The latest regulations of Singapore's transit in 2020

The transfer regulations in Singapore have been updated recently. If you want to transfer here in Singapore in the near future, you need to know this information. It is said that you can turn in both directions now, but there are still some regulations. The specific information is as follows. Let's have a look!

According to Singapore's latest transit regulations, Singapore Airlines has issued a new transit policy. From June 23rd, passengers can depart from mainland China, Chongqing, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Hong Kong, and some cities in Japan, South Korea, New Zealand and Australia, take flights of Singapore Airlines Group (including Singapore Airlines, SilkAir and Scoot Airlines) and transfer in Singapore to other destinations operated by Singapore Airlines Group. If the departure point and destination are both approved destinations, you can transfer in both directions.

This policy requires passengers to purchase the joint flight ticket of Singapore Airlines Group, which cannot be purchased in stages, and ensure that their situation meets the entry requirements such as epidemic prevention and immigration at the destination. When transferring at Singapore Changi Airport, passengers whose transfer interval is less than 75 minutes will be sent directly to the boarding gate; Passengers with an interval of more than 75 minutes need to get off at the designated area. The above transfer methods are only applicable to passengers on Singapore Airlines routes.

It is also known that at present, China Airlines has not been approved for new transit routes. According to the regulations of Singapore, passengers who do not meet the requirements of the new transfer will be sent back to the starting point by the original plane even if they arrive in Singapore.

In addition, the new transfer hospital must observe the local epidemic prevention measures and check the body temperature. The waiting area of Singapore Changi Airport is equipped with medical facilities. If passengers feel unwell or have a fever during transportation, please contact the airport staff immediately for help. Suspected cases or confirmed cases in COVID-19 must be further examined, isolated or treated locally, and relevant expenses shall be handled according to the regulations of New Zealand.

The Embassy of China in Singapore reminds China citizens that if they plan to take a new connecting flight, they must check with the carrier airlines in advance whether the connecting flight is in compliance with the regulations, understand the requirements of connecting air tickets and direct baggage delivery, and do not buy air tickets or go to a new connecting flight rashly, so as to avoid being refused boarding or returning to the original plane, resulting in economic losses or detention. Make sure you are healthy, have no fever or cough, and take personal protection during the trip. For transit personnel from countries that need to fill in the "International Health Code", ensure that the "Health Code" meets the flight requirements.
