Understanding the road tax requirement for Malaysia VEP registration
No, you cannot obtain a VEP without valid road tax for your Singapore car. Road tax is a fundamental requirement that Malaysian authorities check during the VEP registration process. This requirement ensures that only legally compliant vehicles from Singapore are permitted to enter Malaysia.
Valid road tax serves as proof that your vehicle is legally registered and authorized to operate on Singapore roads. Malaysian authorities reason that if your car isn't legally compliant in Singapore, it shouldn't be allowed on Malaysian roads either. This logical approach makes road tax verification an essential part of the VEP process.
The road tax requirement isn't just about having road tax - it must be current and valid at the time of your VEP application. Expired road tax will result in automatic application rejection. Malaysian authorities have systems in place to verify the status of your Singapore road tax, making it impossible to circumvent this requirement.
The road tax verification process is automated and efficient. Malaysian authorities can quickly check the status of your Singapore road tax, which means any attempt to submit an application with expired road tax will be immediately identified and rejected.
