Open up your passport to tap it on the machine, and off you go to enjoy a serious makan session!

SINGAPORE: If you find time for a quick getaway to Johor Bahru, you won’t want to wait hours at the immigration counters when crossing the border. So, using the e-gate can get you in within minutes to get to the food trip and retail therapy you badly need.

However, not everyone is allowed to use the e-gate, sorry to say. But you can if you are a Singaporean citizen, a Malaysian Permanent Resident, or a Malaysia Automated Clearance System pass holder with a valid biometric passport for at least three months. The only caveat is that people allowed to use the e-gate must be at least 120 cm and above. Parents need to take note of this if they’re bringing their young children to JB. And if you qualify, here’s your guide for going about it.

Get your Malaysia Digital Arrival Card and submit it within 3 days before you’re scheduled to arrive at JB. For example, if you’re planning to arrive in JB on Oct 18, you can get your MDAC on Oct 16, 17 or even on the day of your arrival itself (though it’s always better to do things early.
