Over 50.3m Travellers Have Used QR Codes at Land Checkpoints Since 2024

More than 50.3 million travellers have used QR codes to clear immigration without passports at Singapore's land checkpoints since the system was rolled out in 2024.

This figure was for the period between March 19, 2024, when the system was launched, and March 19, 2025, at Woodlands and Tuas checkpoints.

During this time, more than 30 million travellers used QR code clearance at the car zones, representing about 70 per cent of all car travellers.

The Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) gave this update on March 27 when it announced that since January 2025, QR code clearance has been fully implemented at both checkpoints.

ICA said it was able to clear 2,000 more travellers per hour during the March holidays in 2025 compared with the same period in 2024.

This was about 10 per cent more, as more people used QR code clearance.

To use it, travellers must download the MyICA mobile application and fill in their passport details.
