Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in the Republic of Singapore released a notice to further adjust pre-departure requirements on fights from Singapore to China on its official WeChat account on 16 April 2022. The details are as follows:

1. Adjusting the type of health code
   
   Due to time limitations, the Embassy is unable to check the result of pre-boarding ART which is performed within 6 hours before departure. In order to remind the Airlines to check related documents, since 19th April (Wednesday), the Embassy will issue blue health code for passengers to China who are required to perform pre-boarding ART. Passengers shall check in with blue health code and negative ART result.
   
   
2. Adjusting the requirements for temporary flights and charter flights to China
   
   Passengers taking temporary flights or charter flights to China shall take one PCR test on the 7th day before departure, fulfill 7-day self-isolation and health observation, take PCR test and serology test (the exact testing type is determined by vaccination status) on the 2nd day before departure and take one PCR test within 12 hours before departure.
   
   
3. Adjusting the inspection process for confirmed cases of COVID-19
   
   The X-ray/CT exams in the inspection process for confirmed cases of COVID-19 is cancelled.
   
   The current inspection process is as follows. Perform two nucleic acid (PCR) tests with an interval of 1 day at two different testing agencies that can provide the test memo with verifiable QR code for verification. The two PCR tests shall be performed on the 3rd and 1st day before the date of submission respectively. For example, if you intend to submit the documents to the Embassy on Thursday, you shall take the first PCR test on Monday and the second one on Wednesday. Please make sure that results of the above-mentioned tests will all be obtained before Thursday. Once you get the tests results, please submit them to the designated email address immediately.
   
   
4. Other requirements regarding the format of test memos, vaccination certificates, direct flights, travel history and the recovery procedure for passengers with a history of infection remain unchanged.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, passengers shall follow the principle of  “no travel for non-essential or non-urgent reasons”. If passengers do need to travel to China, they shall make the appointments for the relevant tests in advance, prepare such documents as vaccination certificates and proof of pre-departure self-isolation in advance, and apply for health codes once they receive and double check the test results. The Embassy will strictly review the health code application in accordance with the latest requirements and ensure passengers who meet the boarding requirements receive their health codes in a timely manner.
