Thanks Sam. You are absolutely right. Somehow I had got it into my head that the VTL had been paused when Omnicron ramped up and hadn’t been re-established. It looks like we need the following:

– have spent the past 14 days in a VTL country
– apply for a vaccinated travel pass 3 – 60 days before your departure date
– book seats on a designated VTL flight
– have travel insurance with COVID-19 coverage (minimum S$30,000)
– have digital or physical copies of the required documents
– take the required COVID-19 tests before departure, upon arrival, and for the first 7 days of your stay in Singapore

Not sure if I fancy the risks associated with 7 days of testing!

The 7 days of testing has been relaxed somewhat, but you are right, it’s a risk + the “on the ground” situation is still quite restrictive depending on what you like doing – no alcohol out and about past 10.30pm, hotels have slots for breakfast/pools, especially at weekends, masks outdoors, lots of scanning of the trace together app etc etc. Personally having lived there through it all I was very tired of it and Personally would give it a miss this year. I’m writing this from Spain which is far more relaxed for example !
