Traveling to Europe? Singapore’s Covid Cert Now Plays Nice With the EU!
The world’s start moving again, but the rules keep changing faster than a Netflix binge. So keep your ears to the ground and your passport handy.
What’s New?
- On October 11, Singapore lost its sweet deal with Denmark: no more 2‑way quarantine‑free hops for Singaporeans. The Nordic country now tops the “high‑risk” list.
- On November 24, the European Commission dropped a neat message: Singapore’s Covid‑19 certificates are now officially recognized as the EU Digital Covid Certificate (EUDCC).
From November 25 onwards, anyone carrying a Singapore Covid‑19 certificate can use it just like the EU’s own digital pass—valid everywhere in the EU. That includes sneaking past quarantine in Denmark.
Why This Matters
- No more fiddly conversions from Singapore’s vaccination card to an EUDCC.
- You can visit restaurants, museums, and other attractions across the EU without extra paperwork.
- Many European VTLs still require an EUDCC, so this eliminates a major roadblock.
Before This…
Singapore‑issued passes had to be converted into EUDCC format because many European countries only accepted the EU version. This caused:
- Different conversion tools in every country.
- In places like the Netherlands and Finland, no conversion was offered, forcing travelers to show negative tests or other proof.
- Frustration and delays for tourists who just wanted to taste European coffee.
So, How Do You Get Your Certificate Ready?
Let’s break it down in three simple steps:
- Check eligibility: Make sure you’ve received at least one dose of a WHO‑approved vaccine.
- Request your digital certificate: Log into the MyHealthSG app, navigate to the “Vaccination Certificate” section, and download the PDF.
- Keep it handy: Save it in your phone’s wallet or print a copy—no need to convert anything, now.
And that’s it! Your Singapore Covid‑19 certificate is now ready to morph into an EU‑approved pass whenever you need it.
Bon voyage and enjoy the sunshine in whichever European country you choose—no more sudden quarantine headaches, just a smooth, passport‑friendly journey.
