SINGAPORE: Effective 9am on March 27, all travellers to Singapore must submit a health declaration to the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) via the SG Arrival Card e-Service that also comes with health declaration function, prior to their arrival.
Concurrently, Singapore will also discontinue the paper-based disembarkation/embarkation card, commonly known as the white card.
“They will have to do so via the SG Arrival Card (SGAC) e-Service”, said ICA in a statement issued here today.
The health declaration also applies to Singapore citizens, permanent residents, and long-term pass holders that include student pass, dependent pass, work pass and long-term visit pass holders.
“This new entry requirement is an additional precautionary measure to mitigate the risk of importation of COVID-19 into Singapore, and will be subject to further review based on the global COVID-19 situation,” it said.
The SGAC e-Service is available at ICA website at https://eservices.ica.gov.sg/sgarrivalcard and the mobile application can be downloaded for free from Apple AppStore and Google Play. -- Bernama
