An information counter for drivers of Singapore-registered cars with questions about their vehicle entry permit will open in Woodlands on Aug 19, said Malaysia’s Road Transport Department .
It has been running a centre in Danga Bay, Johor Bahru, but there is a need for an office in Woodlands, due to the surge in visitors after Malaysian Transport Minister Anthony Loke announced on May 28 that foreign-registered vehicles entering Johor from Singapore will require a VEP from Oct 1, or risk being fined or barred from entering Malaysia.
The VEP was first announced in 2017. Its implementation was postponed twice, in 2019 and 2020, due to issues with the VEP-RFID tag’s installation and registration.The transport ministry has so far received 58,791 applications made through the portal and physical counters. The number of applications received in the past two months exceeded those in the previous two years, Mr Loke said.
The Transport Minister also reminded motorists to activate their VEP-RFID tags within seven days upon receiving them. If they forget to do so, they can “reactivate” the tags on the application portal.
