Following the reopening of Singapore and Malaysia land borders for fully vaccinated travellers on 1 April, the Land Transport Authority (LTA), together with the Singapore bus operators (SBS Transit Ltd, SMRT Buses Ltd and Transtar Travel Pte Ltd), will resume the cross-border bus services and taxi operations from 1 May 2022.

At present, fully vaccinated travellers may cross the borders (i.e., Causeway and Second Link) via private vehicles, such as cars and motorcycles. All fully vaccinated travellers, and non-fully vaccinated children aged 12 and below, are permitted to enter Singapore without the need to undergo border health measures, such as testing and quarantine.

Fully vaccinated travellers and non-fully vaccinated children aged 12 and below will no longer be required to take a pre-departure test (PDT) and unsupervised self-administered Antigen Rapid Test (ART) after arriving in Singapore, nor serve a Stay-Home Notice (SHN). This applies to fully vaccinated Malaysian cargo delivery personnel as well.

Fully vaccinated travellers will not be required to apply for entry approvals such as Vaccinated Travel Pass. They must have valid travel documents, such as their passports and Vehicle Entry Permits 1  (VEP), before arrival at the Checkpoints. Travellers can use the Vaccination Check Portal on the  SafeTravel website  to submit their digital vaccination certificates in advance.

From 1 May 2022, commuters travelling to Johor can either board a taxi at the Queen Street taxi terminal or book one through taxi companies with licensed cross-border taxi drivers. For more information, please refer to  LTA’s press release .

1 Travellers driving foreign-registered cars and motorcycles must apply for a Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) via VEP Digital Services on LTA’s OneMotoring website. They must also have LTA’s approval email and a valid Autopass card before entering Singapore. Foreign-registered vehicles without a valid VEP, LTA’s approval email and a valid Autopass card will be turned back. To facilitate smoother traffic flow, we will no longer accept applications for VEP or Autopass card at the Checkpoints. For more information, please refer to LTA’s  website .

SINGAPORE: Fully vaccinated travellers will be able to travel between Singapore and Malaysia via private vehicles such as cars and motorcycles from April, as both countries further reopen the land borders.

Both countries will allow all categories of fully vaccinated travellers and non-fully vaccinated children aged 12 and below to enter without quarantine or tests, including pre-departure and on-arrival tests.

In a joint statement on Thursday (Mar 24), Prime Ministers Lee Hsien Loong and Ismail Sabri Yaakob said it was "timely" to further reopen the land border as both countries transition to living with COVID-19. 

Singapore and Malaysia have also made "good progress ... in vaccinating their respective populations and managing the COVID-19 pandemic", the leaders said. 

They issued the joint statement after speaking on the phone earlier on Thursday. 

"Today’s announcement is a significant milestone in our transition towards living with COVID-19," said Mr Lee.

"It reflects the strong collaboration both sides have enjoyed throughout the pandemic and will help both countries emerge stronger from this crisis."

Prime Minister Ismail Sabri added: “Today’s announcement reflects the long-standing relations and multifaceted cooperation as well as strong people-to-people ties between the two countries. This will certainly contribute to the recovery efforts with positive impacts on the economies and livelihood of the peoples of both countries”.

Singapore to reopen borders to all fully vaccinated travellers on Apr 1; existing VTLs will be retired

Singapore first launched land and air vaccinated travel lanes (VTLs) with Malaysia  in November last year , after nearly two years of being shut due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Before border restrictions were implemented in March 2020, around 300,000 Malaysians would commute across the border daily for work.

EXPECT HEAVY TRAFFIC: MTI 

In a separate statement, the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) said travellers may cross the borders via private vehicles, such as cars and motorcycles, in addition to designated vaccinated travel bus services. 

Singapore and Malaysia are "progressively restoring other modes of transport, including cross-border public bus services", the ministry added. 

Fully vaccinated travellers and non-fully vaccinated children aged 12 and below will no longer need to take a COVID-19 test pre-departure or on arrival. They will also not be required to serve a stay-home notice. 

This also applies to fully vaccinated Malaysian cargo delivery personnel, said MTI. 

While travellers will no longer need to apply for approval to enter Singapore, they must have valid travel documents, such as their passports and vehicle entry permits, before arrival at the checkpoints.

"Travellers without valid travel documents will be turned back," said MTI. 

Travellers can also use the Vaccination Check Portal on the SafeTravel website to submit their digital vaccination certificates in advance.

The ministry added that all travellers, including Singapore citizens, permanent residents and long-term pass holders, must complete their SG Arrival Card within three days before arriving at the checkpoints. 

Motorists should also ensure that their vehicles comply with the emissions requirements in Singapore. 

"As there might be a surge in travellers looking to cross via the land borders, travellers should expect some traffic congestion at the Checkpoints," said MTI.

It urged people not to rush to travel if there is no urgent need to do so.

"This will allow travellers with a more essential need for travel, such as for employment or to reunite with their families, to do so more smoothly," added the ministry. 

Singapore to maintain 'measured approach' to reopening, says PM Lee

Vehicle entry permits needed, plan travel at least 2 weeks ahead: lta .

A vehicle entry permit (VEP) is required for those driving foreign-registered vehicles into Singapore, said the Land Transport Authority (LTA).

Drivers of foreign-registered vehicles must apply for a VEP online and receive LTA’s approval email before they travel.

"They will not be allowed to apply for VEP/Autopass cards or update their road tax and motor insurance for their existing Autopass cards at Singapore’s land checkpoints," said LTA in a news release on Thursday. 

Those without Autopass cards must collect their Autopass cards at LTA’s Johor Bahru Service Centre before entering Singapore. 

Drivers who are unable to present valid Autopass cards together with LTA’s VEP approval emails at Singapore’s checkpoints will be turned back to Malaysia, LTA said. 

The authority advised travellers to plan at least two weeks ahead of their intended travel dates to allow sufficient time for VEP application and approval. 

"Due to the expected increase in applications, we seek their understanding that LTA may take a longer time to process VEP applications during this period," LTA said.

"Leisure travellers are encouraged to defer their plans to allow those who with essential travel needs, such as for employment or to reunite with their families, to make their trips." 

The authority also said it would upgrate its systems "in anticipation of a significant increase in the volume of VEP applications". 

The expected downtime will be from Thursday to Mar 30 and vehicle owners will be able to access the system from Mar 31, LTA said.

Singapore and malaysia to launch vaccinated travel lane (land).

Singapore and Malaysia to launch Vaccinated Travel Lane (Land) from 29 November 2021.

Singapore and Malaysia have a long-standing, broad and multi-faceted relationship. Our bilateral trade, investment and tourism ties are robust, and our people share a close affiliation with each other. COVID-19 has disrupted the people-to-people connection and separated families in the two countries for many months.

To further restore the connectivity between the two countries, Singapore and Malaysia will launch a Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) across the Causeway from 29 November 2021.

The VTL (Land) will be rolled out in a safe and calibrated manner. In the first phase, travellers will travel on designated VTL buses. Travellers have to be citizens, permanent residents or long-term pass holders of the country that they are entering 1 . This is to give priority for those who have been working in either country, to visit their families.

Singapore and Malaysia aim to progressively expand the VTL (Land) to include more travellers, including general travellers, taking into account the public health situation. Subsequently we will also work towards restoring travel through Tuas Second Link. Together with the VTL between Changi Airport and Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), this will enhance the close socio-economic ties between our countries and people.

Prime Minister, Mr Lee Hsien Loong, said, “Malaysia is Singapore’s closest neighbour and the two countries share deep and warm relations. The Causeway was one of the busiest land borders in the world before the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted our cross-border activities. The launch of the VTL (Land) is a big step towards reconnecting our people and economies, and will further enhance our bilateral relationship.”

Minister for Trade and Industry, Mr Gan Kim Yong, said, “We understand that many workers from both Singapore and Malaysia have not been able to see their families for many months. The launch of the VTLs between Singapore and Malaysia will enable them to travel home to reunite with their families. We are starting the VTL (Land) in a safe and calibrated manner, so that we can progress smoothly. We seek the understanding of workers who may not be able to purchase a bus ticket to travel home immediately due to limited capacity in the initial phase of the launch. We will continue to work with Malaysia to expand the VTL (Land) arrangement to more travellers in the coming weeks.”

More details about the VTL (Land) with Malaysia is at Annex .

PRIME MINISTER’S OFFICE SINGAPORE 24 NOVEMBER 2021

Eligibility of Travellers

Only the following groups of travellers will be allowed to enter Singapore under the VTL (Land) arrangement.

Traveller must be a Singapore Citizen, Singapore Permanent Resident, or a holder of a Singapore-issued Long-Term Pass (i.e. Work Permit, Employment Pass, Student’s Pass, or Long-Term Visit Pass).

In-Principle Approval Holders of a Singapore-issued Long-Term Pass and Foreign Short Term Visitors are not eligible to travel under the VTL (Land) arrangement currently. These travellers may wish to consider other Safe Travel Lanes for entry into Singapore.

Vaccination

All VTL travellers must have been fully vaccinated 6 and present a digital proof of vaccination that is recognised by the Singapore authorities 7 , issued in any VTL country 8 or Singapore. This is necessary to guard against forgery and verify that the certificate is issued by a trusted issuer and belongs to the VTL traveller.

Unvaccinated travellers who are aged 12 and below in this calendar year can travel to Singapore via the VTL (Land) if accompanied by a fully vaccinated VTL traveller.

Singapore Citizens, Permanent Residents and Long-Term Pass Holders who have been vaccinated overseas (i.e. issued with foreign digital vaccination certificate outside of Singapore) are reminded to upload their vaccination certificate in the electronic health declaration card via the electronic SG Arrival Card, prior to arriving in Singapore.

Singapore-Malaysia land VTL: What documents do I need to enter Malaysia?

SINGAPORE - Quarantine-free travel across the Causeway began under the land vaccinated travel lane (VTL) on Monday (Nov 29).

Only citizens, permanent residents and long-term pass holders of the country travellers are entering can use the land VTL for now.

The Straits Times looks at what documentation and protocols are needed when travelling to Malaysia from Singapore under the land VTL.

Q: What do I need to do to travel from Singapore to Malaysia via the land VTL?

A: Travellers need to have a bus ticket that displays their name as is on their passport, as well as the correct date and time of their trip.

They should also register at least seven days before their travel date for a vaccinated travel pass on the MySafeTravel portal and upload their Covid-19 vaccination proof. People vaccinated in Singapore can get this proof by downloading a Vaccination HealthCert using the Notarise portal.

Passengers will need to take a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test or a professionally administered antigen rapid (ART) test within two days prior to departure.

This means that if the pre-departure test is taken on Dec 6, it will be valid for departure up to Dec 8, 11.59pm.

Children aged two and below - based on calendar year - are exempt from the pre-departure test.

Travellers who have taken a PCR test in Singapore for overseas travel will receive a digital test result certificate.

Those who do not receive the digital test result certificate or have taken a professionally administered ART test can request a physical certificate from the clinic. They have to digitally authenticate their test results with the clinic or via the Notarise website.

At the bus terminals in Singapore, travellers will need to show a valid pre-departure Covid-19 test, bus ticket, vaccination certificate and a copy of their long-term pass, if applicable.

Those who are vaccinated in Singapore can display their vaccination status using the Notarise online portal, HealthHub or TraceTogether apps.

Travellers must have passports with more than six months of validity. The passport must prove that the traveller has remained in Singapore for 14 days in a row before departing for Malaysia.

They should also download the MySejahtera app developed by the government of Malaysia that is used to monitor the Covid-19 outbreak there.

Proof of travel insurance is optional for now under the land VTL but will be required in the future when applications open to short-term travellers.

Q: Can I use an approved travel pass for the air VTL to travel under the land VTL to Malaysia?

A: No. Travellers who present a vaccinated travel pass applied for under the air VTL to fly to Malaysia will be denied boarding by the bus operator. They will need to make a new application.

Q: Do I need to buy a bus ticket for my child, if he is 12 years old or younger?

A: Yes, children must have their own bus tickets. They do not need vaccination certificates but are required to be accompanied by a vaccinated adult under the VTL.

Q: Can I transfer my bus ticket to someone else?

A: No. Bus tickets cannot be transferred or refunded.

One of the two bus operators, Transtar Travel, also does not allow travellers to update their passport details after purchasing their tickets. Those who fail to enter their details correctly at the point of purchase will be denied entry.

The other bus operator, Handal Indah, allows passengers to update personal details keyed in wrongly such as passport expiry date and passport number by e-mailing [email protected]

Travellers can purchase their bus tickets only online.

