Wow, that is great news!!! Thanks for sharing :)

I've been worrying a lot about how to keep my truck in Magadan from November until all the ice roads reliably open in Jan / Feb, which would have made a trip of more than 90 days.

Thanks Mr P for the Custom's Union!!

Great to know!!!!
and on my side, an incredible news, some other foreigner riders found my wallet with all the document and money!! In 3-4 days I will be able to go on and leave my bike in Mongolia, as initially planned.

Thanks for you support and help anyway!!

I had already been at the police to make the lose declaration and was about to go today to the custom office in Yakutsk.

Luckily I don't have to go through all that anymore.

bier doesn't get much luckier than that, but I'd run out and buy some lottery tickets just in case.

Congrats !!

Best what could happen:thumbup1::thumbup1::D

Now that I solved this problem, there is another question coming.

Do I need to do something special at the border crossing if I want to leave my bike in Mongolia for 1 year?

I will leave the country with the plane and come back next summer.

I heard from someone that I need to pay the temporary import tax of 15.5%.

Thanks

In past years travellers have left their bikes in Mongolia at the Oasis Guest House; there is some customs paperwork/procedures which need to be dealt with as I understand it.

No, dont tell at the border that you leave it in Mongolia, solve that in UB.

at the paperwork write in a different border to leave .

Sometimes they try to get tax from you, but I think that is just to jerk you and you dont get that back.

So write a different border to leav and in UB you go to oasis and they help you.
They do that a lot of times.
And then you go to customs and clear that.
2 persons I know did that this way.

Back to the issue of leaving a vehicle in Russia--I've got another sighting here of someone who entered Russia in May and got a one-year TIP at the border. Bernd and Bubbla, could you tell us your nationality and what type of visas you had? Just trying to figure out if either of those factors matter...

Hi,

German on a one year business visa.

Met two other German parties entered with a 4x4 each and a group of 3 German Motorbikes with 1 year TIP.

Bernd

I wonder if it makes a difference if you have a business or tourist visa? The guy I know here is a US citizen with a work permit.

This is obviously a big and very helpful change, so it will be good to have a full understanding of the change. I will be at the Russian border tomorrow and will try to clarify there as well, although I'll be going out rather than in.

Hi you could donate the car to me in Mongolia and i will drive it back. Thats a win win. We can arange everything else on PN :-)

Passport German, bike Sweden, business visa 6 month, multiple entry.

I exited Russia on Saturday. While at the border, I asked the customs guy about the TIP. He confirmed that it is one year at the border, nationality and visa type do not matter. And as in the past, it can be renewed by leaving Russia for a day (or an hour) and coming back in.

All-in-all, this is a great development for moto travellers--now all you need to do is find a place to store your bike for the winter!
