G'day, mate! Singaporeans allowed quarantine-free travel to Australia

Fully-vaccinated Singaporeans can travel to Australia without restrictions starting 8 November.

Australia will now allow fully-vaccinated Singapore travelers to enter the country starting 8 November, the same day Singapore extended the Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) scheme to travelers from Australia.

"This announcement by Australia is yet another step forward to a new normal. Australia’s opening for quarantine free travel to Singapore citizens, regardless of purpose of travel, sends a loud and clear message that Australia is pressing ahead with her plans to reopen her borders," said International Air Transport Association Regional Vice President for Asia Pacific Philip Goh.

Pre-COVID, Australia was amongst the top ten markets for annual passenger arrivals at Changi Airport, accounting for about 4% of total arrivals in 2019.

More than 50,000 Singaporeans live in Australia, and over 25,000 Australians live in Singapore.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
