No cashcard check at Singapore Customs?Slow service at fast food chains in Johor Bahru

MACS Booth at Holiday Plaza!

October 29th, 2011 admin

If you are one of the many Singaporeans whom head to Johor Bahru more than once a month, you will encounter the slight frustration of filling up the white card (or some call it white form) which is required for entry into Johor Bahru. This is even worse if you are traveling with young kids, as YOU will need to fill up their white cards as well.

The Malaysia Automated Clearance System (MACS) has already been introduced years back – it uses a sticker (which is pasted at the back of your passport) that contains a barcode and is scanned by the Malaysia customs officer to expedite the custom clearance. More importantly, it eradicates the need for any white form.

For a very limited time, you can apply MACS for your entire family at Holiday Plaza, Johor Bahru! From now till 15th Nov 2011 (includes weekends but excludes holidays), from 11am to 7pm daily, the Immigration Department of Malaysian has set up a booth at Holiday Plaza (just outside Guardian pharmacy) to process your application ON THE SPOT. This means that you can also receive the required stickers ON THE SPOT. Application is super fast and does not require any photographs (as they will scan off the photograph image from your passport directly for the MACS sticker).

Finally, time to say bye-bye to white cards. And no more cars will be cursing behind you, should you realise that you did not fill up the white card for the entire family only at the Johor Bahru custom booth itself.

    At the customs, it depends on the officer in charge. Some wave u on after u flash your macs sticker. Nowadays, most will still need to scan the first page of your passport. So the clearance time is not shorten.
