Singapore will introduce a No-Boarding Directive (NBD) early in 2026, applicable to all inbound commercial and private flights. According to media reports and international business aviation flight services, the aim of the NBD is to deny boarding to “travelers deemed high-risk or otherwise undesirable before they arrive at immigration checkpoints.” Essentially, the NBD will be integrated into the existing advanced passenger information process that operators need to complete before departure. When NBD is active, operators will receive either an “OK to board” or “Do Not Board” response for each person on the flight. It will be considered an “offense” by Singapore to depart for the country carrying anyone who receives the NBD designation. Fines for each non-compliance event reportedly could reach $10,000.
