Travelling to Singapore just got easier! Changi Airport digital passport system introduces a new way to enter the country without showing your passport. The new Singapore airport no physical passport system allows, eligible travellers to simply look into a camera that scans their eyes and faces to verify their identity. This passport less immigration Changi Airport system(“token-less” system) aims to make passing through immigration faster and smoother for visitors.

Right now, they’re testing the Changi Airport biometrics passport system at Terminal 3, where special lanes have been set up. The good news is that by the end of 2024, this Singapore airport no physical passport system will be available at all of Changi’s terminals. Plus at Seletar Airport and the Marina Bay Cruise Centre.

Who Can Use Singapore’s New No-Passport System?

This passport less immigration Changi Airport lets travellers enter the country just by looking at a scanner; no passport is needed. The Changi Airport biometrics passport scanner checks their eyes and faces to make sure it’s really them. Who is eligible for no-passport system? 
  • Singapore citizens
  • Permanent residents
  • Long-term pass holders

If You’re A Foreign Visitor:

You can use it when leaving Singapore. But first, you need to stop at an immigration counter to manually register your:

  • Face scan
  • Eye scan
  • Fingerprints

Note: Children under 6 years old can’t use this system. They need to go through regular immigration checks.

Singapore’s Travel Upgrade: Faster Travel, Shorter Lines!

The air travel upgrade is already showing amazing results! The new face-and-eye scanning system, launched in May, is part of their “New Clearance Concept” and it’s changing how people enter the country.

Here’s What We Can Expect

  • By early 2026, 95% of travellers will use automatic lanes instead of showing passports to immigration officers.
  • The new system could cut waiting time at immigration by almost half(40%).
  • In just 15 days after launching, 1.5 million travellers used this new system.

According to ICA Commander Alan Koo, the new passport-free system has a double benefit. 

Immigration officers can now focus on more important security work, like checking for suspicious travellers and it helps solve two big challenges:

  • Having fewer workers as many staff get older.
  • Managing more travellers coming through Singapore’s borders.

Singapore is showing the world what the future of air travel looks like!  The Changi Airport digital passport system is making travel faster and easier, and setting an example for other airports worldwide.

In Ladakh, find the perfect blend of culture, adventure, and serenity. December last year I decided that my next trip would be Ladakh but didn’t know how to go about it. I knew I wanted to travel in a group, as I had prior experiences of traveling in a group but wanted an organiser I could trust. Ladakh isn’t like other destinations wherein you need some instructions due to the high altitudes.

After an amazing trip to Tirthan with WanderOn, I decided to go to Manali-Jispa with them and yet again, the experience was worth every penny. The place was very beautiful and the quality of service was top-notch, the itinerary was very good and the quality of transportation and stays were very good. Had an awesome time there and made some good friends as well.
