From Oct 1, all foreign-registered vehicles entering the country by land from Singapore are required to be fitted with radio frequency identification tags. Here are the steps to install one.
After putting in your details, including a login identity and password, you will receive confirmation via email and be directed to the VEP portal at Once the application is approved, you will receive an email notification to choose your method of collecting the VEP RFID tag – either couriered by post to your address, or self-collection at a VEP collection centre in Johor Bahru.
The RFID tag can be attached either to the top left corner of the windscreen or the left headlamp. It must be fitted at least 5 centimetres away from any metal part of the car body. It is worth noting that foreign vehicles are allowed to stay within Malaysia for up to 90 days each time.
