Starting 1 April 2022, Malaysia is reopening its borders to international visitors! That means less entry requirements to travel quarantine-free once again!
Meanwhile, Singapore is also replacing its Vaccinated Travel Lanes with the new Vaccinated Travel Framework. We know, things are changing pretty quick, so here’s a guide to travelling between Singapore and Malaysia over Land and Air for vaccinated travellers.
Entry via Air Travel
Pre-departure from Singapore:
– Download the MySejahtera app. Register an account and fill up the pre-departure form on the app (you’ll need a local address in Malaysia)
– Verify your vaccination certificate on MySafeTravel portal (print hardcopy)
– Take a PCR or supervised ART test within two days before departure
Note: Travel insurance is not mandatory
On-arrival in Malaysia:
On-arrival test is no longer required for all vaccinated travellers or under the age of 12.
Pre-departure from Malaysia:
Complete SG Arrival Card within three days of arrival
*There will no longer be VTL designated flights, any flight is ok to book for quarantine-free arrival.

Pre-departure from Singapore:
– Download the MySejahtera app. Register an account and fill up the pre-departure form on the app (you’ll need a local address in Malaysia*)

*For daytrippers without a lodging address in Malaysia, we’ve heard that other travellers have indicated “Johor” under “address” and managed to submit it in the app.
Note: Pre-departure test and travel insurance is not mandatory
DRIVERS
– Register for a Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP)
– Successful applicants will have the VEP RFID tag installed on their vehicle
Toll charges will be waived from 1 to 7 April to ease the movement of vehicles.
*Pro-tip: Travellers can purchase the EZ-Link x Touch ‘n Go card — a dual-currency card designed for Singapore motorists travelling to Malaysia.
NON-DRIVERS
Non-drivers are eligible for this if travelling on the following modes of transport:
– Vaccinated-travel bus services operated by Malaysia and Singapore bus operators
– Public transport including chartered buses, cross-border bus services, employee buses, tour/express buses, and taxi
– Private cars and motorcycles
– Pedestrians can walk across the causeway
On-arrival in Malaysia
On-arrival test and entry cards are no longer required for travellers entering from Singapore.
Before returning to Singapore
– From 15 April, SG Arrival Card is no longer required for fully-vaccinated Singaporeans, permanent residents and long-term pass holders. Other travellers need complete it within three days before returning.
