Travellers arriving and departing Singapore by car via Woodlands and Tuas checkpoints can use QR codes in lieu of passports &#8211; provided that they have entered the country with a passport before.<\/p>\n<p>This new method of immigration appears to be much faster and convenient, as instead of handing over passports to the Immigration &amp; Checkpoints Authority (ICA) officer at the car counter, you will only need to have scanned a single QR code which is generated on a mobile app prior to arriving at the checkpoint, for all the travellers in the car.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get-through-SG-checkpoints-in-1-minute\"><\/span>Get through SG checkpoints in 1 minute<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.channelnewsasia.com\/singapore\/qr-code-woodlands-tuas-checkpoints-immigration-causeway-singapore-johor-4206381\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer dofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Channel News Asia<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, getting through the Singapore immigration checkpoint by car now takes under one minute.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In order to make use of this QR code immigration clearance, travellers will need to download the MyICA mobile app onto one of their mobile devices and key in their passport details to generate a unique QR code.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who is able to use the MyICA QR code depends on their residential status, as set out in a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ica.gov.sg\/news-and-publications\/newsroom\/media-release\/car-travellers-can-use-qr-code-for-faster-and-more-convenient-immigration-clearance-at-singapore-s-land-checkpoints-from-19-march-2024#:~:text=To%20use%20the%20QR%20code,generate%20a%20unique%20QR%20code\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer dofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">statement by the ICA<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Singapore residents<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can either auto-populate their passport details via SingPass when they access the MyICA mobile application, or use the built-in camera function in the mobile application to scan the Machine-Readable Zone (MRZ) of their passport biodata page.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Foreign visitors <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">who have visited Singapore before can use the built-in camera function within the MyICA mobile application to scan the MRZ of their passport biodata page to auto-populate their passport information.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>First-time visitors and those re-entering Singapore<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> using a different passport from their last visit to Singapore will need to present their physical passport for immigration clearance.

Up to 10 travellers\u2019 passport details can be included in one group QR code and each group QR code can be stored and named in the application. For those with security concerns, the ICA ensures that the QR codes generated are encrypted, and can only be retrieved and decrypted by ICA.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do note that this works on a \u201cper vehicle basis\u201d.
