After several false starts, travel from the UAE to Singapore has finally reopened.

From Friday, the island state is welcoming tourists from the Emirates, as well as from Saudi Arabia and Qatar as long as they are fully vaccinated.

Singapore has imposed tough measures to try to control the spread of so-called Covid-19 and has been cautious in its reopening.

Travellers can only visit the Asian hub for tourism purposes via its Vaccinated Travel Lane or VTL scheme, and that is only applicable to a few select destinations.

In November, the country delayed plans to extend this scheme to the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, citing the much-touted Omicron variant of Covid-19 as the reason.

But from Friday, UAE travellers can finally fly to Singapore for a holiday.
