A Complete VEP Guide for Singapore-Based Expatriates

Driving your Singapore car to Malaysia is easy, no matter your nationality. Here's what you need to know.

Living as an expat in Singapore is an amazing opportunity to explore Southeast Asia, and one of the best parts is being able to just hop in your own car for a weekend trip to Malaysia.

So, who can actually apply for a VEP? The main rule is super simple: if you legally own a car that's registered in Singapore, you're in. This includes:

  • Singapore PRs
  • Employment Pass (EP) holders

Getting your paperwork in order is the most important part of the whole process, and we can help you get it all ready. You'll need three main things:
