Philippine passport holders are now eligible to use the automated immigration lanes at Changi Airport. Just make sure to fill up the online SG arrival card before going through immigration. The online SG arrival card can be submitted as early as 3 days before arrival at Changi Airport up to the moment before passing through immigration.

How to use the regular immigration lanes (for manual processing):

1. Submit your passport to the immigration officer.

2. Show the email confirming your submission of the SG arrival card.

3. Have your photo taken and your thumbprint scanned. Then that's it!

In a few minutes, you shall receive an email of your electronic visit pass! Welcome to Singapore! 😊

Passport holders from the ff countries are now allowed to use the automated immigration lanes.

MY TIP:

2. At departure, also use the automated immigration lanes so you can avail of the automated boarding system
