Malaysia-Singapore Vaccinated Travel Lane to begin this month
Malaysia and Singapore have agreed to launch an air-only Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) between Kuala Lumpur and Changi Airports. It is set to begin November 29.
It allows fully-jabbed travellers to travel quarantine-free between both countries but does not include cross-strait travel.
The Prime Ministers agreed that it is timely to progressively resume cross-border travel between both countries, in a safe manner," a joint statement said
"The VTLs will allow travel as our two countries gradually reopen our borders responsibly by balancing the need to recover our economies while ensuring safety," Malaysia’s Prime Minister’s Office said.
They said talks are progressing over reopening land borders in Johor.
"There is happy good progress in ongoing detailed discussions on a similar vaccinated travel scheme, to reopen travel across the Causeway and the Second Link, taking into account the public health situations in Johor and Singapore," a joint statement said.
