Singapore will relax its strict Covid-19 travel regulations for some tourists later this October.
The island nation has announced that from midnight on October 18, travellers from the UK, the US, Canada, Denmark, France, Italy, the Netherlands and Spain can visit Singapore for tourism purposes.
From November 15, South Korea will also join the list of approved countries.
The destinations have been added to Singapore’s Vaccinated Travel Lane scheme which allows fully-immunised visitors to apply to travel to the Asian business hub for tourism purposes.
Applications to travel to Singapore will open at 10am on Tuesday, and travellers must apply at least seven days before they fly.
Tourists from Brunei and Germany can already travel to Singapore under the same scheme. From Monday, October 18, these travellers and all others arriving under the new rules will no longer need to take a day 3 and day 7 Covid-19 PCR test.
