Motorcyclist and pillion riders travelling via Woodlands Checkpoint will be able to use facial recognition immigration clearance at selected car lanes from Oct 15.
The Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) announced this in a social media post on Friday (Oct 9).
This will enable more motorcyclists to be cleared efficiently, especially during peak periods, and allow for more lanes to operate without the need of an ICA officer.
Based on the trials, motorcyclists can also expect clearance times at these lanes to be about 10 per cent, or around two seconds, shorter than at manual lanes.
The selected lanes will use facial recognition to automatically clear travellers, making the clearance process seamless, contactless and more secure, the authority said.
It is available to all Singaporean residents, long-term pass holders and foreign visitors who have previously entered Singapore.
The use of facial recognition as the primary biometric identifier for immigration clearance was first announced by ICA on March 26.
First-time foreign visitors and those re-entering Singapore with a different passport from their previous trip will first have to undergo manual immigration clearance before they are able to use QR code and facial recognition for subsequent trips.
ICA announced on Sept 18 that facial recognition for immigration clearance has been made operational at all 80 automated arrival and departure lanes at Tuas Checkpoint.

从 10 月 15 日起，途经兀兰关卡的摩托车骑手和乘客可以在指定车道使用人脸识别入境通关系统。
移民与关卡局（ICA）于周五（10月9日）在社交媒体上发布了这一消息。
这将使更多摩托车驾驶员能够高效地通过检查，尤其是在高峰时段，并允许更多车道在无需移民与关卡局官员的情况下运行。
根据试验结果，摩托车驾驶员还可以预期，这些车道的通行时间将比手动车道缩短约 10%，即大约 2 秒。
该机构表示，选定的通道将使用面部识别技术自动放行旅客，使放行过程无缝、非接触式且更加安全。
新加坡所有居民、长期准证持有者以及之前入境过新加坡的外国游客均可申请。
移民与关卡局 (ICA) 于 3 月 26 日首次宣布将使用面部识别作为入境许可的主要生物识别方式。
首次来新加坡的外国游客以及持与上次旅行不同的护照再次入境新加坡的游客，必须先经过人工入境检查，才能在后续旅行中使用二维码和人脸识别技术。
移民与关卡局 (ICA) 于 9 月 18 日宣布，大士关卡所有 80 条自动出入境通道已启用人脸识别入境通关系统。
