Hi all,
I entered Thailand recently with a 60 day visa, but at the border they gave me an import document for the bike which states that it has to be re-exported within 30 days. When I queried this I was told "no problem".
Now, when an official tells me "no problem" in this offhand way then, being the pessimist that I am, I assume that it will be a problem when I try to leave. In fact, my plan is to extend my visa for another 30 days.
Can anybody please enlighten me as to the actual situation, i.e. it is or isn't a problem and if it is, where can I go to get it fixed.
I perused the GTR web site, but there is only mention of importing bikes for residents, not temp import.
Thanks in advance,
Peter.
