Singapore will now require all travellers who are non-citizens and permanent residents to take a Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test within 72 hours before departure.

Singapore’s Multi-Ministry Task Force (MTF) said these travellers will still be required to serve their Stay-Home-Notice (SHN) upon arrival in Singapore and be tested at the end of their SHN.

This will apply from 17 November 2020, 2359, except what the task force designates as “lower risk countries”.
