Both air and land VTL options are available, with links to official government resources below. | | | | |---|---|---| | | **To Malaysia** | **To Singapore** | | **Air VTL** | [Details](https://www.mot.gov.my/en/aviation/vtl) | [Details](https://safetravel.ica.gov.sg/vtl/requirements-and-process) | | **Land VTL** | [Details](https://www.imi.gov.my/portal2017/images/fail_pengumuman/2021/11_Nov/VTL_land_29112021.pdf) | [Details](https://safetravel.ica.gov.sg/vtl-land/overview) | In this article, we’ll go through the requirements for air VTL travel in more detail. ## Overview: Singapore-Malaysia VTL  Kuala Lumpur International Airport The Singapore-Malaysia VTL will commence from **29 November 2021,** with initial service limited to **six daily designated flights in each direction** between **Singapore Changi Airport and Kuala Lumpur International Airport.** Additional services and other new entry/exit points in Singapore and Malaysia may be added subsequently upon mutual agreement. If the COVID-19 situation in Singapore or Malaysia deteriorates, either party may suspend the VTL or adjust their requirements by giving 48 hours advance notice. ## Travel from Singapore to Malaysia Here’s the eligibility criteria for quarantine-free travel from Singapore to Malaysia by air | | | |---|---| | **✔️ VTL (Air) Eligibility Criteria From 🇸🇬 Singapore to Malaysia 🇲🇾** | | | **All** | 14-day travel history only includes Singapore and/or Malaysia Fully vaccinated with any vaccine on the [WHO EUL,](https://covid19.trackvaccines.org/agency/who/) or a vaccine or “approved by a stringent regulatory authority”^ Present negative pre-departure PCR test taken within 2 days of flight to Malaysia\* Download MySejahtera app ([Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=my.gov.onegovappstore.mysejahtera) \| [iOS](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mysejahtera/id1504055630?ls=1)) Register at [MySafeTravel](https://www.mysafetravel.gov.my/) portal Pay for [on-arrival COVID-19 test](http://airport.doctor2u.my/) Travel to Malaysia on designated VTL flight Take PCR test on arrival at KLIA\* | | **Short-term visitors** | Purchase travel insurance with min. RM100,000 (~S\$32,500) coverage for COVID-19 medical expenses Purchase **return** ticket to Malaysia on designated VTL flight | | \*Children aged 2 or under in the current calendar year are exempt ^Exception for children aged 12 and below, if they are accompanied by vaccinated traveller | | ### Nationality Unlike the [Singapore-Australia VTL,](https://milelion.com/2021/11/02/confirmed-quarantine-free-travel-to-australia-available-to-singapore-citizens-only/) there is no restriction on nationality. Any individual may take advantage of the VTL, provided he or she meets the rest of the criteria. However, certain nationalities may need to apply for a visa, based on existing requirements. ### 14-day Travel History Your 14-day travel history may only include Singapore and/or Malaysia. Unlike travel **to** Singapore, VTL or Category I countries cannot feature in your 14-day history. ### Fully Vaccinated Malaysia will recognise travellers who have completed the full regimen of COVID-19 vaccines approved under the [World Health Organization’s Emergency Use Listing](https://covid19.trackvaccines.org/agency/who/) or approved by a stringent regulatory authority, including those who have received different vaccine brands for their respective doses. Notice the additional “approved by a stringent regulatory authority” clause. It’s not yet clear exactly which vaccines fall under this clause, but Russia’s Sputnik could be a good bet. Children aged 12 or under based on their **date of birth** (not *year* of birth) will be exempt from this requirement when travelling with a fully vaccinated adult. ### Travel Insurance Short-term visitors must have travel