The Singapore-Hong Kong Travel Bubble (ATB) is set to launch on May 26 which barring any deterioration of the Covid-19 pandemic situation in both city and Singapore will open to more air travel bubbles with other regions soon by Minister of Transport, Ong Ye Kung on April 26. Ong was pointing to Australia, New Zealand, Brunei, China and Taiwan where the key objective of the ATB is to remove the Stay-Home Notice and quarantine requirements while containing the risk.
And the few changes that travellers to Hong Kong should take note of is that anyone can travel from Singapore to Hong Kong in the ATB regardless of their nationality or citizenship and there will be no restrictions on the type of travel or itinerary which means that anyone who wants to travel, regardless of the reason for travel will be able to do so. They must remain in Singapore for at least 14 consecutive days prior to departure. This 14 days period excludes any Stay Home Notice (SHN) from their last return to Singapore from overseas.
Travellers must also take a pre-departure Covid-19 polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test within 72 hours before the scheduled departure time of the designated ATB flight and result with the negative test result. Then travellers must also take a Covid-19 test upon arriving at Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) and remain at the airport until their test result comes back negative. Travellers from Singapore are required to download and install the LeaveHomeSafe (LHS) app on their mobile devices prior to leaving for Hong Kong.
