Even if there are no direct flights, it is still possible to travel to Tasmania by transiting through a different area or by interstate travel in Australia. You’ll have to check the specific airline for the flight details though as it would be more updated.\n     \n     Also, based on our knowledge, as long as your flight back to Singapore is a direct VTL flight and you’ve stayed in a VTL country (e.g. any part of Australia) for at least 7 days, it should be qualified as quarantine-free. However, do check with the airline or respective embassy to be absolutely sure, as well as for any latest updates.\n     \n     Hope this helps 🙂\n     \n     [Reply](https:\/\/thetravelintern.com\/ultimate-vtl-singapore-guide\/#comment-182417)\n4. ![X](https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/47af63c13e705170022ccaaa939dbdc5f2608af7b802ee090f973f20de14ccb7?s=50&d=mm&r=g)\n   \n   X\n   \n   [February 24, 2022 At 1:39 PM](https:\/\/thetravelintern.com\/ultimate-vtl-singapore-guide\/#comment-182517)\n   \n   Hi!

Yes, as long as you’re in a VTL country for the last 7 days before returning to Singapore. ### 2\) Where can I take my on-arrival ART test in Singapore? You can take an unsupervised ART test within 24 hours of arrival and submit the results [online](https://www.sync.gov.sg/) ### 3\) What if I test positive for Covid before returning to Singapore? This can be stressful but it’s not the end of the world! On the bright side, you can now skip the on-arrival test back in Singapore. The first thing you should do is to seek a Covid testing centre to obtain an official positive test result. Next, check your insurance to see what it covers for Covid-related expenses. Some plans allow claims for extra accommodation booked during isolation.

No pre-departure test from Singapore is required if you are fully vaccinated at least 14 days before travelling to Turkey. However, you’ll need to provide proof of your vaccination status. You may check the latest restrictions and requirements here: <https://www.istanbulsairport.com/en/restriction-sep> As for entry into Singapore, you’ll need to take either a PCR or ART test within 2 days before departure from Turkey.

Love your article! It is so helpful in many ways\! I would like to ask if travelling to Tasmania, Australia possible as there isnt any direct flights from Singapore to Hobart? I am planning to go around late March. Another question, the last returning flight back to Singapore is a VTL flight as stated in the SQ website but the first flight before transit is not stated as a VTL flight. Would it still be qualified as quarantine free? Thank you in advance Trini\!

Even if there are no direct flights, it is still possible to travel to Tasmania by transiting through a different area or by interstate travel in Australia. You’ll have to check the specific airline for the flight details though as it would be more updated. Also, based on our knowledge, as long as your flight back to Singapore is a direct VTL flight and you’ve stayed in a VTL country (e.g. any part of Australia) for at least 7 days, it should be qualified as quarantine-free. However, do check with the airline or respective embassy to be absolutely sure, as well as for any latest updates. Hope this helps 🙂 [Reply](https://thetravelintern.com/ultimate-vtl-singapore-guide/#comment-182417) 4. ![X](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/47af63c13e705170022ccaaa939dbdc5f2608af7b802ee090f973f20de14ccb7?s=50&d=mm&r=g) X [February 24, 2022 At 1:39 PM](https://thetravelintern.com/ultimate-vtl-singapore-guide/#comment-182517) Hi!

All you need is an official positive test dated between 7-90days (inclusive) before departure. ### 4\) On-arrival PCR/ART Test (SG) Travellers with a valid positive test dated between 7-90days are exempted from the on-arrival test. For all other travellers: – Mandatory unsupervised ART within 24 hours of arrival and submit the results [online](https://www.sync.gov.sg/) ## Mask Rules in VTL Countries ![Myeungdong Street - VTL Singapore](https://thetravelintern.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Myeungdong-Singapore-South-Korea-VTL-Itinerary-1024x576.jpg) Various cities and states in certain countries have different rules regarding mask-wearing so do check beforehand. \| \| \|---\| \| **Mandatory Mask-wearing Indoors and on Public Transport (Incl.

Yes, as long as you’re in a VTL country for the last 7 days before returning to Singapore. ### 2\) Where can I take my on-arrival ART test in Singapore? You can take an unsupervised ART test within 24 hours of arrival and submit the results [online](https://www.sync.gov.sg/) ### 3\) What if I test positive for Covid before returning to Singapore? This can be stressful but it’s not the end of the world! On the bright side, you can now skip the on-arrival test back in Singapore. The first thing you should do is to seek a Covid testing centre to obtain an official positive test result. Next, check your insurance to see what it covers for Covid-related expenses. Some plans allow claims for extra accommodation booked during isolation.
