VEP Enforcement at the Causeway

Why VEP Enforcement Matters Now

The VEP, regulated by the Malaysian Road Transport Department (JPJ), is mandatory for all foreign-registered vehicles entering Malaysia. Enforcement at major borders like the Causeway is now robust and digitally powered:

• Real-time RFID scans of your vehicle
• VEP status checks at customs on arrival and exit
• Random inspections by enforcement officers
• Spot verification using the MySikap system
• Being turned away at the border
• Receiving costly fines/compounds
• Manual vehicle inspection delays
• Penalties for expired, fake, or incomplete VEP documents