insurance with a minimum coverage of RM100,000 (~S\$32,500) for COVID-19 related medical expenses. This requirement does not apply to Malaysian nationals. ### Pre-departure test (PDT) Visitors must present a negative COVID-19 PCR test result with the sample taken within **two days** before departure from Singapore. ### Flights Visitors must book a return flight on one of six designed VTL services between Singapore Changi Airport and Kuala Lumpur International Airport. The return flight requirement only applies to short-term visitors. ### On-arrival test Travellers must complete an on-arrival COVID-19 PCR test at BP Clinical Health Lab KLIA. They can then proceed to their declared accommodation to wait for the results via private transport, taxi or hired vehicles. Test results will take **1-3 hours.** This test must be booked in advance at [airport.doctor2u.my](https://airport.doctor2u.my/) ### MySejahtera app Travellers must download and register with the MySejahtera app ([Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=my.gov.onegovappstore.mysejahtera) \| [iOS](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mysejahtera/id1504055630?ls=1)), which aids contact tracing. Children aged below 12 years old who are travelling with their parents/legal guardians can be registered as dependents of the parents/legal guardians in the MySejahtera app. ### MySafeTravel portal From 15 December 2021, it is compulsory for travellers to register at [MySafeTravel](https://www.mysafetravel.gov.my/) portal before their flight. Registration opens seven days before departure. ## Travel from Malaysia to Singapore Here’s the eligibility criteria for quarantine-free travel from Malaysia to Singapore. Since the procedure for [VTL travel into Singapore](https://milelion.com/2021/10/15/complete-guide-singapore-vaccinated-travel-lane-vtl-scheme/) is fairly well established, I won’t go into this again. | | | |---|---| | **✔️ VTL Eligibility Criteria** | | | **All** | 7-day travel history only includes Singapore and/or VTL countries and/or [Category I countries](https://safetravel.ica.gov.sg/shn-and-swab-summary) and/or EEA countries [Fully vaccinated](https://safetravel.ica.gov.sg/health/vtsg) with any vaccine on the [WHO EUL](https://covid19.trackvaccines.org/agency/who/)^ [Complete SG Arrival Card](https://eservices.ica.gov.sg/sgarrivalcard/) Present negative pre-departure ART/PCR test taken within 2 days of flight to Singapore\* Take designated VTL flight to Singapore Take self-ART within 24 hours of arrival and report result | | **Short-term visitors & Work permit holders** | Apply for [Vaccinated Travel Pass](https://go.gov.sg/vtl-portal) Purchase travel insurance with min. S\$30K coverage (short-term visitors only) | | *\*Children aged 2 or under in the current calendar year are exempt ^Exception for children aged 12 and below, if they are accompanied by vaccinated traveller* | | For further resources, refer to the links below: - [Summary of Vaccinated Travel Lane Requirements](https://www-caas-gov-sg-admin.cwp.sg/docs/default-source/docs---cc/final-annex-18-nov-21.pdf) - [VTL Travel to Singapore for Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents](https://www-caas-gov-sg-admin.cwp.sg/docs/default-source/docs---cc/infographic-on-vtl-\(for-singapore-citizens-and-permanent-residents\)-18-nov-21.pdf) - [VTL Travel to Singapore for Short-Term Visitors and Long-Term Pass Holders](https://www-caas-gov-sg-admin.cwp.sg/docs/default-source/docs---cc/infographic-on-vtl-\(for-short-term-visitors-and-long-term-pass-holders\)-18-nov-21.pdf) ## COVID-19 testing | | | | |---|---|---| | **⚕️ Testing: Singapore-Malaysia Travel** | | | | **Location** | **Remarks\*** | **Price** | | 🇸🇬 Singapore | **VTL Air:** 2 days before departure (PCR) **VTL Land:** 2 days before departure (ART/PCR) | **VTL Air:** From