Malaysia joins the ranks of designated countries under the VTL scheme, including Australia, Brunei Darussalam, Germany, Canada, Denmark, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Finland, Sweden, the United Kingdom (UK), the United States of America (USA), Republic of Korea (ROK), and Switzerland.

Singapore stands ready to welcome the return of Malaysian travellers to the city with our tourism partners. Travellers can look forward to a new standard of travel tailored to your changing needs and new experiences filled with reinvented, fresh and innovative offerings that ignite your passion. When you’re ready, come reimagine your travel experience in Singapore.” said John Gregory Conceicao, Executive Director, Southeast Asia, Singapore Tourism Board.
