Delays expected from Jan. 9-22 due to enhanced security checks into S'pore at all checkpoints

Travellers arriving in Singapore from Jan. 9 to 22 can expect delays amidst enhanced security checks, the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) said on Thursday.

This is in view of "the heightened security situation in the region", ICA said on Facebook on Jan. 9.

Enhanced security checks on arriving travellers and conveyances at the land, air and sea checkpoints will be implemented.

Travellers are also advised to factor in additional time for immigration clearance due to delays.

United States vice-president Kamala Harris will be in Singapore on Jan. 15 to meet Singapore leaders and visit Changi Naval Base.

She will be travelling to Asia, the Middle East and Europe from Jan. 13 to 17, the White House said on Jan. 7.
