The Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) by air between Malaysia and Singapore is a framework to facilitate two-way travel by individuals who have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

Under the VTL, fully vaccinated travellers from one country may enter the other country without quarantine, subject to COVID-19 testing and further requirements determined by the receiving country. This will allow both parties to achieve the objective of resuming air connectivity in a safe and cautious manner.

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

travel to singapore from malaysia by air requirements

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.

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.

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.

Complete Guide: Singapore – Malaysia land travel from 1 April

Aaron Wong

Planning to cross the causeway? Here's all you need to know about the Singapore-Malaysia land border reopening, from 1 April 2022.

Singapore and Malaysia will reopen their land border from 1 April 2022, allowing fully vaccinated travellers to cross with no testing, quarantine or travel insurance requirement. This covers all modes of travel , including private cars, motorcycles and walking. 

travel to singapore from malaysia by air requirements

Prior to the pandemic, more than 415,000 people crossed the Woodlands Causeway and Tuas Second Link daily, with short trips making up the bulk of movements. 

If you’re planning to join that number, here’s all you need to know about crossing the land border. For those planning to travel by air , refer to the article below instead. 

Complete Guide: Singapore – Malaysia quarantine-free air travel from 1 April

Land travel to Malaysia

Fully vaccinated.

All travellers to Malaysia must be fully vaccinated , as defined by the following table:

For example, someone with 2 doses of Pfizer would be considered fully vaccinated if he/she is aged 18-59 years old, but partially vaccinated if he/she is 60 years or older.

Children aged 17 and below are considered to meet the vaccination requirement, regardless of actual vaccination status. 

MySejahtera app

travel to singapore from malaysia by air requirements

Travellers to Malaysia must:

  • download the MySejahtera app ( Android | iOS )
  • create an account (when registering, enter the Malaysia  address you’ll be staying at)
  • complete the digital pre-departure form via the “Traveller” icon on MySejahtera
  • verify their COVID-19 vaccination certificate.  

Most of the steps are pretty self-explanatory, except perhaps the last one. Anyone who was vaccinated outside of Malaysia needs to upload and verify their digital vaccination certificate before departure.

travel to singapore from malaysia by air requirements

This can be done via the MySafeTravel portal , and involves uploading the QR code of your vaccination certificate.

Singapore travellers are only required to upload a single QR code; the instructions say to choose the last EUDCC one on your cert (i.e. Dose 2 for double dosed travellers, Dose 3 for triple dosed travellers). In my case, my “offline QR verification (EU DCC-compatible)” code wasn’t accepted, so in the end I used the one labelled “online QR verification” and it went through just fine.

travel to singapore from malaysia by air requirements

Take note that every comma, every hyphen must be included! If the name on your vaccination certificate is:

Tan Ah-Kow, John

be sure to enter it exactly that way on MySafeTravel, or verification will fail. 

Once approved, it takes about two days for your MySejahtera app to be updated. 

travel to singapore from malaysia by air requirements

Those who were vaccinated in other countries can refer to this guide for the steps required. 

Road Charge

Singapore-registered cars must pay a Road Charge of RM20 (~S$6.45) on entry, but this will be waived until 7 April 2022. From 8 April 2022 onwards, the Road Charge is payable.

This concession is meant to give Singaporeans the opportunity to top up their Touch ‘n Go cards, which may have become inactive during the two years the land border was closed. 

Vehicle Entry Permit

The much-discussed Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) is theoretically required for all non-Malaysian registered vehicles entering Malaysia, but enforcement has been delayed until further notice. The Malaysian government is urging motorists with Singapore-registered vehicles to register ASAP via this portal.

Registered vehicles will receive an RFID tag (cost: RM10 , excluding delivery and service charges), tied to an Touch ‘n Go e-wallet. This allows them to pay Road Charges seamlessly.

VEP registration is valid for five years starting from the day the VEP RFID tag is activated. 

How is this different from VTL travel?

If you’ve travelled to Malaysia under the VTL-Land previously, here’s the key differences of the new arrangement.

It’s a much simpler process, now that all modes of transport are valid, the travel insurance requirement has been scrapped, and there’s no more pre-departure or on-arrival testing.

