Changi Airport cuts traveller clearance time to 10 seconds with passport-less system

Close to 1.5 million travellers have benefited from the setup.

Changi Airport has cut traveller clearance time to 10 seconds from 25, following its full passport-less rollout.

As of 15 October, the airport has cleared close to 1.5 million travellers without having to present a passport.

Under the passport-less immigration scheme, Singapore residents can clear immigration on arrival and departure without showing a passport.

Foreign visitors, however, must still present passports on arrival but can use passport-less clearance for departures.

Despite the new passport-less clearance, the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) advises all travellers to carry their passports in case of checks at their destination or for verification purposes.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
