I can con firm that if you have a Colombian plated bike and a Colombian nationality or forien resident with residence you dont need a TIP for Ecuador or Venezuela they share the same flag , it is in a reason for Commerce and being a Andean nation with in 3 countries
your transportation linked to your pass port may be another ordeal
I dont give it much thought because my transportation is linked to my Visa/ Cedula and Colombian ID
I can guarantee I will never need a TIP to travel SA with My Colombian papers in SA But I will have buy insurance. it is all that is needed to cross borders
If you think about it , it sounds ridiculous to have a temporary import permit if you want to travel, if you live in South America. for what reason would you need one challenge this one AM
id like good answers because I dont date babes that work in migration or federal Transit Authorities I wish I did

Good luck - our experience is different.
Crossing borders usually requires either TIP or CdP; I realise that there are "open border" areas like Schengen; so I take your point that travel within the Andean Community or MERCOSUR ought to be similar.

WANDRR,

Crossing borders often means buying short-term civil liability insurance. I tried to buy MERCOSUR before leaving Peru. The broker could only sell MERCOSUR insurance for 4-wheeled vehicles. I offered to put training wheels on my motorcycle, no success. In Brazil, I was told insurance is recommended, not required. I tried to buy insurance in Porto Velho, Brazil, but the insurance office I stopped in wasn't able to craft a policy. I didn't bother for the short time I would be in Paraguay

I bought liability insurance when I entered Argentina at Clorinda (the closest city in AR after leaving Asunción, Paraguay.) Customs didn't want to allow me to enter. After some time they reviewed and recorded my Peruvian SOAT policy, which did not cover Argentina but may have shown a pattern of buying buy insurance. I promised the officials that I would buy insurance in Clarinda and they let me in. In Clorinda, I found an insurance agent and was delighted to learn that the insurance covered these MERCOSUR countries: Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina, Chile, and Bolivia. Buy insurance once, and you're covered for multiple countries. Peru is an associate member of the MERCOSUR agreement, which may explain why it was not covered. Or perhaps the policies are designed and marketed by region?