Land travel to Singapore

Travellers are considered fully vaccinated if they meet the following conditions at least 2 weeks before arrival in Singapore:

  • Received the full regimen of WHO EUL Vaccines (see below) and met the minimum dose interval period; or
  • Travellers who contracted COVID-19 before being vaccinated must have received at least one dose of any WHO EUL Vaccines (below) at least 28 days from their first diagnosis  of a COVID-19 infection. Travellers must produce acceptable proof of their first positive COVID-19 diagnosis.

Children aged 12 and under in the current calendar year (i.e. those born in 2010 and later, for arrivals in 2022) are treated as fully vaccinated regardless of their actual status. 

A booster dose is currently not required to be considered fully vaccinated.

Travellers vaccinated in Malaysia may upload their digital certificate for COVID-19 vaccination on the MySejahtera app during the SG Arrival Card submission (see below). 

TraceTogether

travel to singapore from malaysia by air requirements

All travellers to Singapore must download and register for TraceTogether ( Android | iOS ). This is required for checking into venues and displaying your vaccination status, which is necessary to access shopping malls, restaurants and other vaccinated-only venues. 

Travellers who were vaccinated outside Singapore will be granted  temporary vaccinated status lasting about 30 days if they successfully uploaded their digital vaccination certificates as part of their SG Arrival Card (see below) or manually presented their vaccination certificates and the manual immigration counters.

Do note that if you’ve taken 2x Sinovac/Sinopharm doses outside of Singapore, you will still be granted temporary vaccinated status for 30 days, notwithstanding the domestic requirement for vaccination recognition is 3x doses. 

SG Arrival Card

All travellers to Singapore (regardless of nationality) must complete an SG Arrival Card within three days before arrival in Singapore. 

The SG Arrival Card has been simplified, and now features only three sections: 

  • Personal particulars
  • Submission of vaccination proof (not required for those vaccinated in Singapore)
  • Health declaration

Completing the SG Arrival Card is free of charge , if you do it via the official website. Beware of lookalikes out there which charge a fee! 

travel to singapore from malaysia by air requirements

Drivers of foreign-registered vehicles require a valid Autopass card and LTA’s approval email to enter into Singapore, as well as valid road tax and a certificate of insurance for the vehicle. 

Applications can be made via the OneMotoring website. 

Autopass cards can be collected at LTA’s Johor Bahru Service Centre before entering Singapore, and serve as an electronic VEP to record entry, and pay all tolls. Each Autopass card  is tied to a single vehicle , and costs S$10 (with a pre-loaded value of S$4 and a non-refundable cost of S$6). 

VEPs have a validity period of 14 days , starting from the date of entry into Singapore. To extend the stay of the vehicle in Singapore, renewal is required. 

Entry Tolls

The following toll fees are charged for entering and exiting Singapore, and apply to both Singapore and overseas registered vehicles. 

If you’ve travelled to Singapore under the VTL-Land previously, here’s the key differences of the new arrangement.

Singapore and Malaysia will be reopening their land border from 1 April 2022, with no testing, quarantine or travel insurance required. Travellers may cross the causeway whichever way they wish- even walking!

This should make mattress runs much easier, if nothing else.

Now that borders are starting to reopen, travelling overseas for work or leisure or family is once again a possibility.

In fact, I just returned from travelling to Singapore on a whim to stretch my tourist legs and catch up with old friends!

However, even with the VTL, new restrictions and SOPs have been put into place. There’s a bunch of new rules to follow, and let’s face it – it can be a little overwhelming.

But don’t worry, this is the most comprehensive step-by-step guide you will need to travel between Malaysia and Singapore by VTL (Air) .

Do note that the Vaccinated Travel Lane requirements is different for travellers arriving by Air and by Land!

travel to singapore from malaysia by air requirements

Here’s what you need to do:

Flying From Malaysia to Singapore

T-3+ days: usual pre-travel preparations and apply for VTL

  • Check passport validity.
  • Ensure you are fully vaccinated with a minimum of two doses.
  • Ensure you have Covid-19 Vaccination Digital Certificate (in MySejahtera app).
  • Book flight tickets and hotel in advance. You will require a destination address to apply for the VTL.
  • Note: not all flights are VTL-approved . Some are regular or transit flights that still require quarantine. For quarantine-free travel, make sure your flight is VTL-approved.
  • Apply for the Singaporean VTL (Air) pass here . This pass is valid for travellers 3 to 60 days after the date of application. It will be valid for 13 days after date of entry. (This means you must apply for the pass at least 3 days before your flight date!)
  • Buy Covid-19 insurance (up to S$30,000) as it is required. (TuneProtect Travel Easy coverage costs upwards of RM50 for a 3-day trip.)
  • Take your pre-departure Covid-19 tests. Singapore accepts both the PCR test or the professionally-administered ART test (also known in Malaysia as the RTK or swab test).
  • PCR tests can cost anywhere from RM100-RM200. It is best to notify the health facility that you are taking the test for travelling purposes.
  • ART tests are a much cheaper and faster option, with results usually available within the hour.

