Land travellers between Malaysia and Singapore who are fully vaccinated are no longer required to do Covid-19 tests before departure or after arrival, and they are exempt from quarantine.

Those travelling between the two nations by air, however, must complete a pre-flight RTK-Antigen Covid-19 test two days before departure, according to Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin.

"There will be no further testing between Singapore and Malaysia upon arrival."
This is part of Malaysia's and Singapore's bilateral protocol.
The 24-hour land checkpoint will reopen in the meantime.

"On Wednesday, Singapore's Health Minister Ong Ye Kung and his delegation visited the Health Ministry to address the situation with Covid-19 in both countries," he stated at a press conference today.

 

He said the two countries' competent authorities came to an agreement on travel arrangements after consultations, and the result was handed to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

Today, the premiers of both countries talked on the phone about the reopening of land, water, and air borders.

 

He indicated that quotas for land travel in all categories would be lifted, subject to Singapore's Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP).

"When it comes to air travel, the two countries leave it up to the carriers to increase the number of flights available. There will be no limitations on the number of flights, as there were previously under the VTL (Vaccinated Travel Lane) programme."

The guideline for land travel between Malaysia and Thailand was also announced by Khairy.
