Foreign-registered vehicles can now register for VEP for entry into Malaysia

As reported in The Straits Times, Malaysia's Transport Ministry announced in a statement on Saturday that registration for the Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) for foreign-registered vehicles to enter Malaysia can now be done online via its website at vep.jpj.gov.my.

For registration, the owner or representative duly appointed by the owner of the foreign-registered vehicle will have to provide information including their personal and car registration details.

Affected categories include private (vehicles owned by individuals, companies or organisations for private usage), commercial (vehicles owned by companies and used to transport goods or persons for hire), and VIP or Diplomat (vehicles owned by governments, consulates or embassies).

After successful registration, the owner will be advised on the collection of an RFID tag that is to be displayed on the vehicle's windshield, at designated Road Transport Department (JPJ) premises. There will be an administration fee of RM10 (S$3.45) imposed during tag collection, and the VEP is renewable every five years.

The VEP is implemented by the Transport Ministry. It will initially involve foreign-registered vehicles entering Malaysia via Johor, and later on implemented in stages at the other 12 road entry points into Malaysia.
