SG and SoKor launches vaccinated travel lanes

The joint VTLs are the first of their kind between two major aviation hubs in Asia.

Singapore Minister for transport S. Iswaran and the Republic of Korea Minister of land, infrastructure, and transport Noh Hyeong Ouk have announced their joint launch of vaccinated travel lanes (VTLs), to start on 15 November.

Under the VTLs, fully vaccinated travellers can travel between Changi Airport and Incheon International Airport and be subjected to COVID-19 polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests instead of serving quarantine. They will also utilise COVID-19 vaccination certificates, which will allow fully vaccinated travellers with proof of vaccination issued in either Singapore or the Republic of Korea to enjoy vaccination-differentiated safe management measures in both countries.

"I am pleased that both Singapore and the Republic of Korea have agreed to jointly launch the vaccinated travel lanes and re-open general travel between our two countries, which has been disrupted for the past 20 months. Both countries have made excellent progress in vaccinating our populations, and the VTLs reflect the trust both countries have in each other's ability to manage the COVID-19 situation. This is another milestone as we re-open Singapore's borders and resume air travel in a careful and calibrated manner," Iswaran said.

Travellers must meet the eligibility criteria and adhere to the prevailing border control measures and public health requirements for travel into the respective countries.

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.
