The conditions for the Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) by air for visitors from Singapore to Malaysia, which will begin on November 29, have been released by the Transport Ministry.

Travelers from Singapore do not need to apply for a VTL visa to visit Malaysia because entrance facilities will be handled upon arrival, according to the ministry. They also do not need to apply for a MyTravel Pass from Malaysia's Immigration Department.

 

"Travellers must have completed a full course of a Covid-19 vaccine recognised by the Health Ministry and must have spent the previous 14 days in Singapore or Malaysia.

"Short-term visitors, including business and official visitors, must obtain a valid visa for visa-required visitors, as well as a return ticket and travel insurance with a minimum coverage of RM100,000 for Covid-19-related medical treatment and hospitalisation costs, according to a statement released by the ministry on Thursday (Nov 18).

 

Travelers must also undergo RT-PCR testing within two days of their departure from Malaysia and upon arrival at KLIA, according to the ministry. They must wait for their test results in a designated waiting room at KLIA and can exit the airport once their test results are certified to be negative.

Travelers between Changi Airport and Kuala Lumpur International Airport must use VTL designated services, according to the statement (KLIA).

The VTL will begin with six daily flights operated by AirAsia, Jetstar Asia, Malaysia Airlines, Malindo Air, Scoot, and Singapore Airlines, according to the statement.

 

"Malaysia emphasises its long-standing, deep, and comprehensive ties with Singapore, notably in terms of improving Malaysia-Singapore transportation connectivity.

"As a result, the VTL is a critical step in resuming civil aviation's recovery while also addressing public health issues to preserve its long-term viability," according to the statement.