travel to singapore from malaysia by air requirements

  • Obtain your PCR test results (must be negative, obviously).
  • Download VisitSingapore app, which will have your VTL Pass QR Code. (You will need this to check in on the flight.)
  • Download TraceTogether app, which is Singapore’s equivalent of MySejahtera. You would want to download and sign up beforehand as it requires a TAC code sent to your Malaysian phone number. Sign up until the last step, which will require you to wait until you arrive in Singapore before you actually activate it. Do not close this app if you can help it.

Document Checklist:

It’s best to have a folder to keep all the documents you need, with physical copies printed out if you can. Make sure you have these before heading to the airport:

  • PCR test results (Must be negative)
  • VTL pass (Print out copy from email and have QR code on VisitSingapore app ready)
  • Covid-19 Vaccination Certificate (QR code on MySejahtera)
  • Travel insurance
  • Flight tickets
  • Hotel booking

Now you’re ready to depart from Malaysia and head into Singapore!

travel to singapore from malaysia by air requirements

Arriving In Singapore

Congratulations, you’ve reached Singapore! At this point, while Changi Airport has really good free wifi, it’s best to have your roaming ready to go as TraceTogether requires internet connection (unlike MySejahtera), and you would likely need to use a Grab.

  • Follow the signs and head over to arrivals. Along the way, you will see signboards with a big QR code to submit your electronic Health Declaration Card (eHDC). Fill it in before you reach immigration.
  • Pass through immigration with your passport as usual.
  • Activate the TraceTogether app. If your app is still on the last step, it’s just a simple matter of activating it immediately. However, if you have accidentally closed your app, you will need to redo the sign-in process and have your roaming on so you can receive the OTP code with your Malaysian number, unless you plan on using a Singaporean number while there.

But wait, there’s more! VTL travellers will need to take an on-arrival supervised Antigen Rapid Test (ART) within 24 hours. Luckily, the process is quite easy!

travel to singapore from malaysia by air requirements

  • Follow the signs or go to this website to find a drop-down list of Quick Test Centres. You might need to do a bit of Googling to figure out which ones are on the way or convenient for your travel itenerary, otherwise just take a Grab to whichever is on the way to your hotel.
  • Book your supervised ART appointment. You should be able to get the earliest available appointment without much problem.
  • Head over to the Quick Test Centre of your choice. This is when you should already have internet roaming as you will need it for TraceTogether.

travel to singapore from malaysia by air requirements

  • The supervised ART test costs $15 (approx. RM45). This must be made in cashless payment , which means you must have a credit card or international ewallet to make the payment.
  • The ART test is quite fast and you should receive your test result within half an hour (ours cleared within 5 minutes).
  • However, expect the whole process to take about an hour including travel time.

If your result is negative, congratulations! Go explore Singapore to your heart’s content now!

Ready to return to Malaysia yet? There are a couple of things you should do beforehand as well.

The process to return is similar to entering Singapore, though there are some extra steps.

Flying To Malaysia From Singapore

You should already have all the appropriate documents such as travel insurance, but all travellers including Malaysian citizens must do a couple of extra things.

  • Take a PCR test 2 days before your return flight. This costs anywhere from S$100 – S$200 (approx. RM300-RM600). Just like Malaysia’s PCR tests, most have a 24-hour waiting period, though there are rapid tests which gives you results within 4-6 hours.
  • An ART test is not accepted for VTL (Air) unless you are a post-Covid traveller.

travel to singapore from malaysia by air requirements

  • Register for the MySafeTravel pass. You may register for the pass up to 7 days before you return to Malaysia. (This is basically the Malaysian equivalent to the Singaporean VTL Pass.)
  • Have Covid-19 travel insurance up to RM100,000. Your previously purchased travel insurance should cover the return trip as well.
  • Pre-purchase the on-site Covid-19 PCR test for all arrivals including Malaysian citizens. There are 2 options: the Regular PCR test which will set you back RM250 and 3 hours, or the Quick PCR test which will set you back RM370 and 1.5 hours.
  • Unlike Singapore, travellers must sit in a waiting lounge and receive their negative PCR test results before they are allowed to leave the airport. Hence, it is recommended to take the Quick PCR test if you are in a rush.

travel to singapore from malaysia by air requirements

If you are travelling for a short-term stay such as a 2-day trip, you cannot use the results of the post-arrival ART test in Singapore as the pre-departure PCR test to return to Malaysia.

