Travellers should bring their passports and ensure they are valid for at least six months.<\/p>\n
All short-term visitors, including holders of in-principle approval for long-term pass, are required to submit their Singapore Arrival Card (SGAC) with health declaration via the MyICA mobile application within three days prior to their arrival.<\/p>\n
Long-Term Pass holders must notify ICA or the Ministry of Manpower of any change in their passport particulars before re-entering Singapore.<\/p>\n
Singapore permanent residents (PRs) who have renewed their passport should update their new passport details in their re-entry permit via the MyICA mobile app.<\/p>\n
Travellers are also encouraged to use QR codes for more convenient immigration clearance.<\/p>\n
QR code clearance is part of ICA\u2019s New Clearance Concept, which also includes initiatives such as the use of facial scans instead of fingerprints for motorcyclists and pillion riders.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThis has allowed ICA to increase clearance rates by over 35 per cent during departure peak periods, by an additional 7,600 travellers per hour, compared to pre-COVID levels in 2019,\u201d said the authority.<\/p>\n
Motorists are also advised to exercise caution when approaching Woodlands Checkpoint due to ongoing construction and road works as part of its redevelopment.<\/p>\n
Those driving foreign-registered vehicles should ensure their vehicle entry permit (VEP) is valid.<\/p>\n
Drivers without a valid autopass card, a VEP approval email from the Land Transport Authority or valid insurance will be turned back, said ICA.<\/p>\n
Any outstanding fines with Singapore\u2019s government agencies should also be settled.<\/p>\n
\u201cThose with outstanding fines may be denied entry into Singapore,\u201d said ICA.<\/p>\n
The authority also warned against bringing in controlled or prohibited items.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
