Has this approach been confirmed to work, that a traveller can get a test at the airport upon exiting immigration and immediately receive the result (before they must head back to an appropriate accommodation to isolate)?
And what would be the declared accommodation on the VTP?
https://safetravel.ica.gov.sg/vtl/conditions#after21
VTL (Air) conditions for entry on or after 21 February 2022, 2395hrs (SGT)
…e. immediately4 take private transportation, taxi, or private hire car from the airport to the place of accommodation as declared in the VTP (Air) application and remain isolated at the place of accommodation, apart from attending the supervised self-administered ART;
f. take private transportation, taxi, or private hire car to and from the Quick Test Centre (QTC) or Combined Test Centre (CTC), undergo a COVID-19 supervised self-administered ART at a within 24 hours of arrival in Singapore, and remain isolated at the declared place of accommodation until the test result is confirmed to be negative;

May I just confirm that there is no PCR test or antigen test requirement upon landing in Singapore afte Feb 22.
If this is true, then it makes the process a lot easier.

The video ART is now officially accepted for VTL arrivals:

under the current rules, you cannot connect on separate tickets in SIN. Nobody knows what will be the rules in June, especially when dealing with Asian countries !

Help! I am filling out the VTL application (https://eservices.ica.gov.sg/STO/home/vaccinated-lane) and under Nationality. There is no "United States". No USA, etc. Any ideas?
Also, it seems I need to do PCR test. The rule I saw is 2 days before, is it still accurate? Say, I am flying on Sat. I can do the test on Thu. Is that correct?

Thank you. I didn't realize the "American" option.. But looks like I run into another problem, It will not accept my vaccination QR code, saying my name does not much. But the QR code has my name next to it and it matches exactly.

I believe you'll need to write to the Safe Travel Office for help. There are many reports of issues related to the QR code upload. Others here might have a better idea as to what might be the problem.

Does one have a middle name and the other one doesn't? I thought they had solved that problem, but it was an issue at least when VTL first started.

Although it seems PCR test can be replaced with ART. I am not sure how strict they are with "Antigen Rapid Test (ART) result administered by a trained professional". They all ask us to do rapid test on our own now.

Could someone else confirm this is true?
We're looking to visit The Philippines in June, and spend a few days either before or after in Singapore. We have found great flights to and from Singapore on JAL, and planned to buy separate tix on SQ to and from The Philippines.
I was checking the guidance online and couldn't figure out if this was doable under the current rules, but definitely noted Japan wasn't VTL. Any idea why?
Obviously rules may change between now and then, but we'd prefer to book something permissible now and hope the rules don't change for the worse.
Thank you in advance.

You can however fly home SIN-NRT/HND-USA

There seems to be a Raffles center in terminal 3 that does arrival tests, though there's not good information about it that I can find.

Sure, but in theory the results should take 15 minutes; you'd have your results by the time you get to your hotel to drop off your bags. For a 16 hour layover I presume most people would want to have access to a hotel room.
