They’ve introduced facial recognition at this border, starting with motorcyclists. You just scan a QR code to get in. If that’s not an option, the gates are automated – you scan your passport and you can walk straight through.
Singapore has the smoothest border controls I’ve ever experienced; it takes me less than half an hour between stepping off a plane at Changi to stepping into my apartment.
Whenever I fly to Europe (from New Zealand), I always go via Singapore, I just zip through, everything is convenient and clean.
Transiting through the American shitshow that requires clearing immigration again on the other hand…
