Indonesia and Malaysia last Wednesday (10 November) agreed to launch a vaccinated travel lane between the two countries in stages, as the COVID-19 pandemic situation improves in both.

Fully vaccinated Malaysians and Singaporeans will soon be able to travel between the two countries without quarantine.

Australia has finally lifted its ban on citizens travelling overseas without permission, while the two largest cities, Sydney and Melbourne, now allow vaccinated Australians to arrive without quarantine of any kind.

Malaysia and Singapore are looking to ease travel restrictions with announcements coming soon.

Cautious reopening. Some Southeast Asian nations (or parts of them) will soon open up to vaccinated travellers after more than a year of being shut since the COVID-19 outbreak.

The Tioman Island and Genting Highlands tourism bubble scheduled to begin on 1 October has been suspended indefinitely.

As soon as the COVID-19 situation in Malaysia shows stable improvement, both nations are keen and ready to revive free travel between us and Singapore.
