Singapore Airport Transit Requirements

 

On December 31, I will arrive into Changi on my way to Australia. On arrival, I will spend an hour in the transit lounge before boarding my onward flight to Australia. I am unsure of what travel documents ( or heath clearance certificates) I will need for flying into Changi  or for my stay in the transit lounge. Can anyone enlighten me as to what the current requirements s are   !!

Hey just wondered if you were able to find out anything about Singapore transit requirements yet from other sources? I saw no one answered your post here.. I'm in a similar situation only travelling from New Zealand to Bangkok and transiting 2 hours in changi. From my understanding we don't need any special visa as AUS and NZ are from Category II countries , only need the PCR test taken 72 hours before the flight. Let me know if you know any further info on this 

Luma Thailand Pass worked for me, make sure to choose Plan 1 and above which is the coverage 100K

Can only report my own experience. Everything was checked at departure airport and again at Bangkok. I strongly recommend at least two hard copies of everything. With regards hotel booking, as long as you have a printed copy of paid for accomodation, I can not see them contacting the hotel to check. See no reason why cancelling before departure will be an issue.

I have done both my extensions (I am still here) I used an agent because I am lazy and hate immigration, my paperwork was all in order. First extension I only needed my passport and the usual copies. Second time I was asked for insurance. Pot luck on the day and which office you use.

The STV gets a bit of a bad rap, but for a 9 month stay without committing to a long stay visa and with most borders still shut it has worked out a treat for me. Good luck.

Thanks for advice and info. Good Luck to you too

Intereting. I got my STV from London earlier in the year and the only thing in Remarks was Employment Prohibited, the same as a SETV. Do you mind saying which Embassy you applied at.

Wellington, New Zealand. Do you think it's ok now to cancel long term accomodation that I booked on Agoda since they gave me the visa? I doubt someone is going to check at the airport the validity of my agoda booking? I read another thread on this forum and this exactly what other travellers did, only they cancelled once they landed in Thailand. I need to cancel earlier than my flight though because the hotel will charge me full price, the cut off day is the day before my flight..

This health insurance thing dissuade more tourists from coming to Thailand.

 

How much did you pay for it anyway?

Around 200 USD for 3 months, I'll have to extend it too. Yeah I know it's an extra cost but still worth it

Hey Guys, so they finally gave me the STV visa but they've put some remarks in Thai, obviously for airport security to note and I want to know exactly what it says, anyone knows Thai? 

Many thanks in advance

Sounds good.

 

They want me to pay for all of my accomodation in advance. Any ideas on the best way to do this?

 

Really don't want to drop over a £1000 on rent, sight unseen, but may have to. What's a good rental website in thailand?

 

Best way to find flats?

Book with Agoda for long term, you can select an option with an easy cancel
