VEP for Company Fleets, Leased Cars & Logistics: Your Business Guide

Beyond Personal Cars: VEP for Businesses

While most of the talk about VEP revolves around personal cars, businesses that operate across the Singapore-Malaysia border also need to get their heads around the Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) system. This includes foreign company fleets, vehicles that are leased, and those used for logistics and other commercial purposes. The rules can be a bit more complicated because of how companies are structured and what their specific operational needs are.

VEP for Company-Owned Vehicles

For Singapore-registered vehicles owned by a company, the VEP application needs specific documents to prove the company owns the vehicle and has given permission for it to enter Malaysia. Here are some key things to consider:

• Company Registration Documents: You'll need proof that your business is properly registered in Singapore.
• Authorization Letter: A formal letter from the company giving specific driver(s) permission to operate the vehicle in Malaysia.
• Vehicle Registration: The standard vehicle registration certificate, making sure it's under the company's name.
• Insurance: A valid commercial insurance policy that covers the vehicle for travel in Malaysia.

VEP for Leased Vehicles

VEP for Logistics and Commercial Transport

For vehicles used in logistics, deliveries, or other commercial transport, VEP compliance is just as important. These vehicles often have specific classifications and might need extra permits or licenses depending on what's being transported or the type of commercial activity. While the basic VEP process is similar, businesses should be aware of:

• Commercial Vehicle Classification: Making sure the vehicle is correctly classified for VEP purposes.
• Additional Permits: Checking if any other cross-border commercial permits are needed along with the VEP.
• Driver Compliance: Ensuring all drivers operating these vehicles have valid VEPs linked to their specific vehicles.