Public Health Advisory

Travellers should refer to the ICA website for the latest information on travelling to/from or transiting through Singapore. Travellers seeking to enter Singapore should comply with prevailing Public Health (including COVID-19) as well as General Entry Requirements listed on the Singapore immigration website ( http://www.ica.gov.sg/enter-transit-depart/entering-singapore ) to ensure a smooth journey.

For information on health-related entry requirements for Malaysia, travellers may refer to Malaysia’s MySafeTravel website ( https://mysafetravel.gov.my ) for more details. Travellers can stay updated on the COVID-19 situation in Malaysia by checking the Malaysian Ministry of Health’s website ( http://covid-19.moh.gov.my ).

Entry and Exit

Visa Requirements

Singaporeans do not require a visa to enter Malaysia for up to 30 days. However, for onward travel from Malaysia to a third country, Singaporeans may be required to hold a valid visa. It is thus advisable to obtain a visa for onward travel, if necessary, before the start of your journey. Applying for a visa en-route to your destination in Malaysia or at the country you intend to visit may be difficult.

Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC)

The Immigration Department of Malaysia requires foreign nationals to complete the Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) prior to their arrival in Malaysia. However, Singapore Passport holders are exempt from this requirement at all entry points. Singaporeans who intend to enrol their fingerprints for access to automated immigration clearance via the e-gates on subsequent entry should submit the MDAC three days prior to their arrival in Malaysia.

Malaysia Automated Clearance System (MACS)

Singaporeans who have applied for use of the Malaysia Automated Clearance System (MACS) are reminded that the facility is only available at land checkpoints at Johor (Bangunan Sultan Iskandar and Kompleks Sultan Abu Bakar). MACS is meant to facilitate faster immigration clearance for exit from/entry into Johor and cannot be used as a transit facility for onward flights out of Malaysia.

General Immigration Matters

• Singapore passports must be valid for more than 6 months at the time of entry.
• When you enter or depart Malaysia, check that your passport is stamped before leaving the immigration booth.
• Do not pass the immigration booths that are unattended. You should not enter or leave Malaysia without having your travel documents processed by a Malaysian immigration officer and ensuring that your passport is stamped correctly.
• If you are entering Malaysia for internship or employment purpose, please ensure that the proper approval is obtained from the Malaysian immigration authorities prior to your arrival. Please approach the Malaysian High Commission in Singapore ( https://www.kln.gov.my/web/sgp_singapore/home ), Immigration Department of Malaysia (JIM) ( https://www.imi.gov.my ), and JIM’s Expatriate Services Division ( https://esd.imi.gov.my/portal ) for information or clarification on the relevant passes and entry requirements.
• Please ensure your passport is in good condition. Passports with signs of damage (i.e. tear, water damage) may not be accepted for entry into Malaysia.

Loss of Passport

• If your Singapore passport is lost or stolen when you are in Malaysia, make a police report immediately at the nearest local police station.
• Report the loss  online via ICA e-Services immediately, if you have a valid Singpass account.
• After reporting the loss, ICA e-Services will prompt you to apply and pay for a temporary travel document, known as a Document of Identity (DOI).
• Once the online application is approved and ready for collection, the Singapore High Commission in Kuala Lumpur or Consulate-General in Johor Bahru, depending on your selection, will contact you for collection.
• If you do  not  have a valid Singpass account, you should bring the police report and two passport-sized photographs to the Singapore High Commission in Kuala Lumpur or Consulate-General in Johor Bahru to apply, pay, and obtain the DOI.
• The DOI, which is chargeable, is only valid for one-way travel back to Singapore.
• As there are some administrative procedures involved in issuing a DOI, our offices may not be able to issue the document immediately and you may have to extend your stay in Malaysia.
• For exiting Malaysia with a DOI, you may be required to apply for a special pass from the Malaysian Immigration Headquarters nearest to your point of departure.
• You can apply for a new passport after you have returned to Singapore.

Customs Requirements

• For a comprehensive list of dutiable and duty-free goods, as well as customs requirements, please refer to  https://www.customs.gov.my/en/tp/Pages/tp_ppel.aspx   for more information.
• All visitors to Malaysia are required to declare dutiable goods at the customs. There are currency exchange control restrictions on bringing large amounts of Malaysian ringgit or foreign currencies into or out of the country. Please refer to  https://www.customs.gov.my/en/tp/Pages/tp_cec.aspx  for more information. 

