Travel Advisory

All travellers, including Singapore residents, with travel history to countries with risk of yellow fever transmission (see Annex) in the six days prior to arrival in Singapore are required to have a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate and present it to the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) officer upon arrival to Singapore. Please note that this requirement applies to travellers who visited any area, region, or city in the countries listed in the Annex. The certificate is also required for travellers with more than 12 hours airport transit in these countries.

The International Certificate of Vaccination for yellow fever is only considered valid 10 days after vaccination and the validity lasts for the life of the person vaccinated. Students arriving from these countries to receive the yellow fever vaccine at least 10 days prior to their travel.

 Travellers without a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate (e.g. unvaccinated individuals, including those who are ineligible to receive the vaccination, and travellers whose certificate has yet to become valid) are liable to be quarantined under Section 31 of the Infectious Disease Act, for up to six days upon arrival in Singapore. Quarantine must be served at a designated vector-free government quarantine facility.
