Expats in Singapore driving to Malaysia? Learn everything about Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) registration, RFID tag installation, and how MyMechanic makes it easy for foreigners.
What Is a VEP and Why Do Expats Need It?
The Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) is required by the Malaysian government for all foreign-registered vehicles entering Malaysia. This includes Singapore-registered cars driven by expats and foreigners—even temporary residents. The VEP links your car to an RFID tag scanned at the border, ensuring compliance and safer cross-border roads.
