To apply for a Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) to drive into Malaysia, Singapore drivers need to register for an account on the official website vep.jpj.gov.my. All categories of cars, including private and commercial vehicles, must register for a VEP before entering Malaysia. This requirement also applies to embassy and government vehicles. Applicants can upload their vehicle log card or manually input information such as the vehicle model, certificate of entitlement (COE), and chassis numbers once their account is authenticated. The vehicle log card can be obtained from the Land Transport Authority’s OneMotoring website.
To apply for a VEP, applicants need to have their NRIC, passport, vehicle road tax, insurance, car model, and COE details ready. A representative can apply for a VEP on the driver’s behalf if necessary. Once the application is approved, drivers will receive an email notification to choose a method of collecting the VEP RFID tag – either by courier to their address or by self-collection at one of the four VEP collection centres. Many drivers prefer to have the RFID tag installed at authorised centres due to long queues that result from the postal delivery option.
After receiving the VEP RFID tag, drivers can attach it either to the top left corner of the windscreen or the left headlamp of the car. It is important to ensure the tag is visible and properly installed to avoid any issues with customs or enforcement authorities when entering Malaysia. By following the necessary steps to apply for and collect the VEP RFID tag, drivers can enjoy a smoother and more efficient process when driving into Malaysia.
