Since Singapore launched its VTL scheme last year, travel is back on everyone's horizons. With more variants like Omicron emerging, however, restrictions worldwide are ever-changing – and it can be daunting to plan your travels. Especially since Singapore has frozen its VTL temporarily until January 20.
If you're relying on Google to get updated on the situation around the world, it does get confusing. Thankfully, there's a Telegram bot that has curated relevant information from various sources – so you can get all your information in one place. Called TravelBans.org, the telegram group and website provides global travel restrictions – from the need for Covid-19 certificates, airline information, quarantine, PCR tests and more. They'll even recommend the best travel insurance to buy for a specific destination.
Once you're in the group, you'll be directed to the main menu which displays an extensive list of destinations. Tap on your chosen country and you'll be redirected to the existing restrictions for travellers into the countries. You'll also find links that will redirect you to the travelbans.org website for more in-depth information.
Things may look daunting right now, especially if you're waiting for the VTL to resume. But it's never too early to start planning.
