How to Use VEP for Hassle-Free Family Road Trips During School Holidays

Planning a family getaway? A valid VEP is the first step to a memorable and stress-free road trip.

The school holidays are the perfect time for a family adventure in Malaysia. From theme parks in Johor to the beaches of Desaru, a road trip offers flexibility and fun for everyone. But traveling with kids comes with its own challenges, and the last thing you want is a problem at the border.

The school holidays are the busiest travel period. Don't wait until the last minute to check your VEP. Is it active? Is your insurance information up to date? Is your RFID tag working?

  • Avoid the Rush: VEP processing times can slow down during peak periods. Get it sorted weeks before your trip.
  • Prevent Disappointment: There’s nothing worse than telling your kids the holiday is on hold because of a VEP issue. A quick check can save the day.

Beating the Jam

  • Travel Off-Peak: If possible, travel on a weekday or avoid the Friday evening and Saturday morning rush.
  • Go Early or Late: Crossing the border before 6 AM or after 10 PM can make a huge difference in waiting times.

A little preparation goes a long way. Keep all essential documents in an easily accessible folder. This includes passports, your VEP confirmation email, and car insurance details.

All the planning in the world means nothing if your car can't enter Malaysia. Your Vehicle Entry Permit is the non-negotiable first step. Any issue with it can bring your holiday to a screeching halt right at the border.
