SINGAPORE IS OPEN AND QUARANTINE FREE (kinda) - Crazy 31 Hour Travel Day - Will we get in?

[@LisaAndJosh]

What do you think of all the requirements to get into Singapore?

[@Walts-Travel]

That's alot. Hopefully by the time I'm better things are different.

[@keithkoh7711]

You need to be vaccinated aganist COVID-19 using approved vaccines and apply for a Vaccinated Travel Pass to travel to Singapore via the Vaccinated Travel Lane from approved countries.

[@Walts-Travel]

@@keithkoh7711 thanks. I travel alot so every country is different as far as requirements go.

[@Walts-Travel]

Some of my favorites are back in the saddle. Let the adventures begin!!!! 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@LisaAndJosh]

[@uwegrauert7680]

We wish you a good year 2022. Have fun in your life and thank you for your videos 🙏

[@LisaAndJosh]

Happy new years to you too! :) And thank you!

[@moragodofthunder]

Oh man, the Octavius scenes really got me. I’m planning my own around the world trip and am not looking forward to saying goodbye to my kitties (they will be okay but it’s so hard). Saying bye to family too (of course), but the kitty scenes especially hit home 😭

[@LisaAndJosh]

Yeah... we still think about it all the time. It's really, really hard, but he's so well taken care of that that takes the sting away a bit

[@TalesFromOurPocket]

Wow - that's a huge list of requirements! #worthit We're based out of MSP! Recognized the airport drive up before you said where you were. 🎉🎉. Also, I'm tired just watching you fly alllll that way. 😴🥱. Woohoo, Singapore!!

[@LisaAndJosh]

hey hey hey :) it was quite a lot, but definitely, definitely worth it. flying singapore air was great as well, i couldn't imagine a flight that long on a bad carrier

[@vickilawhorn8284]

Can't wait to see all your experiences in Singapore!

[@LisaAndJosh]

Singapore is amazing :) SO MUCH GOOD FOOD

[@DoACarl]

Singapore is FINE! Enjoy the amazing food you two!

[@LisaAndJosh]

THE FOOD IS SO GOOD :) thank you so much!

[@gachalife-gk4qz]

So happy that you guys made it to Singapore. Your videos are always a good mix of fun and practical information. Don't know when I will ever get to a place like Singapore- maybe when I retire 😔

[@LisaAndJosh]

thank you so much :) that's EXACTLY what we're going for! I hope you get to go soon, if only just for the food

[@cookingwithhua7237]

I'm so excited to see your Singapore travels! Glad you made it there!

[@LisaAndJosh]

us too! it was pretty stressful on the way over

[@jenniferlim2250]

Welcome to Singapore!! You can now eat in groups of five (non-related/non-family members). Please do try the Masala Thosai at Komala Villas (Little India), the special soy sauce chicken at Hai-kee (Chinatown Point) and the food at Hong Lim Market (near Chinatown) - the sliced fish bittergourd soup (2nd floor of hawker centre) is very good, so is the crawfish horfun/flat nooodles just behind it, and lots more. Be prepared to walk more to burn off the calories!

[@LisaAndJosh]

love that it's open again to 5 people :) it was really great to see the hawker centres full of people again! thank you so much for the recommendations!

[@JaeJoongFan]

Welcome to Singapore :) hope you enjoy your time here. Weather is slightly erratic these days- have an umbrella with you cuz it can rain suddenly

[@LisaAndJosh]

thank you so much :) the weather was totally crazy! rainsunrainsunrainsunHOT

thank you! :)

Singapore 🇸🇬 is high on my list,but until.then thanks for allowing me to live it through you guys.

[@LisaAndJosh]

Thanks so much for watching :) this was a long day, but a fun one for us

[@krystalanderic]

Hahah the math scene! TBH it sounds like a headache to get into Singapore, but love that the requirements are strict! It's been working for them to keep cases down and that's what matters!

[@LisaAndJosh]

it's definitely been working! I think it also has a side effect of keeping tourism down as well, but that's also probably what they're trying to do - not overwhelm the brand new system

[@NgocTran-wx7vh]

How long did you both stay in Singapore? I appreciate all the info you provided throughout your videos!

[@LisaAndJosh]

thanks so much for watching! we were in singapore for just under a week :)

[@jakegarbelotti2026]

Just did VTL last week and it was very easy! Singapore staff was super friendly at check in and Singapore immigration didn't ask for anything at all. Landed at 9pm, went to the hotel to sleep and got my results at 2am

[@LisaAndJosh]

Awesome! So happy to hear that it was easy. Is it true that the new rules involve testing every day for 7 days in a row?

