Starting next year, the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) will activate automated channels at air, sea and land checkpoints, which will eliminate the need for nationals and foreign tourists to show their passports when leaving the country. In addition, from next year, motorists using the land border will not be required to scan their passports. The Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) held an annual work plan seminar this morning (5th) to summarize the progress of work in the past year and announce the plans to be carried out next. Among them, starting from the first quarter of next year, about 800 Automated Passenger Clearance System (APCS) lanes will be progressively activated in the passenger halls of all border control points to replace the existing manual counters. This means that local residents and outbound travelers will not be required to present their passports in the future, and will only need to complete a biometric authentication scan in order to clear customs quickly. In addition, starting from next year, passports will be replaced by scanning QR codes at the manual automated vehicle clearance counters at land crossings. Car passers will be required to enter their personal details and obtain the QR code through the MyICA app before departure. Instead of presenting their passports, they will scan the QR code on their own while passing through, and clearance officers will verify the information and appearance. ,Singapore will not need to show passports when nationals and foreign tourists leave the country from next year,Singapore will not need to show passports when nationals and foreign tourists leave the country from next year - Overseas Cloud Resident In addition, motorists using the land border will not be required to scan their passports from next year.

此外，使用陆路关卡的驾车人士明年起也无需扫描护照。
移民与关卡局今早（5日）举行年度工作计划研讨会，总结过去一年的工作进展，并公布接下来将开展的计划。
其中，从明年第一季起，在所有关卡的旅客大厅逐步启用大约800个自动通关系统通道，取代现有的人工柜台。这意味着本地居民和出境旅客日后将无需出示护照，只须完成生物认证扫描，就可快速通关。
另外，明年起，陆路关卡的人工汽车通关柜台将以扫描二维码取代护照。乘车通关者须在出发前，通过MyICA应用程序输入个人资料和获取二维码。他们在通过时无需出示护照，而是自行扫描二维码，关卡人员核实资料和样貌后，就可以通关。