S\$98 **VTL Land:** From S\$17.84 | | 🇲🇾 Malaysia | **VTL Air:** On arrival (PCR) **VTL Land:** On arrival (ART) | **VTL Air:** S\$80/113^ **VTL Land:** S\$30 | | 🇲🇾 Malaysia | 2 days before departure (ART/PCR) | From S\$20 | | 🇸🇬 Singapore | Within 24h of arrival (self-ART) | S\$5 | | *\*Children aged 2 and under exempt ^Rapid PCR test (1.5h): MYR 370 (Malaysian)/ MYR 470 (Foreigner) Regular PCR test (3h): MYR 250 (Malaysian)/ MYR 350 (Foreigner)* | | | VTL travellers from Singapore to Malaysia can expect to do a total of four COVID-19 tests. Travel to Malaysia still requires the more expensive PCR tests (unless you’re taking the VTL (Land) option), but travel to Singapore can be done with the cheaper ARTs. Travellers who have recently recovered from COVID-19 can be exempted from all pre-departure and on-arrival testing requirements when travelling **to Singapore**, subject to presenting [acceptable proof.](https://milelion.com/2022/02/16/psa-covid-19-patients-can-visit-qtc-ctcs-to-verify-positive-status-for-eased-travel-measures/) > [Big news: No more SHN, testing or “14-day stranding” for recently-recovered vaccinated travellers to Singapore](https://milelion.com/2022/01/21/big-news-no-more-shn-testing-or-14-day-stranding-for-recently-recovered-vaccinated-travellers-to-singapore/) For a rundown of the cheapest places to get your pre-departure test, refer to the article below. > [Cheapest pre-departure COVID-19 ART and PCR tests in Singapore](https://milelion.com/2022/02/04/cheapest-covid19-art-pcr-test-singapore/) ## Designated VTL flights Singapore Airlines has [announced](https://www.singaporeair.com/en_UK/sg/travel-info/vaccinated-travel-lanes/) that it will operate the following VTL flight schedule to and from Kuala Lumpur.  These flights will be open for booking from 10 a.m on 19 November 2021. SIA will label them as VTL flights “progressively” (meaning don’t worry if you don’t see the VTL label at first, so long as it matches the info above it’s fine). Scoot has also [announced](https://www.flyscoot.com/en/announcements/vaccinated-travel-lanes-flights?gclid=Cj0KCQiAqbyNBhC2ARIsALDwAsC6fyj4eoG4N8ee-6wNsa8tEgbMjVOLvGH3xCBrmpQkAEoHHgCHDaEaAmb-EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds) the following service via TR472/TR473, 4x weekly starting from 29 November 2021.  [Air Asia’s schedule:](https://support.airasia.com/s/article/Travel-Requirements-Singapore?language=en_GB)  [Jetstar Asia’s schedule:](https://www.jetstar.com/sg/en/travel-alerts)  [Malaysia Airlines schedule:](https://www.malaysiaairlines.com/sg/en/campaign/vaccinated-travel-lane-sin-kul.html?icid=mastheadbanner_n1_homepage_sg_vtl-sin-kul)  [Malindo Air schedule:](https://ftp.malindoair.com/news-events/2021/11/24/MALINDO-AIR-WELCOMES-KUALA-LUMPUR-SINGAPORE-VTL-LAUNCH) | | | | | |---|---|---|---| | **Flight** | **Days** | **Depart** | **Arrive** | | OD803 | Daily | KUL 0925 | SIN 1030 | | OD804 | Daily | SIN 1130 | KUL 1235 | ## Conclusion We now have a clearer picture of what the Singapore-Malaysia VTL will look like when it launches on 29 November 2021. While most of the requirements are expected, what’s interesting to me is the need to isolate at KLIA while waiting for the results of the on-arrival test. KLIA never struck me as a great place to hang out at even before COVID, and one hopes they establish some proper holding areas for what’s sure to be a surge of travellers. *Purchases made through any of the links in this article may generate an affiliate commission that supports the running of the site.

Your question is probably, can I transit KLIA and fly inter-state same day say….8-12 hours after arrival (assuming OA PCR is negative)? This, I am also wondering….I have colleagues planning 1-2 months back home for CNY if such transit flights are allowed (to Penang, KK, Miri, Kuching, etc).

