CausewayMyICA QR code clearance at Woodlands and Tuas
The ICA QR code is generated in the MyICA mobile app and can be shown instead of passports by travellers using Woodlands and Tuas by car, motorcycle, lorry or bus. In the app, create or update a profile for each traveller, then generate an individual or group QR code before reaching the booth. Every traveller must still carry a valid passport, and some travellers must present it.
Travellers using Singapore’s land checkpoints by car, motorcycle, lorry or bus can generally present a QR code generated in the MyICA mobile app instead of handing over passports at the counter. Important exceptions and passport-carrying rules still apply.
Before reaching the checkpoint
- Download the official MyICA mobile app.
- Create or update each traveller profile using current passport details.
- Generate an individual or group QR code before arriving at the clearance booth.
- Check the QR code expiry shown in the app and regenerate it when necessary.
Who should expect to show a passport?
ICA lists exceptions including first-time foreign visitors entering Singapore and travellers re-entering Singapore with a different passport from their previous visit. Officers may also request passports for verification.
At the checkpoint
Use the generated QR code at the applicable car, motorcycle, lorry, bus or bus-passenger lane. Keep the phone ready before reaching the booth and follow the instructions displayed by ICA officers and equipment.
Frequently asked questions
ICA details in these answers were checked against the official ICA QR clearance page on 6 October 2026.
What is the ICA QR code?
It is a QR code generated in the MyICA mobile app. Travellers arriving and departing Singapore by car, motorcycle, lorry or bus via Woodlands and Tuas checkpoints can use it instead of passports for immigration clearance.
How do I get an ICA QR code?
Download the official MyICA mobile app, create or update a profile for each traveller using current passport details, and generate an individual or group QR code before arriving at the clearance booth.
Does everyone in the vehicle need to be in the MyICA app?
Create or update a MyICA profile for each traveller with current passport details; the app can then generate an individual or a group QR code. ICA’s QR clearance page does not set out further group rules, so follow the latest instructions in the MyICA app and on the ICA page.
Who still has to show a passport?
ICA lists first-time foreign visitors entering Singapore and travellers re-entering Singapore with a different passport from their last visit. Officers may also request passports for verification.
Do I still need to carry my passport?
Yes. QR clearance does not remove the requirement to carry a valid passport when travelling overseas. Update the MyICA profile after any passport renewal.
Does the QR code expire?
Check the expiry shown in the MyICA app and regenerate the QR code when necessary. ICA’s QR clearance page does not state a fixed validity period, so the app is the controlling reference.
