Singapore Covid‑19 Passes Now Accepted Across the EU
Heads up for anyone jetting between Singapore and the European Union – you’ll only need one badge to prove you’re vaccinated, tested or recovered. From Thursday, Nov 25, Singapore’s own Covid‑19 certificate is officially on par with the EU’s Digital Covid Certificate.
What’s in the New Rule
- Equal footing – Singapore holders can use their pass as they would an EU one, and vice versa.
- All trips cleared – Whether you’re a tourist, a work‑visiting professional, or a student, the passport’s recognised across EU member states.
- Vaccines accepted – Even if your shot isn’t EU‑approved, the states can decide to let it go by. Just double‑check which vaccines are accepted in your destination.
Jakarta to Brussels (and Beyond) Gets a Free‑flow Pass
Denmark’s embassy in Singapore even posted a quick, spoiler‑free a‑bridge: “If you’re heading to Denmark, fire your Singapore pass on the way in and keep that EU ticket handy for visiting Singapore.” That means quarantine‑free travel has been put back into play – no more 10‑day isolation for Singapore travellers after the region’s earlier “high‑risk” designation.
Why This Matters for Motoring North & South
EU Justice Commissioner Didier Reynders pointed out that Singapore is a trailblazer – the first Southeast Asian nation to have its certificate match the EU system. It’s part of a larger network now covering 51 countries across five continents. With the holiday rush coming, it’s a big reassurance for families, friends, and solo adventurers alike.
Takeaway for Travellers
Pack your bags (and your confidence). No more border dread, just a little digital paperwork and you’re good to go. Happy (harry‑cake) travels!
