Driving to Singapore? No SG Arrival Card without valid VEP starting Oct 6

Foreign-registered vehicles traveling to Singapore through Woodlands or Tuas Checkpoint will require a valid Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) starting October 6, 2026, announced the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA). To ensure a smooth entry, travelers should verify their VEP status when submitting their SG Arrival Card (SGAC) at the checkpoints.
If a vehicle lacks a valid VEP, passengers will be unable to complete their SGAC submission and will be required to obtain the permit before their journey. A valid VEP not only grants entry to Singapore but also confirms that the vehicle is insured for the duration of its stay, as valid motor insurance is a prerequisite for obtaining the VEP.
The ICA emphasizes that the system will check the VEP status when the SGAC is submitted and prompt travelers to apply for a VEP if it is not valid, thereby ensuring that all vehicles entering Singapore are adequately insured for any potential road accidents.
