COVID-19 Vaccination Channels for Overseas Singaporeans

The Singapore Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Health have announced that Overseas Singaporeans (OS) are now able to receive vaccination in Singapore through the following two channels:

a. Receive the first dose upon arrival in Singapore without serving full SHN, then return to their resident country on the next available flight. Individuals can complete their vaccination regimen by repeating this process for their second dose; or

b. Receive the first dose upon arrival in Singapore, complete full SHN at a dedicated facility, and receive the second dose after the required dosing interval before returning to their resident country.

OS interested in making use of either channels should register via https://go.gov.sg/vaccinationchannels. Prior to travelling to Singapore, OS should also obtain the relevant re-entry approvals and return flight tickets to ensure they can return to their resident countries after their vaccination.

For more details, please refer to the MFA/MOH press release at https://www.mfa.gov.sg/Newsroom/Press-Statements-Transcripts-and-Photos/2021/09/20210911-COVID-19-Vaccination-Channels-for-Overseas-Singaporeans

It was a great time at the Singapore-Thai Chamber of Commerce’s virtual National Day celebration. Before the event, snack boxes of curry puffs, kueh salat, kueh lapis, and kueh kosui from “Oh Jackie” were delivered to the attendees. The event itself had interesting videos about Singapore, a loud “yam seng” toast, and cool “live” music by Dr Paul and his band. The STCC also took the opportunity to raise funds to help local communities affected by Covid-19. Kudos to the STCC for supporting the Singapore community and for arranging this fun event.
