Indonesian Tourists Vital to Revival of Singapore’s Travel Industry

“A person must receive an endorsement or have prior approval before landing in Singapore. Thus, before they arrive, they must submit a request or permission to enter the country including providing information on their travel purpose, whom they will be meeting with, then it will be reviewed.”

Once business travelers from Indonesia have received approval, they can then proceed in booking their flights and other needs.

Upon landing in Singapore, Indonesian travelers must strictly carry out the activities they stated in their request thus will not be able to go shopping or visit tourist attractions as had regularly been done pre-pandemic.

Therefore, if Indonesian tourists are permitted to enter Singapore for a three-day event, then they will have to directly return home once the event finishes and forego any opportunity to visit friends, families, or exploring the city-state.
