Yellow fever is a mosquito-borne acute viral hemorrhagic disease caused by the yellow fever virus. Although Singapore is free from yellow fever, we remain at risk of importation and transmission of the virus, given our position as a trade and travel hub and the presence of the mosquito vector.

The certificate is also required for travelers with more than 12 hours airport transit in these.

- Travelers without a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate (e.g. unvaccinated individuals, including those who are ineligible to receive the vaccination, and travelers whose certificate has yet to become valid) are liable to be quarantined under Section 31 of the Infectious Disease Act, for up to six days upon arrival in Singapore. Quarantine must be served at designated vector-free government quarantine facility.
