Kenderaan asing masuk Singapura wajib ada VEP sah mulai 6 okt

Starting from October 6, all foreign-registered vehicles entering Singapore via land checkpoints at Woodlands or Tuas must possess a valid Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP), according to Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA). The ICA clarified that motorists entering Singapore through Woodlands or Tuas checkpoints must ensure their vehicles have a valid VEP before surrendering their Singapore Arrival Card (SGAC).

The system will verify the VEP status of the registered vehicle when the SGAC is submitted, and will alert the driver and passengers if the vehicle lacks a valid VEP. If a vehicle does not have a valid VEP, the driver will not be allowed to complete their SGAC submission. They will be asked to obtain a VEP before traveling to Singapore.

The ICA stated that a valid VEP also ensures the vehicle has the necessary motor insurance coverage, as a valid motor insurance during the vehicle's stay in Singapore is a requirement for obtaining a VEP. "Early VEP confirmation allows the driver to ensure that the vehicle being imported has adequate insurance coverage in case of an accident on the road," the ICA explained, noting that a VEP cannot be issued without valid motor insurance.