You need to go through the testing on arrival, clear immigration, then you’re free to take another domestic flight or other modes of transport..

Reply  kc Reply to [Daniel](https://milelion.com/2021/11/18/full-details-singapore-malaysia-vaccinated-travel-lane-vtl/#comment-35306) 4 years ago And often flight departure delays or arrival delays for landings and now additional time at holding area for PCR test result after you get swabbed (hopefully no long long queues just to get swabbed), from the earliest departure, you might only leave KLIA mid afternoon or late afternoon if really unlucky………might be good idea to pack some drinks and snacks just in case starving while waiting at holding area for PCR test results…..

Singapore and Malaysia will start two-way quarantine-free travel from 29 November 2021, and we now have a better picture of the requirements. The Singapore-Malaysia Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) agreement is now active, allowing fully-vaccinated individuals to travel between the two countries with no quarantine on either side. Both air and land VTL options are available, with links to official government resources below. In this article, we’ll go through the requirements for air VTL travel in more detail. ## Overview: Singapore-Malaysia VTL  Kuala Lumpur International Airport The Singapore-Malaysia VTL will commence from **29 November 2021,** with initial service limited to **six daily designated flights in each direction** between **Singapore Changi Airport and Kuala Lumpur International Airport.** Additional services and other new entry/exit points in Singapore and Malaysia may be added subsequently upon mutual agreement. If the COVID-19 situation in Singapore or Malaysia deteriorates, either party may suspend the VTL or adjust their requirements by giving 48 hours advance notice. ## Travel from Singapore to Malaysia Here’s the eligibility criteria for quarantine-free travel from Singapore to Malaysia by air | | | |---|---| | **✔️ VTL (Air) Eligibility Criteria From 🇸🇬 Singapore to Malaysia 🇲🇾** | | | **All** | 14-day travel history only includes Singapore and/or Malaysia Fully vaccinated with any vaccine on the [WHO EUL,](https://covid19.trackvaccines.org/agency/who/) or a vaccine or “approved by a stringent regulatory authority”^ Present negative pre-departure PCR test taken within 2 days of flight to Malaysia\* Download MySejahtera app ([Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=my.gov.onegovappstore.mysejahtera) \| [iOS](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mysejahtera/id1504055630?ls=1)) Register at [MySafeTravel](https://www.mysafetravel.gov.my/) portal Pay for [on-arrival COVID-19 test](http://airport.doctor2u.my/) Travel to Malaysia on designated VTL flight Take PCR test on arrival at KLIA\* | | **Short-term visitors** | Purchase travel insurance with min. RM100,000 (~S\$32,500) coverage for COVID-19 medical expenses Purchase **return** ticket to Malaysia on designated VTL flight | | \*Children aged 2 or under in the current calendar year are exempt ^Exception for children aged 12 and below, if they are accompanied by vaccinated traveller | | ### Nationality Unlike the [Singapore-Australia VTL,](https://milelion.com/2021/11/02/confirmed-quarantine-free-travel-to-australia-available-to-singapore-citizens-only/) there is no restriction on nationality. Any individual may take advantage of the VTL, provided he or she meets the rest of the criteria. However, certain nationalities may need to apply for a visa, based on existing requirements. ### 14-day Travel History Your 14-day travel history may only include Singapore and/or Malaysia. Unlike travel **to** Singapore, VTL or Category I countries cannot feature in your 14-day history. ### Fully Vaccinated Malaysia will recognise travellers who have completed the full regimen of COVID-19 vaccines approved under the [World Health Organization’s Emergency Use Listing](https://covid19.trackvaccines.org/agency/who/) or approved by a stringent regulatory authority, including those who have received different vaccine brands for their respective doses. Notice the additional “approved by a stringent