VEP for Singapore Cars with Foreign Number Plates (UK, Australia & Other Expat Vehicles)

If you're an expat living in Singapore and driving a vehicle with a foreign number plate — like one from the UK, Australia, or another country — you'll need to register for the Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) before entering Malaysia. Whether you're here short-term or permanently settled, VEP is a must for road access in Malaysia.

Yes, you can — but there are a few important things to consider:

• Your foreign car must be legally registered in your home country (e.g., UK, Australia).
• You must provide valid documentation like ownership papers, insurance, passport, and proof of residency (e.g., Singapore EP/PR).
• The vehicle must meet Malaysian road compliance standards.
