The announcement of the expansion of the VTL (visit, travel, live) scheme for Singaporeans is a big deal. With this, it will be easier for Singaporeans to visit Johor Bahru, and even live there! Singaporeans can now head off to the shopping and foodie paradise of Johor Bahru without having to worry about travel restrictions so long as they have a valid VTL voucher. The scheme has been expanded, effective 20th December 2021, and is now the main transportation option for those looking to cross the causeway.
As you’ve already heard, Malaysia and Singapore VTL travel have two modes of transportation that you can choose from which are through land and air. Despite that, which one is more convenient and cost efficient remains a question for many of us.
That being said, let’s dive in and break down the process and cost between the two.
Among the SOPs are:
Only for fully vaccinated travelers.
No quarantine needed.
Undergo a Covid-19 test 48 hours before departure: a. RT-PCR test for VTL-Air travelers. b. RTK-Ag (professional) or RT-PCR test for VTL-Land travelers.
Undergo Covid-19 test on arrival: a. RT-PCR test in KLIA/ KLIA 2 for VTL-Air travelers. b. RTK-Ag (professional) test at Larkin Sentral Bus Terminal in Johor Bahru for VTL-Land travelers.
Additional Tests Required: a. RTK-Ag (professional) teston Day-3 and Day-5. b. RT-Ag self test on Day-2, Day-4 and Day-6 (results to be reported on the MySejahtera application)
The additional testalso applies to Malaysian VTL travelers returning from Singapore.
Choose your mode of travel
VTL Land
For VTL land between Singapore and Malaysia, there’s only 2 available buses for you to choose from either Causeway Link or Transtar Travel. Each departure ticket from Singapore is priced at S$15 (+-RM47) for adults and S$8 (+- RM25) for children. It’s cheaper when you’re going to Singapore with each ticket price at RM20 (+-S$7) for adults and RM10 (+-S$3) for children.
Before the pandemic it was estimated more than 300,000 people cross the Malaysia–Singapore border everyday which makes it one of the busiest land border crossings in the world. Although the number was reduced to a mere 3000 people, and even lower to 1500 people recently, there are many who need to cross the border everyday.
This in turn makes the VTL bus ticket very popular and highly sought after by everyone. We advised you to book early if you choose to cross using the VTL land option.
VTL Air
For air travel, you can choose between six airlines that provide VTL Flights : Singapore Airlines, Scoot, AirAsia, Jetstar, Malaysia Airlines, and Malindo Air. Be sure to double check every detail that your flight you are booking is the designated VTL flight.
The ticket price (including return ticket) varies depending on how long your travel time and when your departure date. But the estimated cost is between S$747 – S$980 per adult person. So, it’s clear to say that VTL land by bus is better if you’re only looking to cross the border into Johor Bahru. But, if you are planning to spend your vacation at a place much farther away, go ahead and book the VTL flight.
Get Travel Insurance That Include COVID-19 Coverage
Both the Singapore and Malaysia governments agreed to make it compulsory for short term visitors to have an insurance policy which covers at least RM100,000 (S$32,200 to enter Malaysia and S$30,000 to enter Singapore) in the event they need treatment or quarantined due to COVID-19.
Download MySejahtera App for Use in Malaysia
MySejahtera has become as important as wearing a mask when you leave your house. It’s compulsory to use this app to enter most restaurants, malls, and public amenities that are available in Malaysia.
You can find and install the app thru App Store, Play Store and even HUAWEI Store. IMPORTANT TIPS: Do not wait till the last minute to verify your vaccination status on the app. You’ll have to upload your vaccination cert and details, and it will take up to five working days for it to be processed. The process will look like this:
Head over to your profile on the app
Tap on “MySejahtera Helpdesk” (option N)
Select “I have received my vaccination overseas and would like to obtain my digital certificate”
Follow the instructions from there to fill in the necessary details and upload your vaccination cert
Travelers also have to register at Malaysia’s MySafeTravel portal, at least seven days before your flight. So, you need to prepare everything early (a week before) from your departure date to avoid any issues at the border checkpoint.
Arrival in Johor Bahru
Once you land in Johor Bahru, the first thing you’ll have to do is take an On-Arrival Test at Larkin Bus Terminal (VTL by land) or Senai International Airport if you choose the VTL flight. The test costs RM90 (~S$29.30) but includes 2 travel vouchers valid on bus rides within the state. Tourists can book the RTK-Ag Tests online, or they can do it at a nearby hospital or clinic.

Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, holds profound significance for Muslims worldwide. It involves fasting from dawn until sunset, symbolizing self-discipline and spiritual growth.
In Malaysia, where Muslims make up more than 63.5% of the population, Ramadan is a major cultural event. However, for visitors, the prospect of experiencing Malaysia during this holy month may raise questions and uncertainties.

More than just abstaining from food and drink, Ramadan is a time for introspection, prayer, and acts of charity. Muslims fast from dawn until dusk, reflecting on their faith and strengthening their connection to Allah.
In Malaysia, the warm climate adds an extra layer of challenge to the fasting experience, yet the atmosphere remains filled with devotion and camaraderie. In Malaysia, Ramadan typically begins with the sighting of the crescent moon and lasts for 29 to 30 days, culminating in the celebration of Eid.

During Ramadan in Malaysia, urban areas like Kuala Lumpur maintain normal business operations, while Muslim-majority regions like Kelantan and Terengganu see eateries closing during the day.
Malaysian Muslims abstain from public eating, and restaurants don’t serve Muslim patrons during fasting hours. Non-Muslims may choose to respect this custom by avoiding public dining during fasting times and making reservations for peak hours.
Throughout Ramadan, Malaysia is filled with a festive atmosphere. Major shopping malls in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor are adorned with Eid decorations, offering bargains and bustling with activity. Local Eid songs fill the airwaves, mosques host Tarawih prayers and communal suppers called ‘moreh,’ and nighttime is lit up with decorations and fireworks.
Benefits of Ramadan Visits
Contrary to common assumptions, visiting Malaysia during Ramadan offers several advantages:
– Reduced Crowds: With many locals preferring indoor activities during fasting hours, tourist attractions are less crowded during the day.
– Shorter Wait Times: Dining out becomes more convenient, with shorter wait times and attentive service.
– Ramadan Bazaars: These markets offer a unique culinary experience, featuring affordable takeaway meals and regional delicacies.
– Communal Meals: Joining communal iftar meals provides an opportunity for cultural immersion and social interaction.
– Eid Celebrations: Staying through Ramadan allows visitors to experience the vibrant festivities of Eid, including open houses and cultural events.
– Pack snacks when traveling to rural Muslim-majority areas.
– Dress modestly out of respect for local customs.
– Be aware of changes in operating hours for businesses and government offices.
– Plan travel around Eid to avoid traffic congestion and crowded public transportation.
To Sum Up
Ramadan in Malaysia is not just about religious observance; it’s a lively celebration of faith, culture, and community. Whether you’re engaging in traditional customs or simply enjoying the festive atmosphere, Ramadan in Malaysia offers an unforgettable cultural experience that leaves a lasting impression on all who participate.
