LTA Aims to Reduce VEP Processing Time to Three Weeks Amidst Application Surge

The Singapore Land Transport Authority (LTA) is implementing measures to significantly shorten the processing time for Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) applications, aiming to reduce it from the current seven weeks down to three weeks. This initiative comes in response to a substantial increase in applications following the reopening of land borders on April 1, 2022. As of April 18, the LTA had received approximately 120,000 VEP applications.
Increased Resources Allocated to Application Processing

The LTA has announced that it has ramped up its resources to manage the heightened volume of VEP applications. This increased capacity is the primary driver behind the expected reduction in processing times. While the exact nature of these "additional resourcing" is not detailed, the authority is committed to progressively shortening the turnaround from the previous seven weeks.
Significant Number of Applications Processed Ahead of Schedule

Since the application window opened on March 31, 2022, the LTA has already processed approximately 50,000 applications, representing about 40 per cent of the total received. A notable aspect of this processing is that a substantial portion of these applicants have received outcomes earlier than the initially stated processing times at the point of their application. The LTA has assured all remaining applicants that their applications will be processed within the new target of three weeks.
Application Process and Requirements for Foreign Drivers

Applications for the VEP must be submitted online through the VEP Digital Services portal on the LTA's OneMotoring website, and cannot be completed at Singapore's land checkpoints. Essential documents required for the application include an Identity Card or Passport, Immigration Pass Card, Vehicle Registration Certificate, Vehicle Certificate of Insurance, and Vehicle Road Tax Disc. Drivers of foreign-registered vehicles are mandated to possess the LTA's VEP approval email and a valid Autopass card before entering Singapore. Those who do not already have an Autopass card can obtain one at the LTA’s Johor Baru Service Centre after receiving their VEP approval email.