regulatory authority” clause. It’s not yet clear exactly which vaccines fall under this clause, but Russia’s Sputnik could be a good bet. Children aged 12 or under based on their **date of birth** (not *year* of birth) will be exempt from this requirement when travelling with a fully vaccinated adult. ### Travel Insurance Short-term visitors must have travel insurance with a minimum coverage of RM100,000 (~S\$32,500) for COVID-19 related medical expenses. This requirement does not apply to Malaysian nationals. ### Pre-departure test (PDT) Visitors must present a negative COVID-19 PCR test result with the sample taken within **two days** before departure from Singapore. ### Flights Visitors must book a return flight on one of six designed VTL services between Singapore Changi Airport and Kuala Lumpur International Airport. The return flight requirement only applies to short-term visitors. ### On-arrival test Travellers must complete an on-arrival COVID-19 PCR test at BP Clinical Health Lab KLIA. They can then proceed to their declared accommodation to wait for the results via private transport, taxi or hired vehicles. Test results will take **1-3 hours.** This test must be booked in advance at [airport.doctor2u.my](https://airport.doctor2u.my/) ### MySejahtera app Travellers must download and register with the MySejahtera app ([Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=my.gov.onegovappstore.mysejahtera) \| [iOS](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mysejahtera/id1504055630?ls=1)), which aids contact tracing. Children aged below 12 years old who are travelling with their parents/legal guardians can be registered as dependents of the parents/legal guardians in the MySejahtera app. ### MySafeTravel portal From 15 December 2021, it is compulsory for travellers to register at [MySafeTravel](https://www.mysafetravel.gov.my/) portal before their flight. Registration opens seven days before departure. ## Travel from Malaysia to Singapore Here’s the eligibility criteria for quarantine-free travel from Malaysia to Singapore.

Travel to Malaysia still requires the more expensive PCR tests (unless you’re taking the VTL (Land) option), but travel to Singapore can be done with the cheaper ARTs. Travellers who have recently recovered from COVID-19 can be exempted from all pre-departure and on-arrival testing requirements when travelling **to Singapore**, subject to presenting [acceptable proof.](https://milelion.com/2022/02/16/psa-covid-19-patients-can-visit-qtc-ctcs-to-verify-positive-status-for-eased-travel-measures/) > [Big news: No more SHN, testing or “14-day stranding” for recently-recovered vaccinated travellers to Singapore](https://milelion.com/2022/01/21/big-news-no-more-shn-testing-or-14-day-stranding-for-recently-recovered-vaccinated-travellers-to-singapore/) For a rundown of the cheapest places to get your pre-departure test, refer to the article below. > [Cheapest pre-departure COVID-19 ART and PCR tests in Singapore](https://milelion.com/2022/02/04/cheapest-covid19-art-pcr-test-singapore/) ## Designated VTL flights Singapore Airlines has [announced](https://www.singaporeair.com/en_UK/sg/travel-info/vaccinated-travel-lanes/) that it will operate the following VTL flight schedule to and from Kuala Lumpur.  These flights will be open for booking from 10 a.m on 19 November 2021. SIA will label them as VTL flights “progressively” (meaning don’t worry if you don’t see the VTL label at first, so long as it matches the info above it’s fine). Scoot has also [announced](https://www.flyscoot.com/en/announcements/vaccinated-travel-lanes-flights?gclid=Cj0KCQiAqbyNBhC2ARIsALDwAsC6fyj4eoG4N8ee-6wNsa8tEgbMjVOLvGH3xCBrmpQkAEoHHgCHDaEaAmb-EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds) the following service via TR472/TR473, 4x weekly starting from 29 November 2021.

While most of the requirements are expected, what’s interesting to me is the need to isolate at KLIA while waiting for the results of the on-arrival test. KLIA never struck me as a great place to hang out at even before COVID, and one hopes they establish some proper holding areas for what’s sure to be a surge of travellers.
