Foreign-registered vehicles will have to pay more to enter Singapore

By Jeanette Tan | Yahoo Newsroom – 

From the start of August, it will cost 75 per cent more to drive into Singapore with a car registered overseas.
 
Singapore's Land Transport Authority (LTA) is raising the vehicle entry permit fees for foreign-registered cars from $20 to $35 per day.
 
For goods vehicles, the fee will be hiked fourfold to $40 per month.
 
Both revised fees will kick in from 1 August, said LTA in a statement, but buses, taxis and motorcycles will not be affected by the hike.
 
Also, all vehicles still do not have to pay fees to enter Singapore on weekends, public holidays and between 5pm and 2am on other days, with these hours extended to between 12 noon and 2am during the June and December school holidays in Singapore.
 
Further, while owners of foreign-registered goods vehicles can still purchase permits at the existing $10 monthly fee this month, any permit that holds validity beyond July will be charged at $40 per calendar month.
 
"The cost difference (between owning and using a foreign-registered vehicle as opposed to a Singapore-registered one) has widened in recent years, giving rise to the need to revise the (fees)," the agency said.
