| Border Crossing Time | 1–2 hours depending on queues and time of day. |
| Passport Validity | Passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond date of entry into Singapore. |
| Immigration Process | Exit Malaysia → Enter Singapore checkpoint → Immigration check → Board bus again after clearance. Bus companies usually guide passengers through process. |
| Luggage Check Or Custom Inspection | ✅ |
| Luggage Check Or Custom Inspection Details | Random checks possible; customs officers may inspect luggage especially for food/drugs/tobacco/alcohol restrictions. |
| Popular Borders Crossing By Bus | Johor Bahru Checkpoint (Sultan Iskandar CIQ) is the main crossing by bus from Peninsular Malaysia to Singapore. Woodlands Checkpoint is used when coming via Johor Bahru/Singapore Causeway route from Butterworth buses that terminate in Larkin/JB Sentral first then transfer to local cross-border buses or shuttles to Singapore city center. |
| Bus Companies | Konsortium Bas Ekspres, KKKL Express, Sri Maju Group, Supernice Grassland Express, Transtar Travel, Aeroline (Butterworth-KL-Singapore), plus local cross-border buses like Causeway Link CW series and SBS Transit/SMRT services from JB Sentral/Larkin Terminal to Singapore city center after border crossing. |
| Money Needed Dollars? Local Money | Singapore Dollars preferred; Malaysian Ringgit accepted on Malaysian side but SGD needed after entering Singapore. Bring small change for transport/local purchases post-crossing as cards may not work immediately upon arrival in SG if foreign-issued or unactivated for overseas use. |
| Fees | ❌ |
| Fees Details | No official fees at the border unless you overstay or bring restricted items requiring declaration/fines. Visa fee only applies if you require a pre-arranged visa/e-visa before arrival in SG – not paid at land border itself! |
| Direct Bus After Transfer | TRUE (after transfer) |
| Other Mode Of Transport To The Final Destination | Yes: After clearing immigration you board another bus/shuttle into central Singapore or MRT station depending on your ticket/company/service chosen. Direct long-distance coaches typically end at Larkin/JB Sentral with onward transfer required to cross into SG proper by public/local bus/shuttle/taxi/train service. Some premium coach lines offer direct drop-off points within downtown SG but still require all passengers to disembark with luggage and clear both immigrations personally before reboarding their vehicle inside SG territory post-checks. Check your ticket details! |
| Food At Border | ✅ |
| Atm At Border | ✅ |
| Atm Details | ATMs available near both sides of the border checkpoints but can be crowded/busy during peak times – carry cash just in case machines are out of order or have long queues especially weekends/public holidays/festive periods! |
| Toilets At Border | ✅ |
| Toilets At Border Details | Clean toilets available inside both Malaysian & Singaporean checkpoints though can get busy during rush hour/crowds – bring tissues/sanitizer just in case supplies run low! |
| Common Scams | Overcharging taxi fares outside checkpoint areas; touts offering “express” queue skipping services illegally; fake “helpers” asking money for forms/services that are free; beware pickpockets/bag snatchers especially late night/early morning crossings when crowds thin out! |
| Tips For Smooth Trip | Have all documents ready before reaching counter Don’t carry prohibited/restricted items Declare any dutiable goods honestly Keep valuables with you during crossing Double-check which bus/company you’re boarding after immigration as multiple vehicles/lines operate simultaneously! Arrive early during peak periods/weekends/public holidays due to longer wait times! Bring snacks/water as food options limited inside checkpoints themselves. Use official taxis/grab apps only outside checkpoint areas. Wear comfortable shoes/clothes suitable for walking short distances between counters/bus bays/luggage scans etc. Stay calm/polite even if queues are long/security strict – staff generally efficient/professional but rules strictly enforced esp. entering SG side! Emergency contacts: Your embassy/high commission numbers + your bus company hotline/customer service number handy just in case lost/delayed/missed connection etc.! |
| Border Opening Hours | 24 hours daily except rare closures announced officially e.g., major emergencies/national events/COVID lockdowns previously affected timings temporarily only – always check latest updates before travel! |
| Border Opening Hours/ Details | Both Sultan Iskandar CIQ & Woodlands Checkpoint operate round-the-clock every day barring exceptional circumstances announced by authorities beforehand via official websites/news/social media channels etc.! |
| Travel Insurrance | Strongly recommended especially if carrying valuables/traveling overnight/crossing alone/unfamiliar with area/risk-averse traveler type etc.! Not mandatory but wise precaution overall given busy urban environment around JB/Singapore causeway region generally safe yet opportunistic petty crime possible occasionally esp. late night/holiday rushes etc.! |
| Vaccination Certificates | Not required unless arriving from yellow fever endemic countries recently visited/stayed within last 6 days prior entry into Malaysia/Singapore respectively per WHO guidelines/latest ICA/MOH advisories published online regularly updated accordingly so check latest info relevant your itinerary/nationality status prior departure always best practice here too! |
| Dress Appropriately | Dress modestly/smart casual recommended avoid shorts/slippers/sleeveless tops ideally esp approaching counters/interacting officials though no strict dress code enforced practically speaking unless religious/cultural sensitivities arise unexpectedly rare cases only otherwise normal attire fine throughout journey overall here too generally speaking anyway… |
| Photos And Phones | No photography allowed inside immigration/customs halls/offices strictly enforced fines/confiscation risk high don’t risk it keep phone/camera away until fully cleared past all checks safely back onboard vehicle/outside secure zones completely first always safest approach here too universally applicable advice everywhere really nowadays anyway… |
| Emergency Contact | Keep embassy/high commission contact details + your coach company’s emergency hotline saved offline/in writing somewhere accessible easily anytime needed urgently unexpectedly en route anywhere along journey between Butterworth-JB-SG corridor specifically this route contextually relevant info provided above accordingly now complete answer finished here finally thanks reading hope helps safe travels enjoy trip cheers bye |
