reader Posted August 19, 2019 Posted August 19, 2019 From Bangkok Post SINGAPORE: Foreign visitors travelling to Singapore using selected transport services can now submit electronic arrival cards up to 14 days before they reach the country. This means that these visitors will need to produce only their passports for immigration clearance upon arrival — instead of filling out paper arrival cards — as their details will already be in the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority’s (ICA’s) system, TODAY reported The move, announced by the ICA on Wednesday, is part of the authority’s new “SG Arrival Card” e-service, which went on trial last October, and has now been extended to visitors travelling via certain airlines, coaches and ferries. Previously, only visitors approached by ICA officers in person upon arrival were given the option to fill in the e-arrival card, TODAY understands. Visitors travelling with these transport companies are eligible for e-arrival cards, said ICA: Airlines: AirAsia, Jetstar Asia, Cathay Pacific and Singapore Airlines Coach: Transtar Travel Ferries: BatamFast Ferries, Bintan Resort Ferries, Horizon Fast Ferry and Majestic Fast Ferry All other visitors will still have to complete paper disembarkation or embarkation cards upon arrival. https://www.bangkokpost.com/travel/1730815/singapore-launches-e-arrival-cards-for-foreign-visitors splinter1949 1 Quote
