Requirements for crew change and shore leave
1. This circular supersedes Port Marine Circular (PMC) No. 19 of 2022.
2. In view of the improving global COVID-19 situation, low impact of imported cases on our healthcare capacity, and the absence of signs of threatening variants, Singapore will stand down the remaining COVID-19 border measures.
3. From 13 February 2023, all non-fully vaccinated travellers entering Singapore will no longer be required to show proof of a negative Pre-Departure Test. Non-fully vaccinated short term visitors will no longer be required to purchase COVID-19 travel insurance. Applications are to be made directly to the ICA CREW system via digitalPORT@SG™. More information can be found at ICA’s website (
www.ica.gov.sg/enter-transit-depart).
4. All individuals aged 18 years and above (including short-term visitors) may receive vaccination and boosters under the Private Vaccination Programme (PVP). As this is a private arrangement, the vaccinations will be at the individual’s own cost. To book an appointment or for any enquiries, please contact the clinics directly listed at
https://www.vaccine.gov.sg/locations/pvp.
