A Guide to Diplomatic VEP Protocols After the 2025 Reforms

Upholding Protocol in a New Digital Landscape

The movement of diplomatic vehicles between Singapore and Malaysia is a routine part of international relations. The Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) system, while applicable to all foreign vehicles, has specific protocols for those registered to diplomatic missions. The 2025 reforms to the VEP system have aimed to digitize and standardize these protocols, bringing new levels of security and efficiency, but also new procedural nuances.

The Core Principles of the 2025 Diplomatic VEP Reforms

The spirit of the reforms is to integrate diplomatic vehicles into the national VEP system while respecting their special status. The key objectives are:

• Enhanced Security: To have a clear, digital record of all vehicles, including diplomatic ones, that are within Malaysia's borders.
• Procedural Standardization: To create a more consistent and transparent VEP application process for all diplomatic missions.
• Efficiency: To leverage digital platforms to reduce paperwork and processing times, where possible.
