sapson Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 A colleague of mind was toying with the idea of driving into laos for a visa run trip to Vientianne, his vehicle is in his name and not financed. Just need an idea of the paperwork that would be required and if its a simple or lengthy process at the borders. Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Not much of of a process at border but it will require getting a passport for the vehicle and having it's registration book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Is that document still called Vehicle Trip Ticket? Who issues it in Thailand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I have read it being called a passport before. It is applied for at transport ministry office. They stamp departures and re-entries in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maestro Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 So it's a whole book. Now I remember what I have seen it called before, in Europe: Carnet. A French word. Not sure if it is the same document we are talking about here; would love to get a scan or photo for my album. Sent from my Nexus 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maestro Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Searching the Internet some more I found an image of this car passport and see that it is a document unique to Thailand, neither called Vehicle Trip Ticket nor Carnet, but a booklet that is the size of a passport and looks very much like a passport, officially named International Transport Permit, and it gets stamped much like a passport: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
