Predictions of when international flights may resume/bans lifted

[hb13]

I reckon it'll be gone by Easter at the latest. It seems like the decision has been made, and I think (and hope!) it's only weeks away!

If we can also get rid of mandatory masks, that would be great!

Italy is now ridding itself of masks and the vaccine mandate.

C'mon already with the masks, Singapore; at least outdoors! Come on!!!

I'd be happy with an either/or situation. Up to date vax cert OR a preflight test.
Turkey has this rule, I think UAE has moved to this.

Fiji, I am looking at you!

That's the main reason I didn't take a quick holidays there when I go away early April. No face masks outdoors I would have visited Singapore. Stupid rule.

We're the same. My wife asks me every now and then if Singapore have stopped being so mean to humans yet, so we can go spend money there again.

I think the current pre-departure testing requirement lapses on April 17, so your prediction is sound!

Looks like Singapore is going for a free for all ..... fully vaccinated that is.

All vaccinated travellers can enter Singapore without quarantine from April 1, no need for VTL flights

The pre-departure test two days before departure will remain in place for now. Read more at straitstimes.com.

"In the very near future the Health Minister will be making some further announcements about things particularly involving pre-testing of flights for those getting on flights to come to Australia.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison said there was a big change to pre-flight testing requirements to be announced soon. That will be an important milestone that’s not too far away from us now.”

FINALLY!!!!! Great news

For reference so people don’t have to click on it and support Murdoch press, basically says that the the Biosecurity controls will be allows to lapse on April 17, so predeparture testing not required from then on.

Shame it wasn’t a couple of weeks earlier!

We’re booked to return early May, so a reasonable margin for error!

My May UK itinerary and trip to Scotland Highlands just became a whole lot easier.

My trip to MEL on 8 April remains unaffected it seems Does anyone know if ( notarised) video supervised ARTs are acceptable for pre departure tests?

They are not for general tourism.

Is that definitely the case, i cant find anything that says video supervised tests aren't allowed?
