Asheron Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I need to get a new visa at Savannakhet so me and my friend (his car and in his name) would make the trip together. The car is on a finance so technically it's not his car yet so i'm asking for him: What papers does he need to take with him? How much is the "fee/tax" at Mukdahan border to be allowed to drive inside Laos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJH77 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 You Cannot Take it into Lao if it is under Higher Purchase as you don't have the Car Book for the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cumgranosalum Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Unlilkely you'll be allowed as you would need permission from the "owner" i.e. the finance company. You could always ask though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isan Farang Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Park the car at the Thai side of the bridge. Its only 50 Baht each way on the bus and then the cost of a Samlor or mini van. Even if you had the blue book its not worth all the hassle just to get to the Thai consulate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomtomtom69 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Unlilkely you'll be allowed as you would need permission from the "owner" i.e. the finance company. You could always ask though. You can easily bring a Thai car in someone else's name across to Laos if you first get the requisite purple international transport permit and bring along the registration along with a power of attorney from the owner BUT a finance company is unlikely to approve a request to take the car out of the country. You could ask, and see if there's an option to make a deposit for the book. Some companies might oblige, especially if a few conditions are met including: 1) you have not defaulted on any payments and always made them on time; 2) you are getting close to the end of the financing period, for example 3 years out of a total of 4 years have elapsed (I wouldn't try to take a car out that's on say a 5-year loan and you have only made like 2-3 payments as that's unlikely to be approved) or 3) you are going on an organized tour with tour leader who can guarantee you are coming back. However, some finance companies, such as Tanachart are unlikely to approve any request to take a car on finance out of the country under any circumstances - the most likely exception would be number 3). Of course you can always ask by calling their Call Center on 1770 or the respective numbers for other finance companies. But chances are it's unlikely to be permitted.
