Passports Out, QR Codes In: New QR Code Immigration Clearance System To Launch on March 19 for Car Travelers at Woodlands, Tuas Checkpoints

Say goodbye to fumbling with your passport at the counter – with this new system, you won't even need to present your physical passport once you're in Singapore.

Attention all frequent car travellers! Starting March 19, 2024, your border crossing experience at the Woodlands and Tuas checkpoints is about to get a major upgrade. The Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) has just announced that they’re rolling out a new QR code immigration clearance system that’ll make your life a whole lot easier.

Say goodbye to fumbling with your passport at the counter – with this new system, you won’t even need to present your physical passport once you’re in Singapore.

Generate Your QR Codes with the MyICA App

To get in on this game-changing QR code immigration clearance system, all you need to do is generate your QR codes using the MyICA mobile app before you hit the checkpoints. It’s super simple – just input your passport deets and create individual or group QR codes for everyone in your car. No more stress about forgetting someone’s passport or dealing with a ton of paperwork.

Streamline Your Border Crossing with QR Code Clearance

The whole point of this QR code immigration clearance system is to make your border crossing experience as smooth as possible. Instead of dealing with multiple passports and waiting in long lines, you can now clear immigration with just one QR code for your entire car.

Plus, you can do it all from the comfort of your own vehicle – no more awkward interactions with officers or trying to corral your family through the checkpoint.

A Few Things to Keep in Mind

While the QR code system is a total game-changer, there are a couple of exceptions to keep in mind. If you’re a first-time visitor to Singapore or you’re re-entering with a different passport than your last visit, you’ll still need to present your physical passport.

But don’t worry – once you’re in the system, you can use QR codes for all your future trips.

As with any new system, there might be a few hiccups along the way. That’s why ICA officers will still be manning the manual counters during the initial phase of the rollout. If you’re not quite ready to make the switch to QR codes, you can still present your physical passport to an officer. But trust us – once you try the QR code system, you’ll never want to go back.

The launch of QR code immigration clearance at the Woodlands and Tuas checkpoints is a huge step forward in modernizing Singapore’s border control process. By leveraging digital technology, ICA is making it easier than ever for car travellers to get where they need to go without sacrificing security.

So, what are you waiting for? Download the MyICA app and start generating those QR codes. With this new system in place, your next trip across the border will be a total breeze. Get ready to experience the future of immigration clearance – it’s going to be a game-changer.
