VEP for Singapore Riders Doing Cross-Border Deliveries to Malaysia

Are you a Singapore-based food delivery rider making frequent cross-border trips to Malaysia? Here’s how VEP works and how MyMechanic helps with the process.

Cross-Border Food Deliveries? Here’s What You Need to Know About VEP

With the rise of food and parcel delivery platforms, many Singapore-based riders are venturing into Malaysia to complete cross-border delivery jobs. Whether you’re delivering food, groceries, or urgent items to Johor Bahru and beyond, one thing is essential before crossing the border with your motorcycle or car — the Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP).

At MyMechanic, we understand the challenges food delivery riders face when juggling deadlines, customer expectations, and regulations. That's why we offer fast and reliable VEP application services specifically catered to high-frequency riders.

Why You Need a VEP for Cross-Border Deliveries

The Malaysian government requires all foreign vehicles entering the country to be registered under the VEP system. This includes motorcycles and cars used for commercial or personal purposes — and yes, even if you're just zipping into JB for a 30-minute delivery job.

Failing to register or renew your VEP can result in fines, delays at the checkpoint, or being turned away entirely. With the RFID-based system now linked to tolls and enforcement, your vehicle must be properly tagged and registered before entering.

Common Issues Faced by Delivery Riders

  • Confusion between personal and commercial vehicle classifications
  • Delayed RFID tag activation
  • Incorrect vehicle details leading to rejection
  • Missed VEP renewals
  • Fines due to unregistered entries

We’ve helped many riders sort these problems out quickly, so they can get back on the road and keep earning.

Tips for Riders Doing Deliveries into Malaysia

  • Apply early — don’t wait until your next job!
  • Keep a copy of your VEP confirmation in your vehicle
  • Double-check your insurance covers cross-border work
  • Ensure your RFID tag is working before you reach the checkpoint
  • Don’t risk using someone else’s VEP — each vehicle must be registered properly