This means that even if you have a short trip such as a 2-day or 3-day trip, you may need to take the 5-minute post-arrival ART test (for entry into Singapore) and the 24-hour pre-departure PCR test (for return to Malaysia) on the same day.

Only day-trip travellers do not require a PCR test for the time being.

Endemic Announcement

However, with the announcement of the endemic phase coming into effect on 1 April 2022, travellers can look forward to a slightly more relaxed travelling experience.

As announced by Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin, Malaysian borders will open once again for international tourists and departing Malaysians alike.

All fully vaccinated travellers will no longer require quarantine periods. However, a PCR test is still required before arrival into Malaysia, though only a RTK test is required after arrival.

However, travel insurance including Covid-19 coverage is still mandatory for travel in all countries.

Like previously mentioned, it’s not that expensive– we got Tune Protect travel insurance for the Singapore trip, but it also works with any airline heading into any country since it fulfills all international travel requirements.

That’s right– even if you’re travelling somewhere expensive like Europe or the US, Tune Protect is one of the most afforable travel insurances you can get to set your mind at ease and make the trip smoother.

Not only does Tune Protect cover medical expenses related to (touchwood!) Covid-19 hospitalization, there is added benefits such as quarantine allowance and hospital income.

travel to singapore from malaysia by air requirements

Even if your trip gets disrupted due to Covid-19 such as flight cancellations, you would be covered! Or if you’re travelling and something happens, Tune Protect can help get you home with their emergency overseas evacuation and repatriation coverage.

And if the worst happens, your family will also get money for compassionate visits and a bereavement allowance.

If you’re thinking of travelling, why not keep yourself, your family, or your whole travel group protected with Tune Protect? Just visit their website here and start travelling!

Travel Notice Situation in Eastern Sabah

26 June 2023

Singaporeans who intend to travel to the eastern coast of Sabah should exercise vigilance and caution. They should keep themselves updated on the latest developments through official websites such as that of the Eastern Sabah Security Command ( www.facebook.com/esscomsabah ) as well as through Malaysian news outlets. Singaporeans are also advised to take all necessary precautions to ensure their personal safety, including purchasing comprehensive travel insurance and be familiar with the terms and coverage of the insurance policies. Do eRegister with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at  https://eregister.mfa.gov.sg/  so that we could contact you should the need arise. Those in need of consular assistance may contact the Singapore High Commission in Kuala Lumpur or the 24-hour Ministry of Foreign Affairs Duty Office at:

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.

avatar-name

Qistina Bumidin  •  Mar 28, 2022

It's beginning to look a lot like our pre-Covid trips to Malaysia and Singapore, because both governments have loosen further restrictions for travel between both countries! ? Still, there are many things you should take note of before taking a much-needed vacay across the Causeway (both ways ?)

Note : Information is correct and updated at time of writing.

Singapore-Malaysia Border Reopening: Here's What You Should Know

What you need to do before you visit or return to malaysia.

From April 1, all international visitors who are fully vaccinated are allowed to enter Malaysia without quarantine, and we bet many of you are excited ?Prior your trip to Malaysia, be it if you're returning home or going for a vacation, here's a checklist of things you need to do!

1. Required documents

All fully vaccinated international visitors and Malaysian citizens returning home will need to download the MySejahtera tracking app here and fill up a pre-departure travel form located in the 'Traveller' icon on the MySejahtera app via this link to enter Malaysia. For travellers with vaccine certificates issued overseas, you will need to verify your digital Covid-19 vaccine certificate via this link . If you have previously done so on the MySejahtera application, you can skip this step.

2. Required tests

On Thursday (March 24), Singapore and Malaysia jointly said that pre-departure or on-arrival tests for travellers via land will no longer be needed ? Non-fully vaccinated children aged 12 and below will also no longer have to take pre-departure and on arrival tests or serve a stay-home notice. However, travellers entering Malaysia from Singapore by air will need to take a COVID-19 ART two days before departure instead of a PCR test. Do note that VTL bus tickets are still valid for usage.

