The Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) for travellers flying in from Switzerland has also been welcomed by the country, which said the move reflects its strong ties with Singapore.

Under the scheme, vaccinated travellers will be able to enter Singapore without having to serve a stay-home notice. Instead, they have to test negative in Covid-19 polymerase chain reaction tests 48 hours before departure for Singapore and upon arrival.

Switzerland’s Ambassador to Singapore, Mr Fabrice Filliez, told The Straits Times that Swiss diplomacy has been active in making the case for the country’s inclusion in a VTL.

“The VTL is of particular significance for Switzerland and confirms the strong and mutually beneficial bilateral cooperation between our countries,” he added.
