Enjoy spontaneous drives across the Causeway for a taste of Malaysia’s delicious food or a quick weekend getaway? If you are one of the many who do, here’s something important to note: from 1 July 2025, Malaysia will begin full enforcement of the Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) scheme for foreign-registered vehicles entering Malaysia from Singapore by land.

Not sure if you have everything ready for the trip across the Causeway? Don’t worry, we will walk you through what you need and make sure your car is VEP-ready, so your next trip stays hassle-free!

How to get your VEP — it’s easier than you think!

To get your VEP, hop online to the Road Transport Department of Malaysia’s website and start application.

You’ll just need a few basics handy: your NRIC or passport, vehicle road tax, insurance details, your car model information and your Certificate of Entitlement (COE). If you do not have your vehicle log card yet, you can obtain it from Singapore’s OneMotoring website.

Once you have completed your application, keep an eye on your inbox for a confirmation email — then you are all set to plan your next Malaysia road trip without a hitch!

RFID tag

The VEP-RFID tag is a small, unique sticker that attaches to your vehicle’s headlamp. It allows you to pay road charges when entering Malaysia, as well as toll fees on Malaysia expressways. There is a one-time processing fee of MYR10, and the tag is valid for five years.

You can choose to pick up your tag at designated VEP counters or have it delivered straight to your home. Delivery to Singapore incurs a service fee of MYR30 and a postage fee of MYR15, with applicable sales and service taxes.

Touch ‘n Go eWallet: Your digital key to smooth cross-border travel

If you love hopping over the Causeway for tasty Malaysian food, errands or quick getaways, the Touch ‘n Go (TNG) eWallet is your perfect travel companion. This all-in-one eWallet is widely used in Malaysia for tolls, parking, car washes and QR payments at your favourite shops.

More importantly, you will need the TNG eWallet for your VEP-RFID tag to work. Download and top up your TNG eWallet before your drive into Malaysia to ensure a smooth experience. Enjoy better SGD to MYR exchange rates and real-time transfers when you top up your TNG eWallet with Singtel Dash.
