Hello!

We are in Laos since about 20 days now and we are planning to extend our 30 days tourist visa for another 10 days. To extend the visa in the immigration office in Vientiane is no big deal but we don´t know, if it is also possible to extend the customs documents for the temporary import of our foreign registered motorbikes?? :hmm :?: :?: :?:

Does anyone of you know, if it is possible to extend a 30 day temporary import document for a foreign regisered motorbike for another 10 days and when yes, where (in Vientiane) we have to go to do this? :?: :?: :?:

It is really urgent because we have to decide us until next Monday the 5th of December!

Many thanks for your help!

Every time I have asked Laos customs this question they have told me it is NOT possible to extend the Laos temporary import, you have to go in-and-out with the bike. You were lucky to get 30 days temp. import in Laos, normally they only give 2 weeks (check the dates on your paperwork for safety).

You can try to go to one of the international border crossings and see if they are willing to extend the temporary import permit without going out and in the country again. However, the temporary import permit can never be longer than the duration of your visa so if your visa runs out you will have to leave and re-enter again.
