The Sultan Iskandar Building or Bangunan Sultan Iskandar (BSI) (Jawi: باڠونن سلطان إسکندر) is a customs, immigration and quarantine (CIQ) complex in Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia. Located at the Johor–Singapore Causeway, it is one of the two land ports of entry to Malaysia on the Malaysia–Singapore border.
The building was named after the late Sultan Iskandar of Johor. Built as part of the Southern Integrated Gateway project on the former site of the Lumba Kuda flats, Kampung Bukit Chagar, the building occupies an area of 232,237 square metres (2,499,780 sq ft), making it the largest CIQ complex in Malaysia. The building started operations in 2008, replacing the former Johor Bahru CIQ Complex.
From Malaysia, vehicular access to the building is provided by the Johor Bahru Eastern Dispersal Link Expressway, continuing after border inspection onto the Causeway to Woodlands Checkpoint in Woodlands, Singapore. Pedestrian access to the building is provided via the Johor Bahru Sentral railway station, which is linked to the building by a footbridge.
The immigration checkpoint has different checkpoints for motorcycles and cars. The checkpoint was designed with 78 counters for cars entering Malaysia, and 39 counters for those departing from Malaysia. There are 50 counters in each direction for motorcycles entering and departing Malaysia. The Secured Automated Clearance System for Malaysian Citizen Motorcyclists (M-BIKE) are provided here for all Malaysian citizen motorcyclists.
At the customs checkpoint, 36 counters are designated for cars (20 for those arriving in Malaysia and 16 for those leaving the country) and 25 for motorcycles (17 for arrivals and 8 for departures).
