It’s been a while since Singapore expanded its Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) network, allowing two-way quarantine-free trips to a range of countries, due to the emergence of the Omicron COVID-19 variant in late 2021, which resulted in a deferment of some additions and additional testing restrictions.
Thankfully we’re now back on the path of expansion, with the government announcing the addition of two new countries to the VTL list from 4th March 2022:
๐ฎ๐ฑ Israel
๐ต๐ญ Philippines
In addition VTLs will be activated with the following countries, which were originally planned for early December but were indefinitely deferred in late November last year:
๐ถ๐ฆ Qatar
๐ธ๐ฆ Saudi Arabia
๐ฆ๐ช UAE
These VTLs will start on 25th February 2022. A new VTL will also start in tandem with the Middle East trio:
๐ญ๐ฐ Hong Kong
That makes the new list of all VTL countries look healthier than it’s ever looked:

Updated: 3 March 2022

These latest VTL additions will mean Singapore has opened VTLs with 30 countries, providing a wide range of options for quarantine-free travel (two-way in most cases), including both regional and long-haul options.
Hong Kong ‘moves’ category
Hong Kong currently enjoys a unilateral opening with Singapore in ‘Category 1’.
From 25th February 2022 the country will be reclassified into the Category 2/3 band, but Singapore is reinforcing its intention to maintain connectivity with the city by adding it to the VTL programme, despite two-way quarantine-free travel not currently being possible for travellers.
“We will cease the current unilateral opening with Hong Kong as the Ministry of Health has reviewed the public health situation and reclassified Hong Kong in Category II/III. With this classification by Ministry of Health, our intention is and we will establish a unilateral Vaccinated Travel Lane with Hong Kong. Our aim here is to maintain air connectivity between our two cities.”
S Iswaran, Singapore Minister for Transport
Thailand expands
As part of these changes, VTL flights will also be launched from three other cities in Thailand to Singapore; Phuket, Chiang Mai and Krabi.
That’s a nice improvement from the current arrangement, where only specified Bangkok – Singapore flights are part of the VTL.
Here’s a full list of the VTL flights on these routes confirmed to date by Singapore Airlines and Scoot.
Two-way quarantine-free options
With the exception of Hong Kong, all these new VTLs allow fully vaccinated travellers from Singapore to make two-way quarantine-free trips.
While there are no direct flights between Singapore and Israel, it’s possible to connect via other VTL countries like those in Europe.
The most recent of these new countries to lift quarantine restrictions was the Philippines, and we already have a full rundown on the process you’ll face heading there.
Designated VTL flights
Singapore Airlines and Scoot are the first two airlines to confirm their designated VTL flight schedules from these new VTL countries, plus those from new Thai cities.

Here’s a full breakdown of the VTL schedules confirmed so far through to the end of October 2022.
Cebu (Scoot)
From 4th March, Scoot will operate TR385 five times weekly as the designated VTL flight from Cebu to Singapore.