Consular Assistance

Singaporeans who require consular assistance may contact the Singapore High Commission in Kuala Lumpur or the Consulate-General in Johor Bahru using the contact details provided on the sidebar. Singaporeans in Malaysia are strongly encouraged to e-register with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at  https://eregister.mfa.gov.sg/  so that they can be contacted, should the need arise.

Singaporeans may also connect with the Singapore High Commission in Kuala Lumpur through our Telegram channel ( https://t.me/SHCKL ), Facebook Page ( https://www.facebook.com/SingaporeHighComKL ), and website ( https://www.mfa.gov.sg/kl ).

Safety and Security

Take general precautions to ensure your personal security in Malaysia such as:

• Carry your personal belongings on the side away from the street.
• Do not carry too much cash or display expensive jewellery or accessories (such as watches or bags) on your person.
• Do not leave your belongings unattended when in crowded public places.
• Ensure that you have your travel documents (i.e. passport) on your person at all times.
• Do not leave important documents (like passport) or valuables in plain sight in your car. All loose electronic items, bags or belongings should be stowed away, out of sight.
• Avoid isolated, unfamiliar places and places with a high known incidence of crime especially at night and if alone. Opt for well-lit and well-travelled areas which will be safer and reduce the risk of being a victim of crime.
• There have been occasional reports of alleged scams, robbery and rape incidents involving public transport providers as well as Grab and Uber in Malaysia. Hence, it is important to exercise the usual precautions and common sense when taking public/shared transportation.
• Exercise caution and prudence at all times and avoid large gatherings and demonstrations. Monitor media reports closely or check with the Singapore High Commission in Kuala Lumpur or Consulate-General in Johor Bahru on the situation.

Travel Funds & Valuables:

• In Malaysia, major credit cards such as Visa and Mastercard are accepted by local established retailers. Avoid carrying too much cash.
• If money and valuables are stolen or lost, make a police report at the nearest police station.
• In an emergency, you can arrange for funds to be remitted to you by your family or friends through a bank. Emergency funds can also be remitted to you via the Singapore High Commission in Kuala Lumpur or Consulate-General in Johor Bahru; if your family or friends deposit funds with the Singapore Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Consular Directorate.

Malaysia imposes severe penalties including death for possession or trafficking of even small amount of illegal drugs. Do not convey or transport any parcel, especially across the border when asked by a stranger. Should such parcels contain illegal drugs, you risk being found guilty of the possession, smuggling or trafficking of drugs. You should also never leave your belongings unattended or under the “care” of any stranger.

Additional information

Driving of Foreign-registered Vehicle in Malaysia:

• Consider applying for the International Driving Permit (IDP) for driving in Malaysia. The IDP is recognised worldwide and is also a useful form of identification.
• Singaporeans in Malaysia who hold a long-term stay visa for employment or residency must obtain a Malaysia driving licence if they want to drive in Malaysia. Those who possess a valid foreign driving licence may contact the Road Transport Department of Malaysia (JPJ) to seek full information on the procedures in driving licence conversion.
• Foreigners driving vehicles in Malaysia can check and make payment for their fines issued by the Royal Malaysian Police (RMP) through the MyBayar website or mobile application. For more information, please visit the MyBayar website or RMP Traffic Department’s Facebook page.
• The High Commission in Kuala Lumpur and the Consulate-General in Johor Bahru are able to certify true copies of the Singapore driving license. For other requirements, Singaporeans may check with JPJ directly. JPJ’s contact details are: Road Transport Department of Malaysia (JPJ) Wilayah Persekutuan, Kuala Lumpur Lot 14264, Jalan Genting Klang, 53300 Setapak. Tel : +60 3 40241200

Hospitalisation and Death:

• In the case of an accident or medical emergency, call 999. Any injured or sick persons are usually brought to the nearest state hospital.  A medical transfer to Singapore by ambulance is possible. However, the superintending doctor in the Malaysian hospital as well as the receiving hospital in Singapore will need to consent to the transfer. The cost of medical transfer is to be borne by the individual/medical insurance. The High Commission in Kuala Lumpur or the Consulate-General in Johor Bahru can provide a list of service providers for such medical transfers.
• In the event of the death of a Singaporean, specific approval from the local authorities (like hospital and/or police) is required before the remains can be claimed for repatriation or cremation. An undertaker can be appointed to assist in this and to obtain all other necessary related documentation.

