Brunei – Singapore VTL: What is the difference between a Reciprocal Green Lane (RGL) and a Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) to Singapore?
VTL customers can travel to Singapore from Brunei without a specific itinerary submitted ahead of arrival.
RGL customers are only allowed to enter Singapore for essential business and official travel reasons, and must be sponsored for entry and have a specific itinerary.
Please note that travelling out of Brunei is still restricted to essential travel as per Brunei PMO guidelines.
Travel requirements:
Regardless of travel type, an exit application may be requested by the Brunei PMO. Customers are advised to read about the requirements on this website prior to travel.
To travel on VTL flights, customers must be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 with the Pfizer-BioNTech/Comirnaty, Moderna, or other World Health Organisation Emergency Use Listing vaccines, with the final dose completed at least 14 days prior to arrival in Singapore. They must also provide proof of vaccination in the form of an electronic or physical vaccination certificate in English, issued by the Singapore or Brunei government. All short-term visitors and Long-Term Pass holders planning to travel on the VTL will need to apply for a Vaccinated Travel Pass (VTP) here.
RGL customers are recommended to fly on a non-VTL flight. If they fly on a VTL flight, they will be required to undertake all VTL requirements.

Customers returning on an RGL to Brunei are not required to take a pre-departure Covid-19 PCR test. However, having a negative Covid-19 PCR certificate taken within 72 hrs from the flight departure may reduce the length of self-isolation upon arrival.
All other customers on non-VTL flights entering Singapore are required to take a pre-departure Covid-19 test 48 hours before departure and an on-arrival PCR test at Changi Airport.
Quarantine:
VTL customers are exempt from quarantine/SHN in Singapore, but will need to serve quarantine upon return to Brunei.

GWP: Bonus Flight credits
How do I find out the value of my flight credits or how much my ticket is worth?
If you have not completed any sectors in your booking, you may check the amount of flight credits you have by visiting Manage Booking . Tick the “Check flight credit balance” box and enter your booking reference and family name to view your available credits.
If you have purchased any add ons with your ticket or hold a partially used ticket, please submit your enquiry using the “Other Covid-19 related assistance” option on our Assistance Request Form.
How do I find out the value of my bonus flight credits?
Bonus flight credits are awarded based on the original cabin class booked. If more than one class of travel is booked, the higher cabin class bonus will apply.
Bonus flight credits are applied as follows:
Economy: SGD 75
Premium Economy: SGD 100
Business: SGD 200
Suites / First: SGD 500
Your applicable bonus flight credits will be awarded at the point of rebooking, and will be used to offset the cost of your rebooked itinerary.
I booked my trip with several other travel companions. How are flight credits and bonus flight credits allocated among us?
When a booking is made for multiple customers, each customer receives a ticket in his or her name.
Under this policy, flight credits equivalent to the full unused fare and taxes of each ticket will be allocated to the customer whose name is on the ticket. The customer can then choose between bonus flight credits or opt for a refund. Only customers who select the bonus flight credits option will be awarded the bonus credits.
How can I use my flight credits and bonus flight credits?
Once you are ready to book your new travel, you can use your flight credits and bonus flight credits to offset the cost of your rebooked itinerary. You can choose to book itineraries for your preferred destination on your preferred cabin class and on any travel date as long as the trip is completed by 30 June 2022. If the cost of the new itinerary exceeds the total value of your flight credits, a top-up will be required. If the cost is lower, any remaining flight credits can be used for a second trip.
When you’re ready to rebook, submit a request via our Assistance Request Form and choose the “Change or rebook your flight” option. All rebooking fees will be waived.
Can my flight credits be split and used to purchase multiple bookings?
No. Flight credits may not be split to purchase multiple bookings. The credits must first be used to completely offset the purchase of one booking, before any remaining credits can be used to offset the purchase of a second booking.
Why is the offset of my flight credits capped at two ticket purchases? What if I have leftover flight credits after purchasing two tickets?
We regret that any remaining flight credits will be forfeited. Please contact us if you need more assistance.
If I booked more than one trip using my flight credits, can I book the second trip after 30 June 2022?
No, all flight credits must be used for rebooked travel completing on or before 30 June 2022.
