I am currently in Chiang Saeng, Golden Triagle, Thailand, and will enter Cambodia on Dec. 18.
Anybody with RECENT experience on the current situation for bringing a U.S. registered bike please give me a heads-up. I do have a Cambodian driver's license, if this is of any help. I like to stay in Cambodia (with the bike, of course) until March next year. Thanks!
You will experience the same process you had when entering or leaving a Thai border with a foreign registered bike.
You need your passport, current registration book for the bike and bike is in your name.
Customs surely created created an Import/Export document for the bike when you first entered Thailand...giving you a copy of the Im/Ex doc.
At the Thai/Cambo border will have Immigration stamp you out of Thailand, then go to Customs, where you will give them
your copy of the original Im/Ex doc, created when you brought the bike into Thailand. Customs will enter the info in their computer,
allowing the bike to leave Thailand. If you plan on staying/residing in Cambodia and want to later re-enter Thailand you'll get a new Thai Visa,
then go to Customs with your bike reg book and have customs create a new Im/Ex doc for the bike.
Then you get to hassle with the Cambo Immigration crooks: overprices visas, fake health checks, etc. Showing your Cambo D/L may
ward off some of the scams. There is no current requirement to register your bike or obtain insurance when entering Cambo on
a foreign bike. Some will tell you there is. Ignore them....get your visa and drive on...
Someone will correct me, if I missed any significant point.
