Chinanews.com, October 17th. According to the website of the Chinese Embassy in Singapore, the validity period and format of the nucleic acid certificate have been adjusted recently. In order to facilitate travelers to China to grasp the relevant requirements, the embassy in Singapore will integrate and sort out the relevant notices previously issued. Make this process guide for your reference.

1. How to apply for nucleic acid testing

　　Passengers should apply for nucleic acid testing to the relevant authorities of the Singapore government as soon as possible after the itinerary to China is confirmed:

　　1. Necessary business and work matters should be applied to the Singapore Ministry of Trade and Industry for travel.

　　2. Newly boarded crew members going overseas to apply to the Maritime Safety Administration of Singapore.

　　3. Relevant national migrant workers who intend to return to the country, including those who hold work permits (Work Permit), technical passes (S Pass), and special passes (Special Pass) that are still valid or have been cancelled to apply to the Ministry of Manpower of Singapore.

　　4. Apply to the Ministry of Health of Singapore for education, humanitarian reasons and other circumstances.

　　The eleventh item "Proof that Destination Country has a Pre-Departure Test Requirement" (Proof that Destination Country has a Pre-Departure Test Requirement) can be announced on the official website of the embassy (www.chinaembassy.org.sg/eng) /lsfw/t1813302.htm) The screenshot is uploaded as an attachment.

2. How to make an appointment with a testing agency for nucleic acid testing

　　Passengers will generally receive an email approved by the relevant department within 5 working days.

After receiving this email, passengers should make an appointment with the designated nucleic acid testing agency based on the flight departure time. Personnel who have not obtained the approval of the relevant department cannot make an appointment.

　　Passengers should make an appointment for the inspection time within 3 days before boarding.

For example, if you take a flight to China on October 9, your appointment date should be no earlier than October 6.

　　For details of the application procedure, please refer to the link www.chinaembassy.org.sg/chn/lsfw/zytzs/t1822088.htm.

3. Check the relevant information of the negative test

　　After completing the test, passengers will generally receive a negative nucleic acid test certificate within 48 hours. Please check the following information carefully:

　　1. Check whether the information on the test certificate is correct, such as name pinyin, passport number, nationality, date of birth, etc.

　　The nationality of Chinese nationals (including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) should be correctly filled in as "CHINA" or "CHINESE".

　　2. Confirm that the flight time is within the validity period of the negative nucleic acid test certificate.

As shown in the picture, passenger Zhang received a test on October 11. If the test result is negative, he can apply for a flight to China before October 14 (including the 14th).

　　3. Uniform boarding requirements for nucleic acid test certificate.

Direct boarding with a test certificate is only applicable to direct flights to China. Passengers can use the same format of the nucleic acid test negative certificate and the nucleic acid test negative certificate published by our museum (website: www.chinaembassy.org.sg/chn/lsfw/zytzs/ t1822386.htm) for comparison.

If you meet the uniform format requirements, you can download and print the "Declaration Form for Passengers Boarding Directly with a Negative Nucleic Acid Test Certificate" on the website of the embassy (download link: www.chinaembassy.org.sg/chn/lsfw/bgxzz/t1818338.htm, no need Embassy review), when boarding, the form and a copy of the negative nucleic acid test certificate should be submitted to the airline for inspection and kept.

　　If personal information is inconsistent and the test certificate exceeds the validity period of 3 days, please contact the test agency immediately to correct or retest, otherwise it will affect your itinerary.

　4. Apply for a health code and health status statement

　　If the passenger’s negative nucleic acid test certificate is not or is not convinced that it is in a uniform format, or the passenger is transiting to China in Singapore (currently it is not possible to transit from Singapore to cities in Mainland China, if any adjustments are made, the relevant airlines shall prevail) or going from Singapore Transferring to other countries (regions) to China, you cannot board directly.

Chinese passengers need to apply for the green health code with the "HS" logo in advance, and foreign passengers need to apply for a health statement in advance, and present it to the airline when boarding the plane for inspection.

　　For details, please refer to the previous notice issued by the Embassy: www.chinaembassy.org.sg/chn/lsfw/zytzs/t1807989.htm and the small video on how to apply for a health code: https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/Dd4xsh02MKKQ6zbsRH5znQ (please Note that the "nucleic acid test certificate date" in the above link content has been adjusted to "test date").

Five, other matters needing attention

　　(1) Please do not alter the name, passport number, date and other information of the certificate without authorization, otherwise the certificate will be invalid.

The relevant certificates shall not be forged or altered, otherwise they will bear corresponding legal liabilities.

　　(2) For infants (under 6 years of age), if they plan to take a direct flight, as long as the accompanying guardian meets the flight criteria, nucleic acid testing is not required.

Others cannot board the plane without a qualified test certificate. Special circumstances should consult the embassy in advance.
