What Happens When Insurance Linked to VEP Expires?

Keeping your VEP valid requires maintaining active insurance coverage

Own a Singapore-registered car with a VEP for Malaysia? Then your insurance policy is more than just protection — it's a core requirement tied directly to your Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) status.

When you apply for a VEP, one of the mandatory documents is a valid motor insurance policy that covers your vehicle in Malaysia. This insurance must be:

  • Valid and active during your VEP application
  • Continuously maintained throughout the VEP's validity
  • Issued by an approved provider covering Malaysian territory

If your insurance expires while your VEP is still active, here's what could happen:

Imagine planning a weekend getaway to JB — only to be stopped at the checkpoint because your insurance expired 2 days ago. Or worse — getting into an accident in Malaysia and realizing your expired policy leaves you completely uncovered.
