VTL Overview:
Conclusion
Singapore has rapidly expanded these VTLs and now also with countries where Singapore Airlines doesn’t fly (Finland). So this is starting to look promising for travel intra-Asia in early 2022, with more countries opening up without quarantine or with a concise one.
There have been 24,000 VTL arrivals to Singapore by November 14, 2021, of which 9,600 have been Singapore nationals or residents.
