THINGS TO TAKE NOTE
ICA reminded travellers to ensure that their passports have a remaining validity of at least six months. Singapore permanent residents who have renewed their passports should ensure that their re-entry permits have been transferred to their new passports.

Short-term visitors, including holders of in-principle approval for long-term passes, are required to submit their Singapore Arrival Card with health declaration via the MyICA mobile application within three days before they arrive in Singapore.
People travelling by car and motorcycle are encouraged to use QR codes instead of passports for more convenient immigration clearance.

Drivers of foreign vehicles should ensure their Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) is valid. Those without a valid Autopass card, the VEP approval email from LTA or valid insurance will be turned back.
