ICA to roll out passport-less clearance at Tuas and Woodlands checkpoints, Marina Bay Cruise Centre

The initiative will commence on 16 December.

The Immigration and Checkpoints Authority will roll out QR code clearance progressively at all automated lanes and Special Assistance Lanes SALs at the bus halls of Tuas and Woodlands checkpoints, commencing with Tuas Checkpoint, from 16 December.

The ICA will also implement token-less clearance at Marina Bay Cruise Centre Singapore (MBCCS), allowing travelers to clear immigration using facial and iris biometrics.

This initiative will enable passport-less clearance at land checkpoints and token-less clearance at air and sea checkpoints. With this, travellers can expect shorter queues and waiting times when clearing immigration.

“With the full implementation of QR code clearance at the bus halls, ICA would have completed the roll-out of the passport-less clearance initiative for all modes of transport at the land checkpoints. As of 1 December 2024, close to 28 million travellers had used the QR code for immigration clearance at the land checkpoints,” ICA said.

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.
