Another week and we are almost halfway through the year.

Early last week, we made a trip to get our Vehicle Entry Permit done. Though it has been in force for a while now, but will be strictly implemented come October for vehicles entering Johor from Singapore.

You need to apply online and once you get the confirmation email, you can book an appointment to fix the VEP tag. You also need to download the Touch n Go mobile wallet app and link it to your Touch n Go card. We booked one location and a day before the appointment, we got an email saying that due to unforeseen circumstances, that location had been closed for the foreseeable future. Luckily I was able to book another location immediately for the next day and it was available.

Once you get there, you drop your documents (which are in the email sent to you) and then wait for your car license plate number to be called. Then you are given a token number and you wait for your token number to be called. At the first counter where your token number is called, they check documents and you can also photocopy any document you forgot to do at a cost of RM 2 per document. Then it’s waiting again for the next counter to call you where they take RM 10 as payment for the VEP.

Then you wait for your car license plate to be called and they fix the tag and check if it works. That’s it! It took us around 45 mins from the time we reached the place till we left. We were around 25 minutes early and they only start at the appointed time. So all in all, it took us around 15-20 minutes.

The rest of the week was very unproductive to me, I am realising that when the children are home, I tend not to do much. Now I am waiting for school to start so I can start on my To- Do list.

Have a lovely week folks!
