Sultan Iskandar Building

The Sultan Iskandar Building is a customs and immigration facility in Johor Bahru located at the northern end of the Johor-Singapore Causeway. It features separate processing zones with multiple counters arranged to handle vehicles entering and leaving Malaysia efficiently.

The facility opened in December 2008 on land previously occupied by Lumba Kuda residential flats and replaced an older checkpoint structure. This modernization reflected growing cross-border traffic between Malaysia and Singapore.

The building honors Sultan Iskandar of Johor through its name, a common practice in Malaysia for significant public structures. You will notice officials and travelers moving through the space daily, making it a working hub where the relationship between Malaysia and Singapore is actively managed.

Allow extra time during peak hours, as vehicle processing can vary significantly depending on the time of day. The facility is well-organized for different vehicle types, so follow the signs to reach the correct lane for your vehicle.

The facility was among the first in Malaysia to introduce a fully electronic toll collection system for vehicle processing. This technology helped reduce wait times and made the border crossing experience more streamlined.
