Regulating Foreign-registered Vehicles Used by Work Pass Holders for Commuting and Commercial Purposes in Singapore

Mr Victor Lye asked the Acting Minister for Transport how does the Ministry intend to regulate foreign vehicles used by workers holding valid work passes for commuting to Singapore and which are also used for commercial purposes while in Singapore.

All foreign vehicles entering Singapore, including vehicles used by work pass holders commuting to work, are required to have a valid Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) and pay a daily VEP fee.

Foreign workers employed as deliverymen with valid work passes may use their personal foreign-registered or Singapore-registered motorcycles for their employer's trade and not for platform work. However, foreign-registered goods vehicles are not allowed to be used for delivery services within Singapore.
