Although there are many steps that must be taken to ensure the application of a VEP is successful, it is relatively straightforward. Don’t worry, we have broken it into steps that are easy to follow!
Step 1: Register online
You can register for a VEP at its official VEP website. You will need to enter your personal information and details about the vehicle you plan to drive into Malaysia. While the website is currently inaccessible as of 30 March 2022, it is likely that our Malaysian counterparts are still solidifying the VEP framework in time for the borders’ reopening.
Instead of filling the form up manually, you can easily upload a PDF file of your vehicle’s log card from LTA.
Step 2: Schedule an appointment
After successfully submitting your application, you will receive a confirmation email. You can then make an appointment to have your vehicle’s tag installed at one of the four official centres.
These centres are available:
- Gelang Patah Southbound rest stop
- Plaza Angsana Open Carpark
- Pandan rest stop
- Lima Kedai Toll Plaza
An initial plan was also to establish an additional centre at Kompleks- Sultan Abu Bakar.
The following may be used: Slip of confirmation of your VEP application or a TNG card as a substitute during VEP inspections in the meantime.
Step 3: Prepare the necessary documents
Once you have confirmed your appointment make sure you bring all necessary documents, such as your passport. Slip for VEP confirmation, A written confirmation of your appointment slot will be sent to you A photocopy of your NRIC or passport and the registration documents of your vehicle (you can find them in the official LTA website). Do bring along a copy of your latest insurance cover too, just in case.
After all your documents have been verified, the VEP RFID tag that lasts for five years will be attached to your vehicle. You will need to pay a small fee (RM10) for installation.
