The Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) anticipates heavy traffic at Singapore-Malaysia land checkpoints during the September school holidays. The warning follows a busy travel period during the recent National Day weekend, when over 2.1 million travellers crossed the checkpoints. Crowds peaked at more than 593,000 travellers on August 7, with some motorists waiting as long as three hours for immigration clearance.
The ICA has increased security checks since February 28, 2026, due to a heightened global security environment. Travellers are advised to use QR codes through the MyICA mobile app to speed up the immigration process. Motorists must follow lane rules and officer instructions to avoid disrupting traffic and delays.
