Carnet requirement Morocco into Mauri? Current regulations?
I've come across more than one report suggesting that a carnet may be required to permit entry for vehicles over 5 yrs old. Can anyone confirm and/or shed some light on this please?
:confused1:
(I'll be riding a 2001 reg. GS)
Thanks.

Carnet from Marocco to Mauri
Hi Mystic,
as far as I know it is not required. But just give me a couple of days I ant to cross the border to Nouadhibou in two days, at the moment I am in Laayoune. I let you know next week.
Cheers Lalli

Carnet for Mauritania
Hi, I called last friday the Mauritanian embassy in Brussels regarding a visa. They said that I would have to present a carnet to obtain such a visa if I planned on entering the country overland.

Thanks for the reply Patrick. As far as you know, does that include both 2 wheels and 4? Does that apply to ALL vehicles regardless of age?

again and again...
in short:
you do not need a carnet to enter mauritania.
(all kinds of vehicles, no matter which year of construction )
get your visa at rabat, morocco, nowbody will ask you to show carnet there.
at the border they do not care, wether you have one or not.
it´s only certain mauritanian embassies in europe who want to see the carnet,
belgium and switzerland for example.
if you apply in germany, it is printed at the visa- application that you need one,
but they issue the visa without carnet.
if more and more people show up at the border with carnet, i am afraid one day you really need one !!
