Recent immigration changes

The Singapore Ministry of Health (MOH) has
introduced an extension of precautionary measures against the spread of the
novel corona virus. In summary:

  • From 1 February 2020, 2359h, all new visitors with recent travel
    history to mainland China within the last 14 days will not be allowed
    entry into Singapore, or to transit through Singapore.

  • With immediate effect, the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority
    (ICA) will suspend the issuance of all forms of new visas to those with
    PRC passports. Singapore’s status as a visa-free transit facility for
    those with PRC passports will also be suspended.

  • Previously issued short-term and multiple-visit visas for those
    with PRC passports will also be suspended.  During this period of
    suspension, they will not be allowed entry into Singapore.
