Returning citizens, permanent residents require negative PCR test 3 days before flight home

The Ministry of Health extends the pre-departure testing requirement to all Singapore citizens and permanent residents.

The Ministry of Health (MOH) updated its COVID-19 test requirements to include Singapore citizens and permanent residents.

As of May 29, Singapore citizens and permanent residents will also be required to present valid negative COVID-19 plymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests taken 72 hours before their departure to Singapore. This has long been a requirement for long-term pass holders and short-term visitors.

Upon arrival, both citizens and residents would have to take another PCR test before they are brought to Stay-Home Notice (SHN) facilities.

Travellers from low-risk regions of Australia, Brunei Darussalam, Mainland China, New Zealand, Hong Kong and Macao are excempt from the 72-hour test requirement, but will still have to take either a PCR test upon arrival or serve a 7-day SHN at their place of residence.

Singaporeans who test positive for COVID-19 while overseas and require urgent medical care in Singapore can still return through medevac flight or other equivalent forms of transport.

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.
