I just got back in one piece from Australia after a 30-day road trip + campervan situation, and because I nearly missed multiple flights (and did an insane amount of Googling), I wanted to consolidate everything I learned about travelling during COVID-19—so you can save, like, 198562174 hours of research. In this video, I walk through what you need before flying out of Singapore: booking the correct VTL (Vaccinated Travel Lane) flight (especially for coming back), doing your PCR test within the required window, sorting out visas (Australia’s ETA was a whole “why can’t I find it” moment), completing declaration forms, and getting your vaccination certificate from notarise.gov.sg (digital + printed, because different places prefer different formats). Then I share what it was like on the ground—like downloading the local TraceTogether equivalent (Service Victoria for Melbourne), staying updated because rules change constantly, and doing the required PCR tests on specific days (e.g., day 3 and day 7 in Victoria). I also talk about interstate travel within Australia and how each state can have totally different rules. Finally, I break down the stressful part: flying back to Singapore. I explain timing your ART/PCR properly, what happens on arrival (the airport PCR), and the 7-day routine of ART testing (self-tests on certain days and supervised ART on day 3 and day 7). My biggest takeaway: buffer time is everything—arrive earlier than you think you need.
