Starting July 1, 2025, Malaysia will begin full enforcement of the Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) for all Singapore-registered vehicles entering the country through the Johor Causeway or Second Link. Any foreign vehicle without a valid VEP will face an immediate RM300 fine, as stated under Section 66H(7) of the Road Transport Act 1987 (Act 333).

All foreign vehicles must register online, pay RM10 for a non-transferable RFID VEP tag (which is valid for 5 years), and pay RM20 Road Charge for each entry into Malaysia. If the VEP tag is not activated, the vehicle may be stopped from leaving Malaysia until the fine is paid and the tag is activated.



For private vehicle owners who have only completed pre-registration, a summons will be issued, and the car cannot leave Malaysia until payment is made. For company-owned vehicles, a notice will be issued if pre-registration has been done, while those that haven’t registered will receive a compound fine.

All fines must be paid using cashless methods at JPJ counters, JPJ mobile trucks, or via online platforms such as MyEG.



Since October 2024, reminder notices have been sent to Singaporean vehicle owners who haven’t registered for the VEP. As of June 2, 2025, a total of 231,018 VEP tags have been issued, but only 194,507 have been activated. Between October 1, 2024, and May 31, 2025, 52,012 vehicles were checked, and 2,245 reminder letters were issued to those who had not completed activation.

The VEP system was first introduced in 2014 but was delayed three times – in 2017, 2019, and 2020.
