VEP for Temporary Vehicle Imports Into Malaysia

Smooth Entry for Short-Term Trips — MyMechanic Makes It Easy

Introduction

If you're planning to bring your car into Malaysia temporarily—whether it's for a quick getaway, business visit, or a special event—you'll need a valid Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP). Many drivers mistakenly believe VEP is only for long-term vehicle use, but the truth is:

What Is Considered a Temporary Vehicle Import?

If you're not registering your car permanently in Malaysia, and you're bringing it in for:

Holidays or family trips
Work-related short stays
Motorsport events or exhibitions
✅ A valid VEP registered under your name
✅ An installed RFID tag linked to that VEP

How to Apply for VEP for Temporary Imports

1️⃣ Register Your Vehicle Online

Vehicle registration papers
Valid insurance for Malaysia
Owner identification

2️⃣ Wait for Approval

3️⃣ Install the RFID Tag

4️⃣ Travel Within Validity Period

Why It's Important to Comply

Skipping VEP registration, even for a quick trip, can lead to:

Entry denial at Malaysian border checkpoints
Heavy fines or penalties under JPJ regulations
Delays and inconvenience if your vehicle gets pulled aside for inspection
