Awesome. The Pan Pacific hotel is the hotel I stayed in on my first trip to Singapore in the 90s.

It's a FANTASTIC hotel! And the breakfast (and the food in general) is outstanding.

When I first went there in the early 90s, the Satay Club was right near there which is one of the first outdoor dining areas. Then, it moved to Clarke Quay. Now, I am not sure where it is.

Fair to assume that my 2020 ticket for Canjam SG will be valid yes?

As a Singaporean I feel like you should clarify what's required for Singaporeans to have a fully vaccinated status.
Your second point is accurate:

• From February 14, 2022, persons aged 18 and older who have completed the primary vaccination series and are eligible for booster vaccination will be considered fully vaccinated for 270 days after the last dose in their primary vaccination series.

But your first point is a little misleading: Singaporeans do not need a booster shot to maintain their fully vaccinated status as long as it has not been 270 days (or 9 months) past their second shot.

For most Singaporean adults, their eligibility for their second shot only opened up in July 2021 (I took my second shot on 31 July 2021) so their fully vaccinated status will only expire around April and later (for me it would have been end April).

So most Singaporean participants may be able to join the Canjam in early April without the need of a booster shot to maintain their fully vaccinated status.

I have no personal take in this because I already took my booster on 15 Jan 2022.

Can we still purchase the tickets at the venue itself?

 

[chibiwings]

Venue is just 1 bus away from me. Going for the 1st time on this event.

I'm looking into visiting again but note Singapore is only open for a handful of countries, that only certain flights are allowed under the VTL rule, and that those flights are currently actually on hold. Of note: if the ica.gov.sg website is wrong then I am too.

Not sure if there's a way around this as for tourism there only seems to be one specific VTL solution available?

Yes, all previously purchased 2020 tickets will be valid for 2022!

Yes, tickets can be purchased onsite during the event.

We're expecting updated guidance regarding VTL travel to Singapore after January 21. https://safetravel.ica.gov.sg/vtl/requirements-and-process

Ha ha! Let's hope the big surge in cases makes them do the opposite of what I would expect Since governments often do the opposite of what we would think there's even a fair chance that will be the case.

Given the nature of the Omicron variant, it seems to explode in transmission and then peaks and troughs in about a 30-day period. The USA got hit pretty hard with numbers of cases. But, it seems to be past its peak already. So, I think by CanJam New York, new cases should be in a good spot. We will need to see when the peak infection rate of Omicron hits Singapore if at all. The timing of that could muck up the conference.

cayin & shanling not listed?

Dang, no update on the accepted countries list. Guess I'll have to wait a few more years.
