Drivers Face Higher Fees in Singapore

Starting 1 January next year, Singapore will raise the entry permit fees that foreign‑registered vehicles must pay to drive on its roads. The new rates apply to all non‑Singapore‑registered cars, motorcycles and other road users crossing the border.
The increase will be collected through the existing electronic permit system and is intended to adjust the cost structure for cross‑border traffic, ensuring foreign vehicles contribute proportionately to road maintenance.

If you own a vehicle registered abroad or plan to drive into Singapore for work, tourism or logistics, you’ll need to budget for the higher permit charge from the start of next year.

The hike raises travel costs for cross‑border commuters and may influence decisions on where to base vehicles, while also boosting revenue that can be directed to Singapore’s road upkeep and congestion management.
