Overview

One-year facilitation sticker for frequent Singapore-Malaysia commuters and Iskandar Malaysia workers holding valid long-term passes, enabling expedited border crossings.

The Malaysia-ASEAN Corridor Sticker (MACS) is a specialized facilitation facility developed to support the economic integration of the Iskandar Malaysia region. Established to streamline the movement of frequent travelers between Malaysia and Singapore, it addresses the logistical burden of passport stamping for commuters. By utilizing an RFID-enabled sticker, the system reduces the need for physical stamps, thereby preserving passport pages and significantly speeding up immigration clearance at designated checkpoints.

This facility is intended for frequent travelers, including investors, business professionals, and long-term pass holders who regularly commute between Malaysia and Singapore. It is ideal for those who require efficient, daily, or weekly border crossings. What makes MACS distinctive is that it is not a visa or a pass itself, but an enhancement for existing long-term pass holders, providing them with dedicated, rapid-clearance lanes and exemption from filling out manual arrival cards.
