Kenderaan asing masuk Singapura wajib ada VEP sah mulai 6 okt

Starting from October 6, all foreign-registered vehicles entering Singapore through the land checkpoints at Woodlands or Tuas will be required to possess a valid Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP), according to the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA). The ICA explained that travelers arriving in Singapore by car at the Woodlands or Tuas checkpoints must ensure their vehicles have a valid VEP before handing over the Singapore Arrival Card (SGAC).

The ICA stated that the system will verify the vehicle's VEP status when the SGAC is surrendered, and will warn the driver and passengers if the vehicle does not have a valid VEP. "If a vehicle does not have a valid VEP, the traveler will not be able to complete their SGAC surrender," the ICA said in a Facebook post. According to the ICA, a valid VEP also ensures that the vehicle has the required motor insurance coverage, as a valid motor insurance is a prerequisite for obtaining a VEP.

"Early VEP confirmation allows travelers to ensure before commencing their journey that the hired vehicle has adequate insurance coverage in case of an accident," the ICA explained. The ICA emphasized that a VEP cannot be issued without motor insurance.
