VEP for Singapore Cars During Long-Term Leasing Agreements

Why VEP is Still Mandatory for Leased Vehicles

Malaysia’s Road Transport Department (JPJ) requires all foreign vehicles, including leased cars, to have a valid VEP. This rule applies whether you are leasing from a corporate provider, renting under a private contract, or driving a company car. Without a VEP, you risk being denied entry.

Challenges with Long-Term Leasing and VEP

• Ownership Mismatch: The VEP system requires proof of ownership. For leased cars, you’ll need authorisation documents from the registered owner.
• Insurance Alignment: The insurance policy must list you (the lessee) as an authorised driver and cover Malaysia.
• Document Validity: Leasing contracts and insurance coverage dates must align with the VEP validity period.
• Renewals & Transfers: If your lease is extended, your VEP may also need an update to match new contract dates.

Documents Needed for VEP on a Leased Singapore Car

• Lease agreement stating your name and usage rights
• Vehicle registration details
• Authorisation letter from the leasing company
• Valid insurance covering Malaysia and naming you as a driver
• Your identification (passport/NRIC)
