According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/economictimes.indiatimes.com\/topic\/immigration-and-checkpoints-authority\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Immigration and Checkpoints Authority<\/a> (ICA), notices will be issued to Singapore-bound flights listing travellers deemed undesirable or those lacking valid documents, including a <a href=\"https:\/\/economictimes.indiatimes.com\/topic\/visa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">visa<\/a> or a travel document with at least six months\u2019 validity.<\/p>\n<p>Under the directive, airlines must prevent these travellers from boarding. Individuals who are denied boarding can request entry approval by writing to the ICA through its feedback channel before booking a new flight to Singapore.<\/p>\n<p>The ICA will also receive passenger information from airlines and may identify certain travellers for more stringent checks, signalling <a href=\"https:\/\/economictimes.indiatimes.com\/topic\/tighter-pre-arrival-scrutiny\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tighter pre-arrival scrutiny<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Airlines that fail to comply with the instructions can face fines of up to SG $10,000.
