at land border checkpoints, as Singapore has announced that travellers arriving and departing Singapore by car via Woodlands and Tuas checkpoints can use QR codes instead of passports for faster and more convenient immigration clearance, starting from March 19.
Travellers will simply need to download the MyICA mobile application on their mobile device and populate their passport details in the application to generate a unique QR code. Foreign visitors who have visited Singapore before can use the built-in camera function within the MyICA mobile application to scan the Machine-Readable Zone of their passport biodata page to auto-populate their passport information, the ICA said.
The ICA said that the QR code initiative would offer a faster and more convenient immigration clearance experience, with estimated time savings of around 20 seconds for cars with four travellers to approximately one minute for cars with 10 travellers. It added that travellers can still opt to present their physical passport to an ICA officer at the counter.
