Taking a motorbike into Cambodia

[JIMMY56]

My wife wants to take a motorbike purchased here in Thailand into Cambodia, she is a Cambodian citizen, she wants to leave the bike in Cambodia with her family, the bike is in her name

what are the requirements, can this be done?

I import bikes into Myanmar so these are the things you need to consider for any country to do it legally.

 

You may need an export licence from Thailand.

You may need an import licence from Cambodia.

You may need to pay the import duties in Cambodia.

You will need to know the registration requirements for Cambodia. e.g  In Myanmar cannot be used or older than 6 years.

 

Depending on the type and value of the motorcycle and time and effort you want to put in you may find it is simpler to sell your bike in Thailand and buy another bike in Cambodia. Imported bikes there are cheaper than in Thailand from what I know. Thailand has a 70% import duty on foreign made bikes. So here in Thailand a made in Thailand bike is the cheapest option. Cambodia is likely to have Vietnam made Hondas etc there.
