Shorter VEP Operating Hours For June School
Holidays
In conjunction with the upcoming June school holidays, the Vehicle
Entry Permit (VEP) operating hours will end earlier at 12.00 noon
on weekdays, from Monday, 28 May 2007 to Friday, 22 June
2007.
This is part of the ongoing initiatives to attract foreign visitors
to Singapore, especially during the school holidays. The shorter
VEP operating hours will also apply for subsequent June and
December school holiday periods in Singapore.
About the VEP scheme
The VEP Scheme was introduced to regulate the entry of
foreign-registered cars and motorcycles into Singapore. Currently,
foreign-registered cars and motorcycles are allowed free entry into
Singapore on weekdays from 5.00pm to 2.00am the following day, and
all day on Saturdays, Sundays and Singapore Public Holidays.
In addition, under the 10-VEP free days scheme, drivers of
foreign-registered cars and motorcycles can drive into Singapore
without paying any VEP fees for a maximum of 10 days per calendar
year.
VEP fees for the subsequent days are chargeable if drivers of
foreign-registered cars and motorcycles continue to use or drive
their vehicles in Singapore during VEP operating hours, after they
have fully utilised the 10 VEP-free days within the same calendar
year. The existing VEP fee is S$20 a day for cars and S$4 a day for
motorcycles. The normal toll charges for foreign-registered
vehicles will also apply.
