Travellers are reminded to update their MyICA mobile app from Sept 30 to access the enhanced Singapore Arrival Card (SGAC), the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) said in a social media post on Wednesday (Sept 16).
Those travelling by land and using the MyICA app to generate their QR code should also update the app accordingly before making their submission.
The enhanced arrival card is currently only available on ICA's website.
The advisory comes after ICA announced a refreshed SGAC on Aug 20 with enhanced features including more languages and passport autofill .
The SGAC with electronic health declaration is a mandatory submission all travellers must make before arriving in Singapore.
Only those transiting through Singapore, and residents such as Singapore citizens, permanent residents, long-term pass holders need not do so while travelling through Woodlands and Tuas Checkpoints.
The new SGAC interface will offer 19 languages, adding seven more from the current 12: English, Malay, Bengali, German, French, Vietnamese, Hindi, Tamil, Thai, Japanese, Simplified Chinese and Korean.
AsiaOne understands that the new language options are: Arabic, Bahasa Indonesia, Dutch, Tagalog, Italian, Spanish and Russian.
Travellers' can also easily and quickly enter their personal information using the new passport scan autofill feature.
This new feature makes a user's journey more seamless, as compared to the existing process of using the "retrieve with passport" and "retrieve with visa reference number" features currently listed under the lead traveller section.
ICA said the refresh will offer travellers a user-friendly design with "smoother, easier navigation".
The enhanced SGAC was rolled out on Aug 26.

新加坡移民与关卡局（ICA）周三（9月16日）在社交媒体上发帖提醒旅客，从9月30日起更新MyICA手机应用程序，以便使用增强版新加坡入境卡（SGAC）。
陆路旅客使用 MyICA 应用程序生成二维码后，也应在提交申请前相应地更新应用程序。
目前，升级版入境卡仅在ICA网站上提供。
此前，ICA于8月20日宣布推出更新后的SGAC，增强了更多语言和护照自动填写等功能。
所有旅客在抵达新加坡之前都必须提交包含电子健康声明的SGAC表格。
只有过境新加坡的旅客，以及新加坡公民、永久居民、长期准证持有者等居民，在途经兀兰关卡和图阿斯关卡时无需办理入境手续。
新的SGAC界面将提供19种语言，在现有12种语言的基础上新增7种：英语、马来语、孟加拉语、德语、法语、越南语、印地语、泰米尔语、泰语、日语、简体中文和韩语。
AsiaOne了解到，新增的语言选项包括：阿拉伯语、印尼语、荷兰语、他加禄语、意大利语、西班牙语和俄语。
旅客还可以使用新的护照扫描自动填充功能轻松快捷地输入个人信息。
与目前在主要旅客部分列出的“凭护照取回”和“凭签证参考号取回”功能相比，这项新功能使用户的旅程更加顺畅。
ICA表示，此次更新将为旅客提供“更流畅、更便捷的导航”的用户友好型设计。
增强型 SGAC 于 8 月 26 日推出。
