SINGAPORE — Motorists planning to cross into Malaysia for the Hari Raya Haji holiday are advised to factor in additional waiting time for immigration clearance, as heavy traffic is expected at both Woodlands and Tuas checkpoints from Wednesday (June 28) to next Monday.
“Travellers departing by car should expect waiting times of close to three hours for peak periods over long weekends, similar to pre-Covid days,” the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority said in an advisory issued on Tuesday.
“During that weekend, ICA noted that there were long queues of cars waiting to clear departure coupled with continuous tailbacks from Malaysia,” it added. “Despite the start of school on June 26, more than 1.1 million travellers cleared through immigration at the land checkpoints in the last weekend .”
This includes an initiative to allow Singapore residents, Malaysians and eligible first-time foreign visitors to clear immigration via automated lanes without prior enrolment, as well as more automated lanes at the bus halls.
