A straightforward guide to keeping your car legal while it's parked across the Causeway for the long haul.
It's more common than you think! Many Singaporeans park their cars in Malaysia for extended periods. You might be working there, traveling frequently, or simply want to dodge Singapore's steep parking fees. It’s a convenient option, but it’s easy to get tangled in VEP rules if you're not paying attention.
Your VEP might be valid for up to five years, but don't be mistaken—that doesn't give you a five-year pass to leave your car in Malaysia untouched. To keep the VEP active, you have to drive the car out of the country every so often. If you skip this crucial step, you could be looking at hefty fines, getting blacklisted, and a whole lot of bureaucratic headaches.
