal, if you’re coming for work it doesn’t hurt to ask ICA. Since you’ll be coming for a legitimate reason and not just to vacation they should be relatively open to it as long as you’ll follow the standard testing and quarantine procedure.

Hopefully! Have sent them an email, thank you for your reply.
Maybe the fact I had Covid in November means I’m less of a threat as super unlikely to have it again!

Singapore just have a case of Covid-19 reinfection

Not true actually, there have been quite a few reported cases of reinfection.

Also I forgot to mention, if you’re in Singapore there are quite a few private clinics that administer the vaccine, there is no age limit like the government program, you just need to be 18.

In respect of the above, I was in Singapore from July to December 2020 when our son was born. Our permanent relocation is in two months. Nearly there!
