Enhanced SG Arrival Card to be available on MyICA app from Sept 30

The enhanced arrival card was earlier made available on ICA's website on Aug 26.

Singapore's Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) announced on September 16 that travellers arriving in the country from September 30 will be able to complete the enhanced Singapore Arrival Card through the MyICA mobile app. The updated card, available in seven additional languages including Bahasa Indonesia, Dutch, Arabic, Spanish, Russian, Filipino, and Italian, now totals nineteen languages.

The enhanced arrival card offers improvements over the current version, such as the ability to scan passports for necessary details and autofill information using passport data. These updates are exclusively accessible to Singapore citizens, permanent residents, and long-term pass holders via the MyICA app. Land checkpoint travellers at Woodlands and Tuas, as well as those transiting without clearance, are excluded from these changes.

ICA advised passengers to update their MyICA app prior to submitting the arrival card from September 30 onwards. The mandatory health declaration must be submitted by all travellers, including Singapore citizens, permanent residents, and long-term pass holders, prior to their arrival in Singapore.
