How Singapore's COE Rules Affect Your VEP Eligibility

The COE is a huge deal for car owners in Singapore, basically deciding how long your car can legally stay on the road. And as those COE rules change, and you start thinking about renewing, it actually has a direct impact on your car's VEP status for Malaysia.

Here's the simple truth: your VEP basically just follows your car's legal status in Singapore. If your car isn't good to go here, it's not good to go in Malaysia either. The main things they look at are:

• A valid COE. Your car needs to have a current COE to be legal on the road, and that's what makes it eligible for a VEP.
• Valid Road Tax and Insurance. These need to be active and cover you for the entire time you plan to be in Malaysia.
