Business and official travellers under Singapore-China “fast lane” arrangement must take COVID19 tests, adhere to controlled itinerary

SINGAPORE: The Singapore-China"fast lane" arrangement will start on Jun 8, and approved travellers must take a COVID-19 swab test within 48 hours before departure.

Authorities had announced on May 29 that Singapore and China had agreed to a"fast lane" arrangement which would facilitate essential travel for business and official purposes between the two countries. "An approved applicant travelling from Singapore to China will undergo a PCR test and serology test after arrival in China at his/her own cost, and remain in locations designated by the local provincial or municipal government for one to two days until the test result is released," said MFA and MTI.

Meanwhile, residents in China seeking to make essential travel to Singapore via the fast lane must be sponsored by either a company or a Singapore government agency, which will file an application on behalf of the applicant for a SafeTravel Pass.
