According to the airport website www.senaiairport.com/to-from-the-airport/by-bus there is a shuttle bus between the airport and JB Sentral. You can check the schedule on Causeway Link website.
hi, thanks for the very informative video. Could you help me with how long the journey takes? Google map says 6hrs+ by train but in your video (and in the KTM website when I checked to book the tkts) it says only 5min. This extreme difference is making perplexed! TIA.
Hi, Nidah. Crossing the Tebrau Strait by train really takes just 5 minutes (in fact, it's even possible to walk). Are you sure you Googled JB to Singapore and not KL to Singapore? Because it does take around 5 hours to drive from KL to Singapore.
If I'm a foreign national crossing, i assume it would be better to be there much earlier coz we might need to go thru immigration. You think it would be long? Also does the bus from Woodlands accept any debit card either Visa or Mastercard? Thank you!
Hi, Anna. I'm assuming that as long as you have a biometric passport, you can go through immigration with no problem, but sure, it's always wise to arrive early in case there's anything wrong. And yes, buses in Singapore generally accept contactless debit cards.
Hi, thanks for your very informative vid. Do you know how long it takes for the checkpoint/immigration on both from JB - Singapore and Singapore - JB? I need to buy the shuttle ticket to match accordingly with my KTM ticket back to Gemas 😢
Hi, Hafizah. In my experience, it didn't take too long, about 15 minutes max. Do note that I usually go in low season. Not sure if it gets a lot busier on weekends or public holidays.
Personally, I think the train is more spacious and comfortable than shuttle buses. We saw a lot of people bringing luggage on the train. And since everyone has to book a seat, there is no standing passenger, hence no issue of overcrowding.
Hi, as mentioned in the video, your passport won't be stamped. You'll only need to go through the automatic gates. But i guess this depends on your nationality.
I have a Philippine passport, and I am planning to go to Singapore, can I stay in Johor Bahru (assuming that accomodations will be cheaper) and then just go to Singapore on a daily basis during my let's say 4-5day stay?
Hi, technically I don't think there should be a problem. But I'm not sure if there's a limit as to how many times a person can enter and leave a country within a certain period. Perhaps you will need to have all supporting documents ready (hotel reservations, tour bookings, etc) in case it raises suspicion. But to be absolutely certain, it's best to check with the Malaysian and Singapore embassies in your country.
Hi.. we are gonna go to changi airport singapore from Johor Bahru this june. We travel with 3yo kid. Would you to recommend us what transport we should use? I check on google so many private car transport, but do you have one is trusted? Because its my first time
Hi, I don't have any contact for a private car unfortunately, but public transports in Singapore are super clean, modern, and organized, taking a toddler with you should be very doable even with strollers and all. However, if it's still too much hassle, you can always get a taxi or Grab to the airport. To cross the border, I personally think the train is the best option as long as you book tickets in advance.
My train tiket time from jbc to singpore 7.00am(malaysia time) And my tiket back frm singpore to jbc 9.00pm...with time we follow...malaysia or singapore time
Hi there, as of now, there are no direct trains from Kuala Lumpur to JB Sentral or vice versa. You have to change trains at Gemas station. Please refer to their official website for more info: www.ktmb.com.my/intercity-routes-map.html
Hi, I think it's perfectly doable. There are elevators at the stations, and the trains are spacious enough for strollers. Anyway, the train ride is just 5 minutes and you can easily get a Grab to/from the stations. 🙂
Thanks for the great guidance, one question, is it realistic to commute from jb to sg by train everyday? do we need to purchase the ticket in advance(e.g. 1 week before the actual trip to avoid ticket sold out)?
Hi, it's quite tough to commute by train every day, because like you said, you'll have to book in advance, and to do that, you'll also need to know exactly what times you'll be taking the train. Buses would probably be an easier option.
@@UmmiGoesWhere Thanks for the reply Ummi, I was aiming for bus but just to discover alternatives, since commute by bus during peak hour is quite tough as well, but yea that will be my first option for now, thank you!
