New to Singapore? VEP Tips for a Smooth Drive to Malaysia

Welcome to Singapore! Ready for a Road Trip?

Congratulations on your move to Singapore! Now that you're settling in, you're probably excited to explore the amazing sights and food in Malaysia. But before you head for the highway, there's one important thing you need to do: get your Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP).

We know that applying for a VEP can feel like one more thing on your long to-do list. That's why we're here to help. At MyMechanic, we make the VEP process simple and stress-free, so you can focus on enjoying your new home and planning your first road trip.

Why Every New Car Owner in Singapore Needs a VEP

It doesn't matter if your car is brand new or you've had it for years—as soon as it's registered in Singapore, you need a VEP to drive it into Malaysia. This isn't just about paperwork; it's how the Malaysian authorities keep track of foreign cars and make sure everyone is safe on the road.

Thinking about skipping the VEP? It's not worth the risk. You could face big fines, be turned away at the border, or even get your car blacklisted from entering Malaysia again. It's a must-have for every Singaporean car, so make sure you get it sorted out.

Tips for a Hassle-Free VEP Application

Finish Your Singapore Car Registration First

Before you apply for a VEP, make sure your car is fully registered in Singapore. Have your Vehicle Log Card and other documents ready to go. Any missing paperwork can slow down your VEP application, so it's best to have everything in order.

Get Car Insurance That Covers Malaysia

This is a must-do. Your car insurance needs to be active and cover driving in Malaysia. Double-check with your insurance company to make sure you have the right coverage. It's better to be safe than sorry.

Double-Check Your Personal and Vehicle Info

When you're filling out the VEP application, be extra careful with the details. Make sure everything matches your ID and car registration documents perfectly. Even a small mistake can cause delays, so it's worth taking the time to get it right.

Schedule Your RFID Tag Installation

After your VEP is approved, you'll need to get an RFID tag installed. You'll have to make an appointment at a VEP center in Malaysia, so plan for travel and waiting time. A little planning now can save you a lot of hassle later.
