Actions to be taken by Work Holiday Pass (WHP) holders if they wish to enter Singapore from overseas.
As we resume activities in phases post-Circuit Breaker, find out what are the
current work pass requirements.
All pass holders must obtain entry approvals from the relevant government agencies to enter Singapore.
However, those conveying essential services or supplies (e.g. lorry drivers or vegetable supply truckers) coming from Malaysia by land or sea crossing are exempted from the entry approval and Stay-Home Notice (SHN) requirements.
For:
- Existing WHP holders who are Malaysians or Malaysia permanent residents and entering Singapore by land, they can get their employers to bring them in under the Periodic Commuting Arrangement (PCA) scheme.
- All other WHP holders, including those on in-principle approval (IPA), must continue to obtain MOM’s entry approval to enter Singapore.
To request for MOM’s entry approval, you must:
- Ensure you can fulfil the additional requirements and responsibilities to enter Singapore. This includes paying for your COVID-19 test and stay at the dedicated SHN facility, if applicable.
- Use our entry approval calculator to plan when to request for MOM’s entry approval.
