Singapore and Malaysia will launch a land Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) via the Causeway on 29 November 2021.
Up to 1,440 citizens, permanent residents or long-term pass holders of the country that they are entering[1] will be able to cross the Causeway, without the need for quarantine.
In this first phase of the land VTL, travellers will only be able to travel on designated VTL buses. There will be 32 land VTL designated bus services entering each country per day. Travellers who arrive via other means (e.g. private transport or walking across the Causeway, etc.) will be subjected to prevailing border control measures, which include serving a 7-day Stay-Home Notice.
Requirements for travelling
Travel history of travellers: Travellers must have remained in Malaysia, any other VTL or Category I country/region[2] and/or Singapore in the last 14 consecutive days before arrival in Singapore.
Testing: Travellers must also test negative in a valid pre-departure COVID-19 ART or PCR test, within 2 calendar days before departure for Singapore, taken at a laboratory or centre that is accredited or recognised by the Malaysia Ministry of Health[3].
Vaccination: All travellers must have been fully vaccinated[4] and present a digital proof of vaccination that is recognised by the Singapore authorities[5], issued in any VTL country or Singapore.
Unvaccinated travellers who are aged 12 and below can travel to Singapore via the VTL (Land) if accompanied by a fully vaccinated VTL traveller.
Children aged 2[6] years and below in the calendar year are not required to undergo these tests.
Singapore and Malaysia aim to progressively expand the VTL (Land) to include more travellers, including general travellers, taking into account the public health situation.
