Hi everyone,

I currently hold a DTV visa and I'm wondering about the practicality of traveling to Laos and Vietnam with my vehicles (a Toyota Corolla, Honda PCX, or Kawasaki Ninja 250R).

  • Is it relatively easy to cross borders with these vehicles under my name?

  • Or would it be simpler if I registered them under my girlfriend’s name instead?

Any advice or experiences would be greatly appreciated—thanks in advance!

Did it years ago, and always Nong Khai / Vientiane crossing.   Easy enough, though need some paperwork before, and then I think we had to buy insurance on Laos side, very inexpensive.

 

Would imagine easier now, and link above should help, maybe.

My Thai wife does it every 2x weeks into Laos (thai reg hilux, it can only be temp imported for 14 days at a time).  Not sure about Vietnam.

 

Just follow the advice from the other forum topics (links below) for Laos, need vehicle passport from Thai side, valid registration, blue book, proof its unencumbered, THA sticker on the back to show its RHD vehicle. 

 

Be prepared to be frustrated each time, lots of shuffling between different booths on both Thailand and Laos side with filling out papers and getting things stamped etc.

 

Good luck
