temporary import peru ecuador colombia, how long possible

[Goetz]

Hello

my wife and I have two bikes stationed in Buenos Aires.
We are living in Berlin, Germany.
May 2008 we will return and keep on going in SA heading into Bolivia and north,
Flight back to Berlin is planned september 08,

Question is:
for how long is it possible to park the bikes in peru, ecuador or colombia? Or even venezuela or brasil.
We need at least 6 months before we will be able to return back to SA in 2009

Thanx in advance

Peru is 3 months - I have not found a way to extend this except leave the country and come back.

Colombia is 3 months and 3 month extension. However if D.A.S only give you a 60 day tourist visa, which is becoming increasingly more common, then DIAN will only give a bike permit for the duration of the tourist visa.

Also, any extension for the bike permit must be made in person.

thanx Happy Hacker, thanx Raaay.

I know it´s possible to leave the bike 8 months in Argentina, maybe 12 months in Uruguay and 3 months in Chile.
But we are heading to the northern part of South America.

Is there any country in SA exept the mentioned ones where it is possible to store the bikes for at least 6 months?

Happy trails

You could try Brasil - the four times I've been there they've either messed up or not given me import papers, they never asked for the papers when I left either.
