Singapore-Mainland China Travel Arrangements All passengers including Chinese nationals, departing Singapore for Mainland China must download and complete the Declaration Form for Direct Flight Passengers to China. This declaration form must be submitted together with the negative COVID-19 nucleic acid test (NAT) certificate to the airline upon check-in. Please click here for more information on Chinese embassy’s requirements. In addition, all passengers must present a certified health declaration form or green “HS” health code issued by the Chinese embassy in Singapore during check-in. However, the following are exempted from this requirement:
Children under the age of six
Passengers travelling on direct flights departing Singapore for Mainland China who hold a qualified standardised COVID-19 NAT certificate. The validity period of the negative COVID-19 NAT certificates held by passengers flying from Singapore to Mainland China will be calculated based on the date of testing, not the date of issuance.
Two copies of the negative COVID-19 NAT certificate must be obtained. One will be submitted to the airline upon check-in and the other to clear immigration in Mainland China.
Passengers who are unsure if their negative COVID-19 NAT certificate fulfills these requirements can still present a certified health declaration form or green “HS” health code issued by the Chinese embassy in Singapore during check-in.
