How to Reactivate a Dormant VEP RFID Tag After Months of No Use

Don't let an inactive tag spoil your first trip back to Malaysia.

After a long period without travelling into Malaysia, many Singaporean drivers are discovering a new problem: their VEP RFID tag has gone "dormant." You could have a valid tag, sufficient eWallet balance, and still be denied entry because the system has marked your tag as inactive due to prolonged non-use.

The VEP system is designed to manage millions of vehicles. To maintain efficiency, tags that haven't been used for a significant period (typically over a year) may be automatically flagged as inactive or dormant. This prevents the system from being clogged with data from cars that may no longer be in use or have been sold.

Reactivating your tag is a simple process, but it must be done before you reach the border.
