Singapore allows Vietnamese tourists to quarantine at home.

Citizens of 10 countries and territories, including Vietnam, will be quarantined at home instead of at Singapore's quarantine facilities starting June 18th after entering the country; however, they will have to pay for Covid-19 testing.

Citizens and tourists arriving from other countries will have to quarantine at designated quarantine facilities or hotels. The cost of quarantine is approximately 2,000 SGD (equivalent to 33.48 million VND).

All individuals entering Singapore after June 18th will have to pay for a Covid-19 test at the end of their quarantine period, approximately S$200 (equivalent to VND 3.35 million).

Additionally, those entering the country will have to travel by private vehicle or designated transportation to get to the testing site, are not allowed to use public transport, and must return home immediately afterward.

In early June, Singapore resumed essential travel for official or business purposes with China, waiving the mandatory 14-day quarantine for those entering from both sides. Instead, entrants must undergo Covid-19 testing within 48 hours of departure and upon arrival, provide detailed information about their planned travel itinerary, download and use the TraceTogether app, and refrain from using public transport.
