Following the Multi-Ministry Taskforce’s announcement on the re-opening of land borders between Singapore and Malaysia, foreign-registered cars and motorcycles will be able to enter Singapore from 2359 hours, 31 March 2022.
2 Those driving foreign-registered vehicles into Singapore must ensure they have a valid Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP). Application of the VEP must be done online via VEP Digital Services on LTA’s OneMotoring website. They will not be allowed to apply for VEP/Autopass cards or update their road tax and motor insurance for their existing Autopass cards at Singapore’s land checkpoints. Instructions for applying for new VEP/ Autopass cards and updating road tax and insurance details for foreign-registered vehicles are as follow:
- To apply for new VEP/Autopass cards (https://onemotoring.lta.gov.sg) > Digital Services > Apply for VEP / Autopass Card; or
- To update the foreign-registered car and motorcycle road tax and motor insurance for existing valid Autopass cards (https://onemotoring.lta.gov.sg) > Digital Services > Update Road Tax and Insurance Validity for VEP (Foreign Cars and Motorcycles).
3 Drivers of foreign-registered vehicles must receive LTA’s VEP approval email before they travel. Those without Autopass cards must collect their Autopass cards at LTA’s Johor Bahru Service Centre (34, Jalan Tun Abdul Razak Susur 1, 80000 Johor Bahru, Johor) before entering Singapore. Those with existing valid VEPs can continue to come across from 2359hrs, 31 March 2022.
4 Those who are unable to present valid Autopass cards together with LTA’s VEP approval emails at Singapore’s checkpoints will be turned back to Malaysia.
5 In anticipation of a significant increase in the volume of VEP applications, LTA will be conducting a system upgrade on its VEP Digital Service on LTA’s OneMotoring website. The expected downtime will be from 24 March 2022 to 30 March 2022. Vehicle owners will be able to access the system from 31 March 2022.
6 Travellers are advised to plan at least two weeks ahead of their intended travel dates to allow sufficient time for VEP application and approval. Due to the expected increase in applications, we seek their understanding that LTA may take a longer time to process VEP applications during this period. Leisure travellers are encouraged to defer their plans to allow those who with essential travel needs, such as for employment or to reunite with their families, to make their trips.