General Travel Advice

Overseas Travel – Be Informed & Be Safe [Updated on 5 February 2024]

Singaporeans planning overseas travel are reminded to take the necessary precautions, including being prepared to deal with accidents, natural disasters or terrorist attacks. Singaporeans are also reminded to be familiar with your destination’s local laws, customs, and COVID-19 regulations.

Demonstrations do occur in major cities across the world. Such demonstrations can sometimes escalate into violence. It is important for Singaporeans to keep abreast of local news, avoid any protests or demonstrations and heed the advice of the local authorities.

When participating in outdoor leisure activities overseas, Singaporeans should be mindful that certain sporting activities, especially in open seas, may carry risks. Besides ensuring that one has the physical competencies and appropriate condition to undertake the activity, every effort should be made to ascertain if the trip organiser or guide is reliable and competent, and that appropriate safety and contingency plans are in place. When in doubt, Singaporeans should consult the relevant professional bodies or sporting associations for specific advice.

For those planning to travel, here are some tips:

Before travelling

• Familiarise yourself with our network of overseas missions.
• Purchase comprehensive travel insurance and be familiar with the terms and coverage.
• Equip yourself with research about your destination’s entry requirements, current situation, local laws and customs.
• eRegister with us on our website ( www.mfa.gov.sg ) so that we may reach out to you during an emergency.

While travelling

• Always take care of your personal safety, remain vigilant and monitor local weather news, advisories, and security developments.
• Exercise caution around large gatherings and avoid locations known for demonstrations or disturbances.
• Be prepared for possible delays and last-minute changes in travel plans especially during unforeseen events such as natural disasters, social unrest or terror attacks.
• Stay connected with your friends and family. Inform them of your whereabouts and provide them with your overseas contact details.
• In the event that you require consular assistance, please contact the nearest Singapore Overseas Mission or call the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Duty Office at +65 6379 8800/+65 6379 8855.

Advisory: Email Scams

There have been reports of individuals receiving scam emails/messages purportedly sent from friends in distress overseas. These emails/messages typically originate from an email address/social media known to the receiver bearing claims of the sender getting into trouble overseas and urgently requesting financial assistance. The sender would also claim to have approached a Singapore Embassy/Consulate and the local Police for help to no avail.

MFA takes the safety of all Singaporeans very seriously.  Singaporeans in distress approaching our Overseas Missions for assistance will be rendered with all necessary consular assistance.  If you receive such emails/messages from purported friends seeking funds transfers, we strongly advise you to call them first to verify the authenticity of the emails/messages before responding to their request.  It is also not advisable to give out any personal information such as NRIC/passport numbers, address, telephone number, etc.  Any form of reply, even one of non-interest, could result in more unsolicited emails.  Members of the public who suspect that they have fallen prey to such scams should report the matter to the Police immediately.  Should Singaporeans abroad require consular assistance, they can contact the nearest Singapore Overseas  Mission  or call the Ministry of Foreign Affairs 24-hr Duty Office at +65 6379 8800/+65 6379 8855.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is a ministry of the Government of Singapore responsible for conducting and managing diplomatic relations between Singapore and other countries and regions.

Travellers aged between 18 to 59 must be administered with two doses of the approved vaccines to be considered fully-vaccinated for vaccinated travel, while those who are aged 60 and above must be administered with three doses.

[This story is updated on 31 March 2022 with the latest information released by MITI on 30 March 2022 .]

Starting 1 April 2022, Singapore and Malaysia will allow all fully-vaccinated travellers to cross the land border without undergoing quarantine on arrival, as well as drop all COVID-19 testing (including both pre-departure and on-arrival testing).

Malaysia-Singapore land travel: SG Arrival Card scrapped for Singapore Residents and LTP Holders

From 15 April, Singapore Residents and LTP Holders can skip the SG Arrival Card when entering from the land border with Malaysia.

Singapore and Malaysia reopened their land border on 1 April 2022, allowing fully vaccinated travellers to cross by any mode of transport, with no testing, quarantine or travel insurance requirements. 

