Carnet
I’m new to this I hope I’m in the right place. I’m intending to ride through multiple countries in Eastern Europe and South East Asia, including India, Pakistan, and South America, do I need multiple carnets etc ? Cheers Bill Cooper.

Hi
Fill out your profile details so we can answer better?
You will need carnets depending on your country of origin(or the bike more specifically) You will need to check your countries details against the destination country and work it out as you go.
SEA is pretty much carnet free, I took one with me from Europe to Thailand and I have a brand new Carnet book, never been used
Cheers

I started 9 months ago from europe (now back in Thailand) and my carnet has been used in Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam and now in Thailand also (previously in Nepal, India and Pakistan (do not remember if it was stamped also in China)).
I have heard that Carnet is not mandatory in SE asia, you might get through the borders without it.
In Indonesia it seems to be mandatory.

One carnet can do all the countries ... but you need to tell the carnet provider what countries are to be covered... some countries 'cost' more than others.

AA and RAC can I believe supply a list of what countries require carnet.
I expect there are links in the trip paperwork section.
Looking at the latest from the RAC website though I am not sure how accurate the information is. It says a carnet is required for Africa except tunisia and morocco but it certainly wasn't on the 2 occassions I drove down the west coast to Gambia, or has it changed?
I'm sure the fact you have to pay the RAC to issue a carnet doesn't influence their advice!

a carnet isn't a single document, it's a book of coupons. each page has 3 sections... a coupon is left at the border as you enter and exit, and your copy stays in the book. when you enter a new country, a new page is started, so the one carnet is all you need for multiple countries.
the carnet represents a bond... you agree that you will have your bike out of the country by a certain date, or forfiet your bond. this amount varies from country to country, butyour AA will caculate this for you. the bond can be up to 4x the bikes value, but you should be able to pay an 'insurance premium' of much less... in aus we pay 2% of the bond to theAA and they then act as garrunter to the rest of the world.
a carnet is required for malaysia, indonesia and east timor, but other parts of se may still ask for one. pakistan, india and much of south america also require a carnet
