A Singapore Expat's Guide to Applying for the VEP

As an expatriate living in Singapore, you have a gateway to Southeast Asia at your doorstep. One of the best ways to explore is by car, and that means getting a Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) for your Singapore-registered vehicle to enter Malaysia.

The most important thing to know is that your nationality does not change the VEP requirements. The system is based on the car's country of registration, not the driver's passport.

• Your Passport: Use your valid passport from your country of citizenship.
• Your Car's Documents: You will need the LTA log card and a valid Singaporean car insurance policy that includes coverage for Malaysia.

The biggest hurdle for many expats is logistics. Your work might require you to be out of Singapore for extended periods. This makes it difficult to:

• Monitor the application process closely.
• Travel to Johor Bahru to collect and install the tag once it's approved, which must be done within a specific timeframe.

Our service is perfectly designed for busy, travelling professionals and expats. We remove the logistical challenges entirely.

• You can securely provide us with your document copies before you travel.
• We handle the online submission and monitor the approval status for you.

• We then schedule the installation at your home or office in Singapore at a time that is convenient for you upon your return.
