The short answer is NO. Therefore, some Singapore Vaccinated Travellers will still need to quarantine as of now, ranging from 7 to 14 days.
On a recent news, Singapore could go without SHN quarantine from as early as September.
Here are some countries with potentials to have quarantine-free travels to Singapore for the Fully-vaccinated travellers:
- Brunei Darussalam
- Canada
- China
- Germany
- Hong Kong
- Taiwan
UPDATE: 1 August 2021
All travellers with a travel history to Australia in the past 21 days will be subjected to a 14-day stay-home notice at dedicated facilities, said the Ministry of Health (MOH) In a press release. This is due to a recent increase in cases reported by Australia.
The new measure will take effect from Monday at 11.59pm.

However, Singapore is currently generally still close to outside world. Unless you have family, business, or urgent matters in Singapore, do not expect to get your travel approved to Singapore even you are fully vaccinated.
Most travellers will need to serve Stay Home Notice (SHN) of 7-14 days.

However, Singapore government is currently looking into more flexible guidelines for vaccinated travellers very soon. Do keep up to date on this website for more updates.
Entry Requirements for Vaccinated Travellers
As of today, the requirements to enter Singapore still vary depending on where you came from, not based on Vacciniation Status.
If you are coming from these countries:
- Brunei Darussalam
- Mainland China
- New Zealand
Furthermore, if you are one of these:
- Singapore Citizens (SC)
- Permanent Residents (PR)
- Long-Term Pass holders
You would not need to apply for Air Travel Pass. Otherwise, you will only need to apply for Air Travel Pass (ATP).
These countries are considered low-risk to Singapore for free travel.
Travellers from countries not listed above, and not listed in category above, definitely will have a hard time entering Singapore. They are very serious in their border control.
