Woodlands Checkpoint

Woodlands CIQ Complex (also known as Woodlands Checkpoint) is an immigration checkpoint on the Singapore side of the Johor–Singapore Causeway, near Woodlands Centre Road. All people and goods moving across the Causeway must clear the Checkpoint before they can continue on their journey.

For bus passengers, they must alight from the bus with all their belongings and pass through immigration on their own before being allowed to re-board their buses.

Woodlands CIQ Complex contains two processing areas for bus commuters, one for each direction of traffic flow (in and out of Singapore). When a bus arrives at the Checkpoint, it alights all passengers at the alighting berth, where lifts and escalators take passengers to the upper floor where the immigration clearances are located. After clearing immigration, passengers take lifts or escalators down to the boarding berths, where passengers re-board their buses.

For the immigration checkpoint that is southbound, there will be a secondary airport security style screening, to screen hand-carrying luggages and bags. Once you finish the procedure, you can go down to board the bus.

At the same time, after alighting passengers, the empty bus will be subjected to security checks by immigration officials before being allowed to continue. The bus driver will then clear immigration and proceed to the berths to pick up passengers. While public buses have dedicated queuing berths, private buses must use the end-on berths. The flow is similar for buses entering and leaving Singapore.
