Navigating Singapore’s Digital Arrival Card (SGAC): A Step-by-Step Guide

In a move to streamline the immigration process and enhance traveler experience, Singapore has introduced the Digital Arrival Card, replacing the traditional paper-based disembarkation/embarkation card. This digital initiative aims to expedite the immigration clearance process for visitors entering Singapore while reducing paper usage. If you’re planning a trip to Singapore, here’s a comprehensive guide on how to fill in the Singapore Digital Arrival Card seamlessly.

Understanding the Digital Arrival Card:

The Digital Arrival Card serves the same purpose as its paper predecessor: to provide essential information to immigration authorities upon entry into Singapore. It collects details such as personal information, travel itinerary, and accommodation details. This digital format is accessible via the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) website or the SG Arrival Card mobile application.

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Access the Digital Arrival Card:

  • Visit the ICA website or download the SG Arrival Card mobile app from the App Store (for iOS) or Google Play Store (for Android).
  • Ensure you have a stable internet connection before proceeding.

  • Declare the amount of currency you are carrying if it exceeds the prescribed limit.

5. Provide Accommodation Details:

  • Enter the address of your accommodation in Singapore, including the hotel name, address, and contact information.
  • Ensure the information provided is accurate to facilitate your stay in Singapore.

6. Review and Submit:

Benefits of the Digital Arrival Card:

Navigating the Causeway: Real-Time Traffic Insights from Singapore-Malaysia Live Traffic Cameras

Date: July 31, 2022 By Categories: Road trips Tips No comments

In the heart of Southeast Asia, the Causeway bridge connecting Singapore and Malaysia serves as a vital transportation link between two countries bustling with economic activity. Thousands of commuters and travelers traverse this iconic causeway daily, making it essential to have access to real-time traffic information to plan journeys efficiently. Fortunately, live traffic cameras positioned along the Causeway provide valuable insights to help commuters make informed decisions.

The Causeway: A Lifeline Between Nations

The Singapore-Malaysia Causeway is a historic landmark, spanning over 1 kilometer and connecting the city-state of Singapore to the southernmost part of Peninsular Malaysia. This bridge serves as a primary gateway for commuters, tourists, and cargo transport, making it one of the busiest border crossings in the world. The strategic location of the Causeway plays a pivotal role in trade, tourism, and cultural exchange between the two nations.

Real-Time Traffic Camera Network

To ensure the smooth flow of traffic on the Causeway, both Singapore and Malaysia have invested in a comprehensive network of live traffic cameras positioned strategically along the bridge and its approaches. These cameras provide invaluable real-time traffic updates to both authorities and commuters, helping to manage congestion and improve road safety.

Accessing Live Traffic Camera Feeds

Accessing live traffic camera feeds along the Causeway is easier than ever, and you can access our website to bring to you live traffic conditions at both Woodlands and Tuas immigration checkpoint.

Plan your journey to avoid getting stuck for hours in the traffic jam.

2022 KTM Shuttle Tebrau Online Booking Guide

Date: June 14, 2022 By Categories: Road trips Tips Transport Service 2 Comments

From 19th June 2022, the highly anticipated Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB) train service – Tebrau Shuttle between Johor Bahru and Singapore, Woodlands will resume since it was suspended temporarily on 24th March 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Ticket sales are expected to start from 13th June for its maiden trip on 19th June 2022, after a 2 years hiatus, with a total of 31 trips daily to bring the crowds between Woodlands, Singapore and Johor Bahru, Malaysia. Each trip can carry up to a maximum of 320 passengers with an average frequency of 30 minutes. The ride itself will only take up to 5 minutes to traverse between the causeway.

Ticket prices start from as low as RM5.00 for a trip from Johor Bahru to Singapore, and RM10.00 for a 2-way return ticket. For commuting in the opposite direction (i.e Singapore to Johor Bahru), the ticket will set you back SGD5.00 for a one way trip and SGD10.00 for a 2-way return ticket.

For those who are not aware, you can also book the KTMB ticket online one month in advance so it saves you the hassle of having to go and queue at the counter to purchase the tickets. I’ve compiled a step-by-step guide on the online ticketing process, and its a very easy and straightforward process.

We have also created an online video guide for KTM Tebrau Shuttle tickets reservation via mobile application. Visit my YouTube video description for the download link to KTMB mobile app.

We have also created another video of the online ticket reservation with KTMB website.
