Foreign-registered vehicles entering Johor from Singapore must have a VEP or risk being barred from entering Malaysia.
SINGAPORE – Malaysia has implemented the Vehicle Entry Permit system since 2019 but has not enforced it in the past few years.The VEP, which comes with a radio frequency identification tag, is meant as an “identity card” for your vehicle when you drive in Malaysia.
If you drive a motorcycle, commercial vehicle or government vehicle, you still need a VEP, but the tag will be rolled out later.You should have your NRIC, passport, vehicle’s road tax, insurance, model and Certificate of Entitlement details ready. You can opt for self-collection in Johor. Malaysia’s Road Transport Department will inform you via e-mail about when, where and how to pick up your tag.
JPJ officers typically recommend that the tag be pasted on the car’s left headlamp on the passenger’s side, although some drivers have opted for the left side of their car’s windscreen. But the Touch N’ Go tag does not help the JPJ regulate foreign vehicles in Malaysia, so you still need to get the VEP-RFID tag to freely enter and exit Malaysia after Oct 1.8. I applied for the VEP a few years ago but have not received the tag. What should I do?Once your details are verified, you will be directed to make payment and choose the collection method for your tag.
