Quarantine-free travel still open for 7 European nations under VTL scheme - debono - 15-11-2021

Vaccinated Singapore residents will still be able to travel without quarantine to seven of the eight European countries that have vaccinated travel lanes  (VTL) with the Republic.

According to their border regulations, Italy, France, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Britain have yet to reimpose a compulsory quarantine on travellers from Singapore despite the European Union (EU) raising its Covid-19 risk assessment of the Republic last Tuesday.

Finland and Sweden- two other European countries that will start VTLs with Singapore from Nov 29- have also not introduced quarantine curbs on travellers. 

This leaves Denmark as the only VTL country to have reimposed quarantine restrictions.  Since last Thursday, travellers from Singapore have to serve at least four days of isolation after arrival.

Denmark's move came after the Council of the EU removed Singapore from a list  of countries for which travel curbs should be lifted...

It doesn’t matter how many VTL lanes are open. They can open 20 or 30 lanes whatever they like. If other countries felt unsafe to be here, they wil not wish to come here anyway.
