Over $639k in outstanding fines recovered from foreign motorists at land checkpoints

More than $639,000 in unpaid fines were recovered from 265 foreign motorists during a multi-agency operation led by the Traffic Police from 28 to 30 September 2026.

Police said in a joint news release on Thursday (Oct 8) that the operation was supported by officers from the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA), Housing and Development Board, Land Transport Authority (LTA), National Environment Agency, and the Urban Redevelopment Authority.

During the operation, a total of 265 foreign motorists with outstanding fines were stopped and directed to settle their fines for vehicular and traffic offences when they entered Singapore through Woodlands and Tuas Checkpoints.

In their statement, the agencies highlighted that Singapore takes a serious view of foreign motorists who have committed offences in Singapore, and do not settle their fines.

"Singapore authorities regularly conduct operations against such motorists, and those with outstanding fines for traffic, parking, or vehicular emissions offences may be denied entry into Singapore."

They also reminded motorists to abide by Singapore laws such as adhering to stipulated speed limits, obeying traffic signals, paying ERP and parking charges, and not parking illegally.

No entry for vehicles with outstanding fines

From Nov 2, foreign-registered vehicles with outstanding fines for traffic, parking or vehicular emissions offences committed in Singapore will not be able to apply for or renew their Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) with LTA.

Under the prevailing practice, foreign-registered vehicles with outstanding fines may be denied entry only when they arrive at land checkpoints.

As all foreign-registered vehicles are required to have a valid VEP to enter Singapore, those without the permit will be turned back to Malaysia.

Since Oct 6, all foreign-registered cars entering the Republic via Woodlands or Tuas Checkpoint must have a valid vehicle entry permit (VEP), or they will not be able to submit their Singapore Arrival Card (SGAC).

Owners of foreign-registered vehicles to settle their outstanding fines before applying for or renewing a VEP and entering Singapore.

Those who wish to check for any outstanding fines can do so on AXS .

They are advised to factor in the VEP application timeline of two weeks and the two calendar days needed by payment service providers to update the records in the agencies' systems.

2026年9月28日至30日，交通警察牵头开展多部门联合行动，从265名外国驾驶员处追回了超过63.9万美元的未缴罚款。

警方在周四（10月8日）发布的联合新闻稿中表示，此次行动得到了移民与关卡局（ICA）、建屋发展局、陆路交通管理局（LTA）、国家环境局和市区重建局官员的支持。

行动期间，共有 265 名有未缴罚款的外国驾驶员在通过兀兰关卡和图阿斯关卡进入新加坡时被拦下，并被要求缴纳车辆和交通违章罚款。

这些机构在声明中强调，新加坡严肃对待在新加坡违法且不缴纳罚款的外国驾驶员。

“新加坡当局会定期对这类驾驶员进行处罚行动，那些拖欠交通违章、停车违章或车辆排放违章罚款的人可能会被拒绝入境新加坡。”

他们还提醒驾车人士遵守新加坡法律，例如遵守规定的限速、遵守交通信号灯、缴纳ERP和停车费，以及不得违章停车。

有未缴罚款的车辆禁止入内。

从 11 月 2 日起，在新加坡境内有未缴纳交通违章、停车违章或车辆排放违章罚款的外国注册车辆将无法向陆路交通管理局 (LTA) 申请或续签车辆入境许可证 (VEP)。

根据现行做法，只有当外国注册车辆抵达陆路检查站时，才可能拒绝其入境，即使这些车辆存在未缴罚款的情况。

所有外国注册车辆都必须持有有效的车辆入境许可才能进入新加坡，没有许可证的车辆将被遣返回马来西亚。

自 10 月 6 日起，所有通过兀兰关卡或大士关卡进入新加坡共和国的外国注册车辆必须持有有效的车辆入境许可证 (VEP)，否则将无法提交新加坡入境卡 (SGAC)。

外国注册车辆的车主在申请或续签车辆入境许可 (VEP) 并进入新加坡之前，必须结清所有未缴罚款。

想要查询是否有未缴罚款的人可以在 AXS 上查询。

建议他们将 VEP 申请的两周时间以及支付服务提供商更新机构系统中记录所需的两个日历日考虑在内。
