SINGAPORE: Singapore will cease to accept the Malaysian Collective Travel Document (MCTD) for entry by Malaysians into Singapore effective Jan 1,2021. The Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) said the move was to strengthen the security and efficiency of immigration clearance at Singapore’s checkpoints. According to ICA, MCTD is a travel document issued by the Malaysian Immigration Department to groups of five to 20 Malaysians, in lieu of passports. ICA said MCTD posed security concerns as it facilitated the sharing of one travel document by multiple unrelated travellers. ICA will also not accept any collective travel document from other countries.
