Singapore: Increased border security measures ongoing at all checkpoints nationwide through Jan. 22

Authorities are enhancing security checks for all arriving travelers and conveyances at land, air, and sea checkpoints across Singapore through Jan. 22. The Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) has advised travelers to allow additional time for immigration clearance due to possible delays. While ICA has not disclosed the specific reasons for these measures, they coincide with the canceled visit of US Vice President Kamala Harris to Singapore.

Travel delays, including congestion and longer customs clearance times, are likely for international arrivals at airports, maritime ports, and land border crossings due to heightened security screenings.
