SINGAPORE – 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.
US Vice-President Kamala Harris was scheduled to travel to Singapore, Bahrain and Germany from Jan 13 to 17, the White House said on Jan 7.
According to the White House, Ms Harris was scheduled to meet Singapore leaders and visit Changi Naval Base on Jan 15.
The White House has since announced on Jan 9 that Ms Harris has cancelled her foreign trip due to the ongoing wildfires in California, after US President Joe Biden made a similar decision a day earlier.
