点评:Firstly please be aware tourists need to complete the SG Arrival card, no earlier than three days prior (including the day of arrival) to the day of entering Singapore.
Apart from the delays which have been mentioned by other contributors, I wanted to highlight how the Express bus operates, atleast when crossing from Malaysia to Singapore.
In our case we recently crossed using a commercial express bus operator from Mersing to Singapore (June 2023). Great service and they provided a ‘Duty Officer’ on board the bus just prior to entering Singapore.
On the Johor Bahru side of the border the bus allows 40 minutes for passengers to leave the bus, collect their luggage from beneath the bus, pass through immigration and then re-board the bus which moves to a designated parking area (ie leaving Malaysia).
The 40 minute timeframe starts again when you arrive on the other side at Woodlands (entering Singapore) except in this instance you have to pass through both customs (bag and body scanning) & immigration.
We found the Singapore immigration lines frustrating as there are multiple lines which in our case was:-
Several for ‘Residents’
Several for ‘All Passports’
One for ‘Social Visitors’ (or Tourists as we discovered)
Several for people on ‘Work Permits & Other’
Several for ‘Manual’ processing (if you’re rejected at the others)
If in doubt ask, otherwise you may miss reconnecting with your bus and have to use a public bus or taxi to continue the journey to your designated drop off point in Singapore.
Also, when crossing from Malaysia to Singapore taking certain items into Singapore is prohibited or subject to customs duty (alcohol & tobacco for example) which can further impact on your 40 minute timeframe. Further information is available on the Singapore Customs website.
Crossing is currently free of charge.
翻译:首先请注意,游客需要在进入新加坡前三天(包括抵达当天)填写新加坡入境卡。
除了其他贡献者提到的延误之外,我想强调一下 Express 巴士的运营方式,至少在从马来西亚到新加坡时是这样。
在我们的案例中,我们最近使用一家商业快车运营商从丰盛港到新加坡(2023 年 6 月)。服务很棒,他们在进入新加坡之前在巴士上提供了一名“值班人员”。
在边境的新山一侧,巴士允许乘客在 40 分钟内下车,从巴士下方领取行李,通过移民局,然后重新登上巴士,巴士将移至指定停车区(即离开马来西亚) 。
当您到达另一边兀兰(进入新加坡)时,40 分钟的时间再次开始计算,但在这种情况下,您必须通过海关(行李和身体扫描)和移民局。
我们发现新加坡移民局排队很令人沮丧,因为有很多条线,在我们的例子中是:-
一些为“居民”
“所有护照”的几个
一个针对“社交访客”(或我们发现的游客)
一些适用于持有“工作许可证及其他”的人
几个用于“手动”处理(如果您被其他人拒绝)
如果有疑问,请询问,否则您可能会错过重新换乘巴士,而必须使用公共巴士或出租车继续前往您在新加坡指定的下车地点。
此外,从马来西亚过境到新加坡时,禁止携带某些物品进入新加坡或需缴纳关税(例如酒精和烟草),这可能会进一步影响您的 40 分钟时间。更多信息请访问新加坡海关网站。
目前过境是免费的。
