Singapore, the first major corporate hub in Asia, is opening up for international travel with no quarantine required for fully vaccinated passengers. This encourages families to be reunited after a long period caused by the global pandemic, and to restart the corridor of trade visits for vaccinated travellers. Arrivals from the UK and several countries including the United States, Canada, Germany, Denmark, France, Spain, Italy and Netherlands will now be eligible for the VTL scheme.
To assist with your travel arrangements we have worked with our colleagues at British Airways, as a long-standing partner of the British Chamber of Commerce Singapore, to answer some of your anticipated questions on flying with the airline using the VTL.
From the 19th of October, British Airways BA11 services from London Heathrow (LHR) to Singapore (SIN) will operate under the VTL (Vaccinated Travel Lane) scheme, four times weekly on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays departing LHR at 19:55 and arriving in SIN at 16:25. Flights out of Singapore (eg BA12) will not be impacted.
The VTL scheme means that customers travelling on these services now need to meet a number of requirements to be able to travel related to their vaccination status. Further information on the VTL requirements, processes and applying for a VTP (Vaccinated Travel Pass) can be found here. Customers will also need to continue to observe testing requirements, for further information please follow the foreign travel advice on gov.uk.
