1. Singapore Residents (Singapore Residents & Permanent Residents)
All residents are welcomed to return to Singapore. However, you are required to submit a health declaration form via the SG Arrival Card E-service within 3 days prior to your arrival. Please click here to access the E-Card.
Residents returning from Indonesia will be issued a Stay Home Notice (SHN) upon granted entry to SIngapore. Effective 26 October 2021 at 00.00hours (Singapore time), you will also need to present a valid negative COVID-19 PCR test taken within 48 hours (previously within 72 hours) before departure for Singapore.
Travellers may serve SHN at their residence, with household members not sharing the same travel history, regardless of vaccination status. However, if travellers are residing with unvaccinated vulnerable household members, they are strongly encouraged to serve their SHN in isolation in a room and minimise contact with their vulnerable household members.
Before the end of your SHN, a COVID-19 test will be scheduled. You will receive notification via SMS, through the SDF or via a call. The appointment details will be informed to you at least one day prior to the test. Results will be made known to you before the end of your SHN.
