Hi all,

I am planning to drive to Penang from sud Thailand with my wife registered car.

The car is fully registered ( white plate )

The car is still on loan ( copy of the book but so not the original).

I am actually on an 30 days entry ( visa exemption) after multiple visa and few extensions.

Do you think I will be able to go through the both border, alone, without problems ( Assuming that we do understand about the malay insurance, the translation of the plate with the sticker thing etc etc).

Or the presence of my wife will be highly recommended ?

Thanks and respect for already all the help than Thai visa did for us about the informations that we was able to find during all the last years ( As we was readers only krub ).

p.s : Living in Satun, Penang is just a few hours by car......

Firstly, you need a car passport.

Secondly, you will not get a car passport if you don't have the car's actual blue book because there is a lien outstanding on the car.

I wasn't aware that you could leave LOS and re-enter on a visa exempt?

Learn something new everyday

If there is a bank loan still on the car your not going over any international border in that car think about it

Not necessarly. It has been done for Cambodia and Laos.

No car passport is needed but a special letter from LTD is needed. http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/800737-driving-in-malaysia-with-thai-registered-car/
