The Ultimate VEP Checklist for First-Time Singapore Drivers

Driving to Malaysia for the first time? Welcome! This checklist will make the VEP process painless.

The idea of driving into Malaysia is exciting, but the Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) process can seem confusing for first-timers. What documents do you need? Where do you apply? How do you get the RFID tag? It’s a lot to take in.

Before you even think about applying, get your documents in order. Mismatched information is the #1 reason for VEP application rejection.

  • Vehicle Log Card: Your car's official registration document from LTA.
  • Car Insurance Certificate: Ensure it provides coverage in Malaysia.
  • Owner's Passport/ID: The details must match the vehicle owner's name on the log card exactly.

You have two paths here: the DIY route or the stress-free MyMechanic way.

Once approved, you need the physical VEP RFID tag. If you go the DIY route, you’ll need to book an appointment and travel to a collection center in Johor Bahru.

Your VEP RFID tag is also your payment method for tolls. For it to work, you must link it to a Touch 'n Go eWallet. We provide simple, clear instructions to help you complete this final, crucial step.
