Using VEP for Medical Tourism: Driving to Johor for Healthcare

But all this convenience depends on one thing — being allowed to legally enter Malaysia with your car. That’s where the VEP comes in.

• Affordable treatment: Cost savings of up to 60% for common procedures.
• Quality care: Well-established hospitals like KPJ, Gleneagles, and Columbia Asia are just across the Causeway.
• Faster appointments: Shorter waiting times compared to Singapore.
• Medical tourism packages: Many clinics even bundle accommodation and transport.

The VEP (Vehicle Entry Permit) is a mandatory electronic permit for all foreign-registered vehicles entering Malaysia. It’s especially important if you’re:

• Visiting multiple times for follow-ups
• Escorting elderly or family members for treatment
• Driving in a private car, not public transport