@@infteh2543 you're welcome. I've also heard of people crossing the border on foot. It's permissible and can be faster during peak seasons like public holidays when cars are stuck in traffic for hours at the checkpoint. So that's another option to be considered if all else fails. All the best for your trip!
Hi sister I am planning to go to Singapore next month for my relative house warming HDB Flat and this is second visit to Singapore after 10 years. I have three questions. My 1st question is do I have to go to the Singapore Immigration Counter for stamping or am I allowed to use the autogate. The second question what kind of questions usually immigration officers used to ask for Malaysian passport holders. My last question is how much money should I must have to enter into Singapore does the immigration officer will raise it as a issue if amount of money I need to bring didnt fulfill?
Hi, Ramanathan. 1. Yes, you will have to go to the immigration counter in Singapore, but they won't stamp your passport. Basically they will just check your digital arrival card because all the details regarding your stay will be there. So you will need to fill up the online form before you go: www.ica.gov.sg/enter-transit-depart/entering-singapore/sg-arrival-card 2. They never asked me anything, but have your answers ready anyway, just in case. It's unlikely that they will ask, but typical questions at an immigration counter are: your purpose of visiting, who you're traveling with, how long you're staying, where you're staying, whether you have a return ticket. 3. Nope, never been asked how much money I had with me. In any case, you can just tell them you have a debit/credit card that you will use during your stay. Hope this helps, and have fun in Singapore!
Hello. Yes, you can use Grab app in Singapore. Grabpay or MAE e-wallet won't work there though. You have to use either cash or credit/debit card (including Wise)
Yes, you should be able to use your Ambank debit card. Just make sure you activate it first for overseas use. This can usually be done online or at the ATM (or you can contact your bank for further assistance). Link for the shuttle train ticket: shuttleonline.ktmb.com.my/Home/Shuttle
Yes, your bags will need to go through customs screening, but you're allowed to bring food as long as they are in 'small, reasonable quantities'. For more details, please refer to this page: www.sfa.gov.sg/food-import-export/bringing-food-for-personal-use
So better we stay in Johor Bahru and then visit Singapore right? I looking for an hotel or appartment but in airbnb many recommendation in Johor Bahru.
When you buy the tickets, you will need to enter your friends' passport details. Then when it's boarding time, they can straight away use their passports to enter the gate as the passports have already been linked to the tickets.
Seems stays in Malaysia is waaaay cheaper than in SG. Would you recommend for tourists to just stay in MY near the train station and just visit SG everyday via train or the daily hassle is not worth it? Thanks for the response :)
Hi, Hiang. A biometric passport is a passport embedded with a chip containing biometric information. This allows you to use electronic gates at the border without having to go to an immigration counter. All Malaysian passports should be biometric now. If yours is the one with the hard front cover and a biometric logo on the bottom center, then you're good to go. 🙂
Typically, regular commuters only make two border crossings per day, from JB to Singapore and back or vice versa. Not sure if there is a limit to how many times you can cross per day though. Best check with the immigration officer or a Singaporean/Malaysian embassy in your area.
Hi, Ghazwan. I'm not 100% sure, but if you have a biometric passport, I think you will just go through the automatic gates, no stamps will be given. In any case, there are counters available if you need to get it stamped.
What about as Foreigner if you want stay less than 24 hours in Singapore and go same day back to Johar Bahur / Malaysia back its no Problem..?

But what i dont understand is, to fill out this Arrival Card for Singapore 3 days befor or within 3 days go to Singapore? I Planing to go soon to Singapore by train..
Hi, Daniel. You have to fill out the arrival card for Singapore 3 days *before* arrival, otherwise you may be denied entry. I don't think there should be a problem if you go for less than 24 hours and return on the same day to Malaysia. But I guess this also depends on how long you have stayed in Malaysia before that. Are you planning to do a visa run to Singapore? If so, perhaps this forum can give you some insight: www.expat.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=988896
