Expect long queues at checkpoints this weekend
The Straits Times
|October 15, 2025
Those who plan to travel to Malaysia via the land checkpoints from Oct 17 to Oct 20 should expect long queues for immigration clearance, in the light of the Deepavali long weekend.
The Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) said in an advisory on Oct 13 that the longer waiting times at Woodlands and Tuas checkpoints can also be due to its "intensified checks against" e-vaporisers.
During the school holidays from Sept 5 to Sept 15, over 5.8 million travellers crossed both land checkpoints.
