Before Vietnam's plan to open up to international tourism from March 15, Singapore decided from March 16 to implement a policy of two-way travel without quarantine for Vietnam (vaccinated travel lane - VTL). .

Accordingly, the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) in an announcement on March 4 said that visitors from Vietnam to Singapore can start submitting online applications for a vaccine passport at 10:00 am. (Singapore time) from March 13. In addition, VTL stipulates that short-term visitors from Vietnam will have to receive at least 02 doses of the Covid-19 vaccine according to the list of the World Health Organization (WHO), and at the same time have a certificate of vaccination. to present when doing immigration procedures (no need to submit when applying for VTP).

Before entering Vietnam, Vietnamese tourists who want to enter Singapore must have a negative PCR or ART test result at a medical facility 48 hours and purchase travel insurance with a minimum payment of 30,000 SGD (equivalent to 22,000 USD). while being treated for COVID-19. People who have been infected with COVID-19 may not need to be tested for 90 days from the date of recovery, but must have a confirmation of recovery from a medical facility.

This move from Singapore is believed to have started with Germany's removal of Vietnam from the list of high risks for Covid-19. It can be said that the efforts of the Vietnamese Government and people to prevent the disease have achieved certain results when helping Vietnam become a safer destination in the eyes of international friends.

Singapore's decision to restore the two-way travel policy without quarantine is the result of the State visit of President Nguyen Xuan Phuc to Singapore from February 24-26. From here, we can predict that the tourism industry of the two countries will quickly recover and develop in the not too distant future.
