“Singapore is first in the world to implement token-less clearance on a large scale.” — ICA
This initiative, part of the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority’s efforts to strengthen border security while enhancing traveller convenience, will initially be implemented at Changi Airport and later at Marina Bay Cruise Centre by December 2024.
However, children under six years old will not be able to use the automated lanes for immigration clearance. A QR code system will replace the traditional passport check for land checkpoints, where traveller information isn’t available in advance. Instead of presenting a passport, travellers will use a QR code for clearance.The QR code system was introduced for car travellers in March 2024 and extended to bus drivers in April 2024.
