Starting January 30, 2026, Singapore's No-Boarding Directive will allow authorities to prevent ineligible travelers from boarding flights. This pre-departure screening, using advance passenger information, is in line with enhancing border security by stopping potential issues before departure. Airlines face penalties for non-compliance, while travelers denied boarding must seek approval from ICA for future travel.
