It\u2019s definitely more of a stressful experience than when I travelled pre-Covid-19, and I didn\u2019t feel like I was on holiday until I landed in Australia. I had to do lots of prep to ensure I brought the right documents, and include the testing cycles in my travel itinerary so I wouldn\u2019t forget to do it. I did have fun after everything was sorted, but it\u2019s a lot to consider. Just remember to keep a checklist, and try to do the Covid-19 PCR tests at airports or travel facilities \u2013 you\u2019ll get the results back faster.\u201d \u2013 <em>Shruti, 27<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>France<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_249208\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-249208\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-249208 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/02\/vtl-singapore-pixabay-via-pexels-1.31.38-PM-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"vtl singapore | pixabay via pexels\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/02\/vtl-singapore-pixabay-via-pexels-1.31.38-PM-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/02\/vtl-singapore-pixabay-via-pexels-1.31.38-PM.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/02\/vtl-singapore-pixabay-via-pexels-1.31.38-PM-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/02\/vtl-singapore-pixabay-via-pexels-1.31.38-PM-1536x1097.jpg 1536w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-249208\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Pixabay via Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cI went to <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/best-french-restaurants-singapore\/\">France<\/a> for two and a half weeks. It was rewarding and I would do it again (especially because the people we met were so friendly towards Asians), but we did have some experiences that were anxiety-inducing. For example, we had to constantly stay updated on the changing travel regulations in Singapore and France. While we knew what the additional costs would be for the PCR and ART tests, VTL flights and additional swab tests, we were still surprised at how much it added up to. A tip from me would be to subscribe to VTL Telegram channels and groups for the country you\u2019re travelling to. There was one for France, and it was super helpful in crowd-sourcing information from fellow Singaporeans. Also, don\u2019t forget to factor in additional budget for emergencies because travel regulations and requirements can change quickly with Covid-19.\u201d \u2013 <em>Lisa, 27<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Switzerland<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_249209\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-249209\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-249209 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/02\/vtl-singapore-robert-stokoe-via-pexels-1.31.38-PM-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"vtl singapore | robert stokoe via pexels\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/02\/vtl-singapore-robert-stokoe-via-pexels-1.31.38-PM-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/02\/vtl-singapore-robert-stokoe-via-pexels-1.31.38-PM-1400x1000.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/02\/vtl-singapore-robert-stokoe-via-pexels-1.31.38-PM-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/02\/vtl-singapore-robert-stokoe-via-pexels-1.31.38-PM-1536x1097.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/02\/vtl-singapore-robert-stokoe-via-pexels-1.31.38-PM.jpg 1688w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-249209\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Robert Stokoe via Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cLast year, my friends and I went to Switzerland for 10 days. At first, we decided on Switzerland because we wouldn\u2019t have to take a PCR test prior to our flight. But this changed just a week before we took off, and we ended up needing to take a test anyway. When we arrived, we had to get tested at a test centre some time between day four and day seven \u2013 but again the regulations changed, and we only had to take a test before our flight back to Singapore. There\u2019s also documentation you have to prepare like PCR test results, the booking of tests there, and preparing a digital Covid-19 certificate so you can dine in at restaurants. I\u2019d recommend keeping a spare ART test kit with you for emergencies, and to also join the VTL group chats and channels on Telegram for access to useful information. While it was stressful, we did enjoy how lovely it was to breathe in Switzerland\u2019s fresh air without a mask!\u201d \u2013 <em>Megan, 31<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>United States<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_249210\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-249210\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-249210 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/02\/vtl-singapore-roberto-vivancos-via-pexels-1.31.38-PM-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"vtl singapore | roberto vivancos via pexels\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/02\/vtl-singapore-roberto-vivancos-via-pexels-1.31.38-PM-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/02\/vtl-singapore-roberto-vivancos-via-pexels-1.31.38-PM.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/02\/vtl-singapore-roberto-vivancos-via-pexels-1.31.38-PM-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/02\/vtl-singapore-roberto-vivancos-via-pexels-1.31.38-PM-1536x1097.jpg 1536w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-249210\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Roberto Vivancos via Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cI had to go to the US for a week on a business trip. On the day of my flight, I went to the <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/local-design-jewel-changi-airport-singapore-brands-shopping-dining\/\">airport<\/a> three hours early. Thankfully I did, as my pre-departure PCR test was rejected due to a change in rules by the US at the last minute. I was lucky that supervised ART tests were allowed, so I got that done quickly at the airport clinic. I experienced another setback on my way back to Singapore, when I had to take a domestic flight from Boston to New York. They were not familiar with Singapore\u2019s VTL arrangements, and didn\u2019t know that re-entry approval into Singapore wasn\u2019t required for Singaporeans. As there are a lot of additional checks when travelling, my tip would be to print all documentation, notarise and print your vaccination status (which you can do easily via Health Buddy or Singpass), and register for a <a href=\"https:\/\/safetravel.changiairport.com\/#\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Safe Travel Concierge<\/a> account \u2013 it contains a checklist on entry requirements into Singapore that\u2019s very useful.\u201d \u2013 <em>Jeslyn, 49<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn December last year, I went to California and Nevada for two weeks. If you\u2019re planning to take a trip to the US, you need to be prepared to spend ages at airport counters verifying your information. There\u2019s lots of paperwork to get sorted before departure, including last minute changes to testing requirements, and booking of test centres (this needs to be planned carefully because the clinics can be swamped). We also realised that because of Covid-19, several tourist destinations had closed down, or only had a handful of shops left. To avoid making a wasted trip, we checked in with locals to see if they knew the state of things before we headed down. Travelling in the middle of a pandemic is not for the faint hearted. Make sure you have savings beyond what you\u2019ll be immediately spending, get your work and school arrangements sorted in case you have to extend your stay, and most importantly get travel <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/insurance-policies-singapore\/\">insurance<\/a>!
