Children born in or after 2010 (i.e. aged 12 and below by year of birth) can enter Singapore following rules mentioned for fully vaccinated travellers, regardless of COVID-19 vaccination status.
Entry requirements
All vaccinated travellers entering the country must:
Prepare Proof of Vaccination
Obtain additional entry documents, such as a visa
Passport with at least 6 months validity
Complete your SG Arrival Card (SGAC) up to 3 days before your arrival in Singapore (Only Singapore Citizens, Permanent Residents and Long-Term Pass Holders entering via land checkpoints do not need to fill in the declaration).
Testing and quarantine requirements
There are no quarantine or COVID-19 testing measures for fully vaccinated travellers and travellers aged 12 and below. However, you must comply with the latest public health measures. If you test positive for COVID-19, observe the appropriate recovery protocols.
Non vaccinated travellers
Travellers who do not meet the vaccination requirements above are considered non-fully vaccinated travellers and will be subject to entry approvals, tests and quarantine. This includes travellers who:
Are born in or before 2009 (i.e. age 13 and above by year of birth)
Are medically exempted from COVID-19 vaccination
Took non-WHO EUL vaccines and/or did not complete the full dosage of WHO EUL COVID-19 vaccines
Recovered from COVID-19 but did not complete the minimum dosage of WHO EUL COVID-19 vaccines
Generally, non-fully vaccinated long-term pass holders and short-term visitors are not allowed to enter Singapore unless in exceptional circumstances.
Entry requirements
Unvaccinated travellers must:
Obtain additional entry documents, such as a visa
Have a passport with at least 6 months of validity
Short-term visitors must ensure they have travel insurance covering COVID-19, with at least $30,000 of medical coverage
Testing requirements
Within two days before departure, take any of the following COVID-19 tests:
COVID-19 Polymerase Chain Reaction test; OR
Antigen Rapid Test (ART) administered by a trained professional or self-administered ART that is remotely supervised by an approved ART provider in Singapore [for Singapore citizens, PRs and Long-Term Pass Holders (including In-Principle Approval holders) only]

A PDT is not required only if you tested positive for COVID-19 between 14 to 90 days before your date of departure for Singapore. You can use this tool to check if the pre-departure test can be waived, and the documentation required to prove your first infection or recovery.
Quarantine requirements
