East Africa - Long Term
Hello,
I have 'done' Africa, north to south and west to east, doesn't mean i have seen it all by any means, but i now want to try something slightly different.
Does anyone know if (how) it is possible to leave a foreign vehicle in (say) Kenya for an extended period, maybe 2-3 years. I am contemplating buying a truck and motorbike which i can base there for extended trips. I have somewhere physical to leave them, but i don't have an up to date idea on temporary importation.
Is there a time limit?
Will a TIP allow me to leave it there almost indefinitely?
Would i have to dip in / out of any of the neighbouring countries to reset the time allowed?
Is it shown in your passport (as it used to be) which can create a problem when you fly out?
Clearly taking a vehicle in and then at some point leaving and being told i owe $$$$ in duty would be something of a PITA ;-)
I would probably plan to ship into Mombassa or DeS rather than drive from here. Must be getting soft in my old age.....
Any knowledgeable help gratefully received.
Many thanks
James
