The “One-Bag” Border Kit: Your Pouch for Smooth VEP Crossings

Stay organized and stress-free at the checkpoint with this essential checklist.

We’ve all been there: you pull up to the immigration counter, and suddenly you’re frantically searching the glove compartment, your wallet, and your bag for your passport or a specific document. It’s a stressful start to what should be a pleasant trip.

The Absolute Essentials

  • Passports: The non-negotiable item for every person in the car.
  • Touch 'n Go Card: Ensure it has sufficient balance (we recommend at least RM50 for a short trip).
  • Driving License: Your physical Singapore driving license.
  • Digital VEP Confirmation: A PDF or screenshot of your VEP registration confirmation slip saved on your phone.
  • Digital Insurance Certificate: Your car's insurance policy that shows coverage in Malaysia.

The Smart Extras

  • A Pen: You never know when you might need to fill out a form.
  • Cash (Malaysian Ringgit): A small amount (e.g., RM 50-100) for emergencies or places that don't accept cards.
  • Phone Power Bank: Critical for keeping your digital documents accessible.
  • MyMechanic's Contact: Save our 24/7 helpline number in your phone for any VEP or roadside emergencies.
