By road: Woodlands or Tuas

ICA runs the land checkpoints at Woodlands and Tuas. Traffic can build up on long weekends and holidays, so check ICA's driving in and out of Singapore page before you leave.

Bring your passport. ICA says you must still bring it for travel when using QR code clearance. ICA also offers QR code clearance through the MyICA app at both checkpoints (see its QR code page).

By train: the RTS Link

LTA describes the RTS Link as connecting Woodlands North in Singapore with Bukit Chagar in Johor Bahru, a train journey of about five minutes, with Customs, Immigration and Quarantine facilities co-located so passengers clear both countries at their departure point.

On 2 October 2026 LTA published that passenger service is now expected to start in February 2027, subject to independent safety certification and final approvals. We have not listed fares or opening hours because we have no official figure.
