It’s a well-known truth that life is full of uncertainties — uncertainty about whether the price of your favourite chicken rice is going to increase, uncertainty about whether your girlfriend is going to break up with you, and now, uncertainty about how exactly Malaysia’s Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) works.
But unlike the price of your favourite chicken rice and your girlfriend’s inclinations, you can make sure you won’t be caught off-guard by Malaysia’s VEP. An information counter about Malaysia’s VEP will be opened in Woodlands soon so that you can find out all you need to know about the VEP.
TLDR: What is the Malaysia VEP?
Huh, VEP is simi? Can eat one?
If you’ve yet to hear about Malaysia’s VEP, fret not — Goody Feed’s got your back.
As the term “Vehicle Entry Permit” itself suggests, a VEP is a permit for vehicles to enter Malaysia. More specifically, from 1 October onwards, all foreign-registered vehicles entering Malaysia by land must have a VEP.
If not, you should cancel your JB trip lah. All foreign-registered vehicles entering or in Malaysia without a VEP from 1 October onwards will be fined up to RM2,000 or jailed for up to six months upon conviction.
Information Counter About Malaysia’s VEP to be Opened in Woodlands
Now, you might be thinking: “Can I apply for a VEP there now? How do I register for a VEP? Must I pay?”
Well, if online searches don’t yield any answers, all you need to do is head to Woodlands. An information counter about Malaysia’s VEP will be opened in Woodlands within the next two weeks to help confused Singapore drivers with all their questions about the VEP.
The information counter is a collaboration between TCSens, the vendor company appointed by Malaysia’s Road Transport Department (JPJ), and an undisclosed Singapore firm.
We’re sure the Reddit dwellers will find out which Singapore firm it is soon lah.
The VEP Application Process
The information counter was set up in response to enquiries from Singaporean drivers about Malaysia’s VEP. Many Singaporean drivers, in true kiasu fashion, had headed down to the TCSens office in JB to ask about the VEP, with Malaysia receiving nearly 60,000 applications for the VEP as of 31 July (albeit, with nearly half of the applications being incomplete).
Wah, macam hunger games for VEP sia.
Since the Woodlands information counter will only be opening in two weeks, here’s some information you should know about the VEP application process first, to avoid the mistakes of those who have already tried applying for the VEP and failed.
To apply for Malaysia’s VEP, you need three key documents — your vehicle insurance certificate, a copy of your identification card and your certificate of entitlement (COE).
Once your application for the VEP is accepted, you’ll receive a VEP tag that you must stick on your vehicle. If you receive the VEP tag via post, you’ll have to activate the tag within seven days.
If you fail to do so, the tag will expire and you’ll have to reactivate it.
And as always, you can watch this video to find out more about Malaysia’s VEP:
You can also find out more at the JPJ website on Malaysia’s VEP here.
Any other questions you might have about Malaysia’s VEP, you can take them to the Woodlands information counter when it opens lah.
