The announcement comes amid complaints in Singapore of delays and snags in the application process, and just three days ahead of the VEP requirement being implemented.
"From Oct 1, 2024, the VEP enforcement will be implemented in phases. All Singapore-registered vehicles without a VEP may still enter Malaysia as usual," JPJ director-general Aedy Fadly Ramli said in a statement on Sept 27.
However, vehicle-owners entering Malaysia may receive reminders at the Bangunan Sultan Iskandar Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (CIQ) Complex in Johor Bahru and Sultan Abu Bakar CIQ Complex at the Second Link to immediately register, install and activate their VEP and radio frequency identification (RFID) tags.
They will also be issued warnings on exiting Malaysia, if the tags are not installed.
