The launch of Vaccinated Travel Lane-Land (VTL-Land) between Malaysia and Singapore on 29 November 2021 is to facilitate quarantine-free, seamless cross-border movement by integrating health protocol, security and immigration clearance.

True to its purpose of providing opportunities for both countries to reopen the land border in a gradual, safe, systematic and sustainable manner; necessary health measures are implemented and imposed to travellers between Malaysia and Singapore.
Due to increased public demand for travel via VTL-Land, all categories of travellers who are Malaysian and Singaporean citizens will be able to enter Singapore and Malaysia respectively, via VTL (Land) effective 20 December 2021. Holders of Malaysian Permanent Resident status can continue to enter Malaysia via VTL (Land).
