Travellers arriving in Singapore from Jan 9 to 22 can expect enhanced security checks and delays, said the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA).
"In view of the heightened security situation in the region, ICA will be implementing enhanced security checks on arriving travellers and conveyances at the land, air and sea checkpoints from Jan 9 to 22," it said in a Facebook post on Jan 9.
Travellers are also advised to factor in additional time for immigration clearance due to delays at the checkpoints.
