Your Singapore Consulate Johor Bahru FAQ

What is a consulate general?
A consulate general is a diplomatic office representing one country within a major city of another country. The Singapore Consulate General in Johor Bahru handles affairs like passport services, notarial acts, and assistance for Singaporeans in the southern Malaysia region. It is different from an embassy, which is usually located in the host country's capital.

How do I get into Singapore from Johor Bahru?

For entry into Singapore, citizens and residents may use the Causeway (Woodlands) or Second Link (Tuas) by car or bus with a valid passport. If driving a foreign-registered vehicle, a mandatory Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) is required, which must be applied for online at least two weeks in advance and includes an Autopass card, LTA approval email, and valid Singapore insurance. Note that Singapore Citizens, Permanent Residents, and most local pass holders are prohibited from driving foreign-registered vehicles in the country. Always confirm the latest regulations via the official ICA and LTA websites.

Can I walk in to the Malaysia embassy?
For the Malaysian High Commission in Singapore, it is strongly recommended to make an appointment in advance for most services. "Walk-in" availability is often limited and can result in long waits or being turned away. Always check the official website of the Malaysian High Commission in Singapore for specific appointment procedures before you go.

Who is the High Commissioner of Singapore to Malaysia?
The head of Singapore's diplomatic mission in Malaysia is the High Commissioner, as both countries are members of the Commonwealth. For the most current information on the diplomatic representative, please refer to the official directory on the website of Singapore's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA).
