Zhulkarnain Abdul Rahim on screening of travellers who may intend to engage in illicit activities
Singapore takes a risk-based, multi-layered approach to identify visitors who may intend to engage in unlawful activities. It does not track foreigners on visa-free entry within this group. However, overall checks have become more robust, with pre-arrival traveller assessments extended further upstream. Last year, about 45,000 foreign visitors were refused entry - a more than 38 per cent increase from 2024. Minister of State for Home Affairs Zhulkarnain Abdul Rahim said this in answer to parliamentary questions on Thursday (Sep 10).
