By motorbike from Vietnam in Laos


By motorbike from Vietnam in Laos

The Bordercrossing on a Vietnamese motorbike at Tay Trang is very easy and straightforward. You arrive after going over some hills at the Vietnamese border where very friendly guys handle your case easily and with no hassle. You fill out the form for "temporary export of a vehicle", show them the Vietnamese Registration Card for the bike (which is in the owners name, not yours usually) and pay US$10. Then you proceed to the police, show the papers to them and get the exit stamp. You then have to drive for 6km over the mountains to get to the Lao checkpoint. There some not so friendly border guards there who expect you to pay 5,000 Kip for general fees and 25,000 Kip for importing a vehicle. They fill out the form themselves and I got 30days visa (there is some talk in the net about 15day visa or even 7days arriving on abike, but thats crap). So after spending maybe 20 mins on at each border you and your bike are in Laos and the journey can go on! Brroammm...
