Our current plan is to buy a motorbike in HCMC, ride through Cambodia, then up into Laos before selling the bike in Hanoi. We have secured a three month, multi entry visa for Vietnam and have read in several places that visa on arrival will be available at our border crossings for Cambodia and Laos.
Has anyone crossed into Laos with a Vietnamese bike? I have heard that it will be impossible for the bike to be registered in my name, but the crossing is possible. I have also read in two places that my Laos visa may be changed to one week or 10 days due to importing a bike, and that local police will hassle anyone with VN plates. Does anyone have experience with this?
Thanks!
