QUOTE(abb123 @ Aug 14 2011, 01:03 PM) this... corrected. if you not sure, pls refrain from posting. it confuses him.just tell the officer at immigration u first time enter. they will ask u to go to red lane and register autopass. just keep asking. dont shy autopass allow u enter sgpore 10 times without hv to pay make sure u check u car thoroughly for any illegal stuff also b4 u enter checkpoint (weapon, etc.) VEP = Vehicle Entry Permit This post has been edited by Mackiddo: Aug 14 2011, 01:07 PM |

QUOTE(Lester1987 @ Aug 14 2011, 12:51 PM) semua bagi wrong info kat sini.... kalau tak tau, jangan la mislead orang. thankz man kalau nak bawa Msia car masuk SG, masuk saja macam biasa. 1st clearance is immigration clearance (aka chop passport). after you chop your passport, proceed to the LTA lane to purchase a Autopass. The LTA office is located after your immigration clearance and before the customs clearance. Autopass is a card that carry your car's registration plate, or you can call it your car's IC when it is in SG. It also serve as your Cash Card (we call it Touch N Go, they call it Cash Card) to pay your entry for car park, toll, etc etc. The card is $10 when you purchase it. It contain $4 value in it. (I wonder which fellow actually said 60 just now 1 more thing, EZlink card is the card you use to take MRT. Autopass cannot serve as a EZlink card. EZLink card cannot serve as a autopass as well. Please dont get confuse by this. |

for 1st timer, the procedur is
1: prepare passport, s$ and touch and go since No ringgit accepted. 2: malaysia custom 3: singapore custom: got 2 stage (a), check passport, (b) do autopass. It is before the ramp. In between two building. Make sure u dont miss it. U can see got place can park car on ur left. There are police stand there. ITS BEFORE THE RAMP REMEMBER THIS>. BETWEEN TWO BUILDING. © after auto pass, u drive onto the ramp, u will see police "car checking" Then, tats all. Prepare for traffic jam kau kau. Added on August 14, 2011, 1:33 pmREMEMBER, SG is mostly reverse parking. Added on August 14, 2011, 1:36 pmSingapore expenses U have 9 days free entry to sg, u just need to pay s$5 and s$1.2. Tat is deducted from ur autopass. U only can reload it at 7eleven. zzz Parking is sg is dependent. U need autopass to enter a car park. It will auto deduct from ur auto pass. SO AUTOPASS is similar to touch and go in msia. This post has been edited by Dennos: Aug 14 2011, 01:36 PM |

SO AUTOPASS is similar to touch and go in msia. Foreign cars will get 10 days free VEP. actually, if you don't go in and out Singapore often, you don't need to worry about that. Just a brief info about what VEP is. VEP (Vehicle Entry Permit). -VEP is a way that Singapore gov control the traffic in Singapore to prevent Malaysian working in Singapore drive their car into SG in and out daily. -VEP is only charged on the following hours. 2am-5pm, Monday-Friday. -If you enter Singapore on saturday or friday night, no VEP will be charge. Sat and Sun afternoon is VEP free as well (they want us to spend money there also ma). -so lets put it this way, because u got 10 free VEP days, if u continuously stay in SG for 2 weeks, u won't be charged for it. -but if you exceeded the free VEP days, nothing wrong with that, SG gov still allows you to enter SG with ur car. Just need to pay $20 per day if u enter during the VEP period. Toll charges at the Causeway. If you are entering with Woodlands Causeway, upon entering to Singapore, you don't need to pay anything, (just remember to purchase the Autopass, then its ok). But when you depart from Woodlands, You will be charged $1.20 (Singapore toll) and RM2.90 (Malaysia Toll). Payment can only me made with your autopass, make sure you have sufficient money in the card when you leave. Malaysia Side the toll is only payable with Touch N Go. If you plan to enter with 2nd link, Toll is RM7.50 Malaysia Side and $3.20 Singapore side. Singapore side will only charge you when you leave the country. So if your card got no $$, you can enter, but you can't exit if you got no $$ in the card. If you got no $$ in the card, you will need to proceed to the LTA office and pay them the $3.20 in cash + a $10 admin fees. |

in near future my work would require driving car into Singapore once a month, company advise to drive into singapore daytime and stay at JB hotel at night. The next day drive back to singapore again
1) The free VEP 10 days. Once use up, we have to start paying $20 per day? Or they will gave you 10 days VEP free each month? 2) Do hotel in Singapore provide free parking? If need to pay, normally 10hrs charge how much? 3) A noob question, do we need international driving license to drive into Singapore? Or our Malaysian driving license will do? Wondering whether SGD 150 can get a decent hotel or not... far a bit also nevermind since got car. |

If its multi storey parking you have to pay use your autopass. Normally residential area use the parking coupon. 3)Don't need all. Your malaysia license is good and about the hotel i'm not sure never stayed in SG always come back to JB. |

It depends on the hotel you choose, but most likely all the hotel there is no free parking provided. 3. Malaysia License will do if you were driving malaysia car. Even SGD 100 u can get a hotel in Singapore.. |

Would anyone correct this? "for working permit holder which would like to drive malaysia car to singapore"
1. Free VEP 10 days ( i got 1 fact from my fren which drive in and 1 fact from LTA, which is true??) - my fren drive in SIngapore and park his car for few days almost every month. He told me every car entitle for this VEP 10 days free yearly but not sure how they calculate this 10 days VEP free, as in after 12 months only u entitle 10 days free or every new year u are entitle for 10 free VEP days. -i have called LTA personally and LTA inform me that if u are a work permit holder, there is no 10 days free VEP. VEP 10 days free is only available for tourist not workers. 2. $20 for VEP a days only applicable for 18 hours?? - I did the same thing as above, called LTA SG but they tell me that even if u pay $20 for VEP, as a work permit holder you could only drive in for 18 hours per day. Can any work permit holder here correct me and provide me a correct answer?? |
