Stricter Border Enforcement & Exit Barriers (July 2025)

New VEP Compliance Rules for Malaysia Crossings - Stay Informed

What's New in Border Enforcement from July 2025?

From July 2025, Malaysia has rolled out stricter border checks and automated exit barriers for all foreign vehicles, especially those using the Causeway and Second Link. These changes aim to ensure that every vehicle entering and leaving Malaysia has a valid, active Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) and RFID tag.

Key changes include:

Strict exit controls: Vehicles without a valid and activated VEP tag may be barred from exiting Malaysia until all fines and compliance issues are resolved.
Instant e-fines: Immediate electronic penalties for missing, expired, or unactivated VEP RFID tags.
Enhanced screening: Expect more frequent document and permit checks at borders.
Automated barriers: Exit gates now fully integrated with VEP/RFID verification systems.
Real-time alerts: Enforcement notifications sent immediately via email/SMS.

Why This Enforcement Matters

Legal Requirement

You must have a valid VEP and active RFID tag before crossing in or out of Malaysia or risk fines and delays.

No Manual Overrides

Unlike before, border officers cannot bypass digital exit barriers for non-compliant vehicles.

Efficient Clearance

The system speeds up processing for compliant drivers while making exit impossible for those without proper documents.
