· Malaysia Home Finder
Buying a home in Johor Bahru does not give you the right to live there. Your stay depends on your passport and the pass you hold. This page sets out the rules for short visits, the long-term passes, and the Singapore rules that matter if you move.在新山买房,并不代表您有权住在那里。能住多久,取决于您的护照和所持的准证。本页说明短期入境规定、长期准证,以及搬过去住时要注意的新加坡规定。
Short visits: Singaporeans短期入境:新加坡人
Singapore’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) says Singaporeans do not need a visa to enter Malaysia for up to 30 days. See the MFA travel page.新加坡外交部表示,新加坡人入境马来西亚停留最多30天无需签证。查看外交部旅行页面。
- Your passport must be valid for more than 6 months when you enter.入境时护照有效期须超过6个月。
- Singapore passport holders are exempt from the Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) at all entry points.新加坡护照持有人在所有入境点都免填马来西亚数字入境卡(MDAC)。
- If you want to enrol your fingerprints for e-gate clearance, MFA says to submit the MDAC three days before you arrive.如想登记指纹以使用自动通关闸门,外交部建议在抵达前三天提交MDAC。
- The Malaysia Automated Clearance System (MACS) is only available at Johor’s land checkpoints.马来西亚自动通关系统(MACS)只在柔佛陆路关卡提供。

If you live in JB and cross every day住在新山、每天过关
Each entry is a fresh visit, and the officer at the checkpoint decides it. In March 2023, MustShareNews reported that a Singaporean who lived in JB and worked in Singapore said he was turned away on consecutive days and told to “leave a gap” before his next entry. No official reason was given. MustShareNews, 25 Mar 2023.每次入境都算一次新的访问,由关卡官员决定。2023年3月,MustShareNews报道,一名住在新山、在新加坡工作的新加坡人表示,他连续几天被拒入境,并被告知下次入境前”留点间隔”。官方没有说明原因。MustShareNews,2023年3月25日。
If you plan to live in JB most of the year, look at a long-term pass rather than relying on visit-free entry.如果打算一年大部分时间住在新山,应考虑申请长期准证,而不是依赖免签入境。
Where you buy changes that commute. Projects within walking distance of the station are listed on near the RTS Bukit Chagar station, and the wider picture is in is buying in JB right for you.你买在哪里,会直接影响通勤。步行可达车站的项目列在RTS武吉查卡站附近,整体情况见在新山买房适合你吗。

FAQ常见问题
Does buying a JB condo give me a visa?买了新山公寓就有签证吗?
No. Property does not come with a pass. MM2H requires a home purchase, but it also needs a fixed deposit, an application and approval.没有。买房不附带准证。第二家园要求买房,但也需要定期存款、提交申请并获批准。
How long can a Singaporean stay each visit?新加坡人每次可以停留多久?
Up to 30 days without a visa, per Singapore’s MFA.根据新加坡外交部,免签最多30天。
Can I live in JB and commute to Singapore every day?可以住新山、每天去新加坡上班吗?
