Avoiding Holiday Border Delays: VEP Tips for Peak Periods

Public holidays and long weekends are some of the busiest times for the Singapore–Malaysia border. During these peak periods, crossing delays can stretch for hours, especially if your Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) isn’t in order.

1. Check Your VEP Status Early

Application is approved
RFID tag is active and linked to your vehicle
Records are updated with the latest plate number and COE validity

2. Inspect Your RFID Tag

The tag is clean and firmly attached
It’s placed exactly where required by the installation guide
It hasn’t faded or peeled off

4. Travel During Off-Peak Hours

Early in the morning
Late at night
On weekdays before the holiday rush

5. Carry Backup Documents

VEP approval email
COE document
Vehicle registration card