To simplify the travel process and alleviate congestion, the ICA has announced that from Friday 15 April 2022, fully vaccinated Singapore residents and long-term passholders will no longer be required to complete the SG Arrival Card before entering Singapore via the land border with Malaysia. 

SG Arrival Card scrapped for selected land travellers

Currently, travellers to Singapore are required to complete a free-of-charge SG Arrival Card within three days before arrival. This applies to everyone , regardless of nationality or mode of entry. 

The SG Arrival Card requires the submission of personal particulars, vaccination proof (not required for those vaccinated in Singapore), and a health declaration. 

From 15 April 2022 , this requirement will be waived for all Singapore residents (i.e. Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents), as well as Long-term Passholders arriving from Malaysia via the land checkpoints. 

Those vaccinated outside Singapore can submit their digital overseas vaccination certificate via the ICA’s Vaccination Check Portal prior to arrival, in order to get a vaccination certificate acceptance letter to expedite proceedings. Those unable to do so must present their vaccination certificate to ICA officers at the manual immigration counters upon arrival in Singapore.

For avoidance of doubt, non-Singapore residents/long-term passholders arriving via the land border, and all arrivals via Changi Airport/ferry terminals will still need to complete the SG Arrival Card.

How about land travel to Malaysia?

The land travel process to Malaysia remains unchanged for now, with visitors still required to download the MySejahtera app and verify their COVID-19 vaccination certificate. 

Road charges and tolls, waived until 8 April 2022, are now in effect once again. 

Full Guide: Singapore-Malaysia Land Travel

For a full guide to travelling from Singapore to Malaysia (or vice versa) via the land border, do refer to the post below. 

Complete Guide: Singapore – Malaysia land travel from 1 April

From 15 April 2022, fully vaccinated Singapore residents and long-term passholders will no longer be required to complete an SG Arrival Card when arriving via the land border with Malaysia. 

While the SG Arrival Card isn’t particularly difficult to fill, it requires internet access, which not everyone making a day-trip to Malaysia might purchase. Moreover, I can imagine the lines getting held up by people who forgot to do it ahead of time. Multiplied by hundreds of cards, that represents a whole lot of inefficiency. 

This means that vaccination requirement aside, entering Singapore from Malaysia will be just like pre-COVID days for Singapore residents.

Singapore, Malaysia full resumption of travel to boost tourism, economy – MITI

25 Mar 2022

The full resumption of land travel between Malaysia and Singapore will catalyse business activities not only for the severely impacted tourism industry, but also provide a strong impetus for the post COVID-19 economic recovery.

It could boost external trade and employment, which in turn, will contribute to the 2022 gross domestic product (GDP) growth projections of between 5.5 per cent and 6.5 per cent, Senior Minister of International Trade and Industry (MITI) Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali said.

“MITI plays a pivotal role in facilitating the movement of the workforce and citizens between Malaysia and Singapore which was disrupted by the global pandemic,” he said in a statement today.

Realising the need to accelerate the reopening of the borders, a Joint Steering Committee co-chaired by MITI with the Singaporean counterpart was established to work towards resuming land border travel in a gradual, safe, systematic and sustainable manner.

The Vaccinated Travel Lane-Land (VTL-Land) between Malaysia and Singapore, launched on Nov 29, 2021, has facilitated quarantine-free, seamless cross-border movement of nearly 125,000 travellers by integrating health protocol, security and immigration clearance which resulted in the gradual resumption of bilateral and economic relations between Malaysia and Singapore so vital in advancing the economic recovery efforts.

Yesterday, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri, along with Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, announced effective April 1, fully vaccinated travellers, and non-fully vaccinated children aged 12 and below are permitted to travel to both countries without having to undergo testing protocols and quarantine.

Travellers may travel between both countries via land transport without border health measures and are no longer restricted to a limited quota.

VTL-Land is the foundation of future efforts to facilitate trade and investment, as well as economic recovery.

It has also enabled social recovery by continuing or reestablishing livelihoods, as well as reconnecting those separated from their loved ones due to the pandemic to travel home and reunite with their families.

The full travel resumption will further enhance bilateral trade and investment with Singapore towards further vibrant growth and sustainable economic recovery of both countries.
