Ever since the reopening of Singapore-Malaysia land borders on 1 April 2022, the causeways have been buzzing with travellers, reminding all of us about how busy these land checkpoints between Singapore and Malaysia used to be pre-COVID.
Being one of the busiest land borders in the world, the Singapore-Malaysia land borders used to see some 300,000 people crossing the border daily pre-COVID.
During the first weekend of June, the Singapore-Malaysia checkpoints saw 262,000 travellers per day between 3 June 2022 to 5 June 2022. These numbers have been steadily increasing since 1 April 2022, when the Singapore-Malaysia land borders reopened. These are figures that have been steadily increasing beginning 1 April 2022, with the Good Friday weekend witnessing a daily average of 149,000 travellers. Traveller figures increase almost twofold to about 224,000 travellers crossed the borders per day during the Vesak Day weekend.
With the news of increasing traveller numbers at the Singapore-Malaysia land borders, longer waiting time and delays would have to be expected, especially during this June school holidays. In fact, based on records from 2019, at the peak of the June school holidays, travellers had to wait nearly two-and-a-half hours before they were cleared through the immigration. The Singapore Immigration and Checkpoint Authority has also issued advice to travellers to make possible adjustments to travel plans and avoid peak hours to prevent being unbearably stuck in immigration for crazy periods of time.
We have provided a cheat sheet with some of the information captured, this can help you in avoiding some of the peak hours to minimize your waiting time during your travel between Singapore and Malaysia using either of the two land borders at Woodlands or Tuas. Alternatively, read on to find out how you can travel hassle-free with comfort, and most importantly with the least time-consuming mode of transport when you travel to Johor Bahru from Singapore.
