Changi Airport cuts traveller clearance time to 10 seconds with passport-less system

Close to 1.5 million travellers have benefited from the setup.

Changi Airport has cut traveller clearance time to 10 seconds from 25, following its full passport-less rollout.

As of 15 October, the airport has cleared close to 1.5 million travellers without having to present a passport.

Under the passport-less immigration scheme, Singapore residents can clear immigration on arrival and departure without showing a passport.

Foreign visitors, however, must still present passports on arrival but can use passport-less clearance for departures.

Despite the new passport-less clearance, the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) advises all travellers to carry their passports in case of checks at their destination or for verification purposes.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
