All Singapore-registered vehicles need to have a VEP in order to enter Malaysia. This comes with a VEP-RFID tag that can then be tagged to your Touch ‘n Go eWallet, which then enables you to pay for the road charge into Malaysia as well as highway tolls.
A VEP is compulsory and not having it could result in a RM150 fine, so make sure you apply for one before driving in! Here’s how.
1. Register online
You can register for a VEP at its official VEP website.
Register a profile online using your email address and fill in your personal details as well as vehicle information. You will receive a confirmation email after successfully opening a VEP account.
Make sure you use an email address that you’ll have continued access to as you won’t be able to change it in future. You will also have to use the one VEP account for all future vehicle registrations, so don’t forget your account details!
2. Apply for Touch ‘n Go eWallet
While waiting for your confirmation email, download the Touch ‘n Go eWallet app and set up an account. This will be linked to your VEP-RFID tag and you’ll need it for the next step. You will need an ID to register for an account. For Singaporeans, do choose NRIC as your ID type so that the information syncs up with your VEP profile.
3. Submit the required documents
Upon receiving your confirmation email, follow the link within to complete your VEP registration. At this point, you will have to submit your Touch ‘n Go eWallet details as well as documents such as your COE, NRIC, car insurance, and authorisation letter. You will receive an email when your application has been approved.
4. Collect and install your VEP-RFID tag
With your application approved, you now have two options to collect your VEP-RFID tag – either through post to your address in Singapore, or self-collection in Malaysia.
If you choose the latter, you’ll have to make an appointment beforehand and head down with the appointment slip and VEP approval to collect the tag. You can also use these documents and a physical Touch ‘n Go card to enter Malaysia in the meantime.
