SINGAPORE will launch a fast lane for essential business and official travel with South Korea on Friday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a press statement on Wednesday.

Eligible travellers will have to abide by mutually agreed terms and prevailing public health measures in the respective countries, such as pre-departure and post-arrival testing, and the adherence to a controlled itinerary for the first 14 days in the receiving country.

Operational details, including the requirements, health protocols and application process will be published on the SafeTravel website by Friday, MFA said.