[@jakegarbelotti2026]

@@LisaAndJosh Yes, day 1 PCR on arrival; Day 2,4-6 self test honor system; Day 3 and 7 at quick test center. It was very easy though!

[@sharonhou365]

Hi there!, thank you for the informative video. Did your passports get stamped when you pass the Singapore border control?

[@LisaAndJosh]

yep! and again when we left

Welcome to Tropical island. Me too, hate long haul flight, just too tiring.

[@LisaAndJosh]

it was, I think, the longest commercial flight available right now, which is crazy

[@PearlMaStudio]

Great Video! Quick question, how long did you guys have to wait in the quarantine hotel for your results back?

[@LisaAndJosh]

it was about 8 hours, and reports have been that it's getting faster as time goes on

[@ReiseVisionen]

Nice share my Friends. Have a beautiful trip. See you around.

[@LisaAndJosh]

thank you :)

[@nnic7641]

Awesome video! What was the turn around time for the COVID results on entry? Also, did u need to book the quarantine hotel yourself prior to arriving?

[@LisaAndJosh]

about 8 hours from when we got our tests done. we did have to book the quarantine hotel from their list of acceptable ones

[@JourneywithJenandDrew]

Gotta love a 2 day travel day! Or wouldn’t that be 2 days?… 😂 Oh my gosh Cup Noodles! 😍 We live on those when we camp!

[@LisaAndJosh]

haha - yes. so multifunctional, so delicious. honestly, it was difficult to keep track of time - we had jet lag for like 5 days straight. sleeping during the day, being wide awake at 2 am

[@davidteh7909]

Welcome to sunny (ok, pretty rainy these days) Singapore! Curious which quarantine hotel is that?

[@LisaAndJosh]

we stayed at summer view hotel - it was pretty good :) VERY rainy while we were there

[@emmacowley6918]

So cool you could be back in the US and now to Singapore so fun. I saw in the intro you went to Morrocco, will there be a vlog of that or was that, time out?

[@LisaAndJosh]

there will (maybe) be a vlog of that sometime in the future - we had to move ahead so that our videos lined up better with what we are doing now!

[@TheDailyDriven]

Yeah saying goodbyes are always tough. Nicee. My fiance and I just booked our honeymoon to Singapore in 2022. Looking forward to the continued vlogs in Singapore. The SQ+ hotel, is there a specific website or can it be my intended hotel I decide to stay at?

[@LisaAndJosh]

AWESOME - I hope it's not too hot when you get there :) when you fill out the VTP form, it gives you a list of hotels that you can book that are SQ+ there

[@sarakarwal3785]

This video answers my question. I asked in last video.🤦🏽‍♀️👍🏼

[@LisaAndJosh]

ha yeah - sorry we didn't reply to that, didn't wanna spoil what was up

Welcome, live long and proper. ✌

[@danielc2701]

In Singapore, it's live long and perspire. :)

[@gosikh]

The rules are still too strict. I hope Singapore gets their arrival process in order in the next few months. Glad you made it there in good shape. Was SQ empty? Did you not get a full row to yourself?

[@LisaAndJosh]

we did get a full row to ourselves, but there were more people on that plane than we expected for sure! i think we were among the first to do the VTL process from US -> Singapore, so yeah, a few kinks to be worked out for sure

[@thewanderingmeghan4818]

Kinda curious, and feel free to not answer if you don't want to, but did you guys get your booster shot when you went back to the States? I'm starting to get worried that not having the booster will be a detriment to travel soon, and wondering if I should fly home to get it, and then fly onward somewhere.

[@LisaAndJosh]

based on what we are seeing, getting a booster is going to be required for entry into SEA quite soon. it would be a good idea to start looking around to see where you can get it where you are. some larger cities are offering boosters to travelers.

definitely lol :)

Awww your cat wasn't very happy & I really feel bad for Octavia !!! Dogs & even cats can get stressed & separation anxiety ,so ...I recommend you to go home & stay there for a couple of months at least( half a year is better ) before heading off to another !

Hi I’m flying from uk to Thailand and connection through Singapore should I be aware of any requirements and does VTL only apply to people entering Singapore not transition through. Cheers buddy first time flying in 2 years don’t know what to expect lol

[@LisaAndJosh]

ooo, I think you do still have to do some paperwork to do, and you definitely need a covid test within 48 hours to transit. here's the link if that helps, also another link to the AA sherpa site that breaks it down a bit better - safetravel.ica.gov.sg/vtl/requirements-and-process apply.joinsherpa.com/travel-restrictions
