Singapore rolls out passport-scanning arrival card on mobile app from Sept 30

Singapore is set to launch a new mobile app feature on September 30 that will allow travelers to complete the enhanced Singapore Arrival Card directly through their devices. The enhanced digital declaration, currently only available via the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) website, will now offer auto-fill capabilities by scanning passport biometrics and expanded language options, including Bahasa Indonesia, Dutch, Arabic, Spanish, Russian, Filipino, and Italian.

The move aims to streamline the immigration process for Singapore citizens, permanent residents, and long-term pass holders, while excluding transit passengers and those traveling overland. Travelers are advised to update their MyICA mobile app to the latest version before submitting arrival cards from September 30 onwards.