However, partially vaccinated and unvaccinated travellers are required to serve a mandatory 5 days quarantine at their own accomodation. They should either take an RT-PCR test on Day-4 of quarantine OR a professional rapid antigen test (RTK-Ag) on Day-5 of quarantine. If they test negative, they can be released from quarantine on Day-5. If they test positive, they must continue to quarantine for another 5 days. Check out via this link to understand more on vaccine status .

3. Insurance is required for short-term foreign visitors coming to Malaysia (for non-Malaysians only)

All short-term foreign visitors are required to have COVID-19 travel insurance for their COVID-19-related medical treatment and hospitalisation costs in Malaysia, with a minimum coverage of US$20,000 . This applies to all short-term foreign visitors (excluding Malaysians) regardless of their COVID-19 vaccination or recovery status. The insurance should be purchased prior to travelling to Malaysia, either from Malaysia-based or overseas insurers. If you're looking for a good insurance plan , you have to check out MSIG's TravelEasy's extensive Covid-19 coverage of up to $500,000 medical cover via this link . Your pandemic worries are kept at bay while you enjoy a much-deserved break! ?

For more information you need when you arrive in Malaysia, check out this link .

What you need to do before you visit or return to Singapore

Singapore has scrapped the VTL and will transition to a new simplified travel framework - the vaccinated travel framework, from April 1st. Countries and regions will be classified into two categories - general travel or the restricted category. Malaysia falls under the general travel category. Here's everything you need to know before you enter Singapore! ?

travel to singapore from malaysia by air requirements

1. Required documents via air or land

All fully vaccinated international visitors and Singaporean citizens returning home must download the TraceTogether app via this link . Additionally, 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. You can find the link to the card right here . All travellers arriving in Singapore can use the Vaccination Check Portal on the SafeTravel website to submit their digital vaccination certificates in advance. This is only optional, and for added assurance. You can find out more information here .

While travelling to Singapore via land does not warrant the need for a Covid-19 test, you do need to take either the PCR test or a professionally administered ART test within 2 days before your departure to Singapore via air . This also applies to partially vaccinated and unvaccinated travellers. Partially vaccinated and unvaccinated travellers must also serve a 7-day Stay-Home Notice (SHN) at a declared SHN accommodation and take a PCR test after their SHN ends.

3. Insurance is also required for short-term visitors coming to Singapore (for non-Singaporeans only)

Travellers should also be insured for a minimum coverage of US$22,000  for any COVID-19 related medical charges. Insurance can be purchased with a Singapore or overseas-based insurer, and you can find examples of insurance companies via this link .

4. Two additional documents for those travelling by land (for foreign-registered vehicles only)

There's will no longer be any caps on the number of daily overland travellers from April 1, where only about 4,000 people were allowed to travel on designated vaccinated travel lane (VTL) buses daily. For the first time in two years, you can finally take your usual weekend trips with your own private transport, car or motorcycle across the Causeway and Second Link ? Do note though that you'll need these two important documents when you're entering Singapore via land: a valid Autopass card and the Land Transport Authority (LTA)'s approval email . This only applies to foreign-registered cars and motorcycles.

The Autopass card serves as an electronic Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) and is used to record the vehicle’s entry into Singapore and to pay all entry and exit fees when the vehicle is driven out of Singapore. You can only apply for the VEP online, from March 31st onwards , via VEP Digital Services on LTA's OneMotoring website . You can also update the road tax and insurance validity for your VEP via the same link. You also need to receive LTA's VEP approval email before entering Singapore.

Do note that if you're unable to provide both documents, you will be denied entry to Singapore . LTA expects more applications in the coming weeks, so do plan at least two weeks ahead of your intended travel dates to allow sufficient time for VEP application and approval. LTA also advises against leisure travel to Singapore for now to allow those with essential travel needs, such as for employment or to reunite with their families, to come to Singapore.

For more information on everything else you need to know when you arrive in Singapore, you can check out this link .

We would update more accordingly! Keep this guide handy for your next trip to Singapore or Malaysia ? If you're already excited, check out our itinerary guides, halal food guides and places you should visit by simply searching it up HHWT 's website bar! ?
