4 new classifications of travelers announced by Singapore

Countries and vaccination statuses would be included in the classification.

Singapore’s Multi-Ministry Taskforce announced that new classifications would be put in place as a response to increased vaccinations from regions, 6 August.

Four categories were put in place.

Category I would be for travellers from Mainland China, excluding Jiangsu Province, New Zealand, and Taiwan. A Stay-Home Notice (SHN) will not be issued.

Category II, meanwhile, only includes visitors from Jiangsu China and would require them to go under a seven-day SHN at their accommodation of choice. 

Category III includes tourists from Austria, Italy, Norway, Republic of Korea, and Switzerland. Unvaccinated people will be required a 14-day SHN at dedicated facilities, while vaccinated will have the freedom to choose which facility.

Category IV includes travellers from countries not mentioned and will be required to undergo a 14-day SHN at specific facilities, as well.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
