COVID-19: Singapore suspends reciprocal green lane arrangements with Malaysia, Germany and South Korea

IMPACT – HIGH

Singapore suspended reciprocal green lane (RGL) arrangements with Germany, Malaysia and South Korea for three months beginning Feb. 1.

Key Points:

• Singapore still has active RGL schemes with Brunei and selected cities in mainland China (Chongqing, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Tianjin and Zhejiang).
• Singapore’s government will review the Reciprocal Green Lane arrangements after the suspension is over.
• Travelers who have already been approved to enter Singapore under these Reciprocal Green Lanes can continue to do so. Travelers can find updates on border measures at the SafeTravel website.
