very embarassed about this!

I should be on the road now, but I cant seem to locate my V5 ! Which has been .....well stressful today. Anyway I have a Temp V5 from DVLA and a new one on the way. I will leave to cross Europe with my Temp V5 heading for the Turkish boarder.

Has anyone crossed into Bulgaria / Turkey with a Temp V5, was there any issue?

My wife will be flying into Istanbul with the new V5 next week so from then on no probs.

Last that way about 4 years ago, can't remember being asked for it, remember the Bulgaria border was a right PITA though, involved about 5 windows and a USB stick, nonsense really. I'm sure you'll be fine. Morroco you need a temp import doc but as I say cant remember being asked for V5 anywhere else (well Ukraine but best to avoid for now!)

Xmas 2012 at Bg/Turkey border and xmas 2013 at Bodrum, coming off boat from a Greek island I was asked for my vehicle reg doc. I was able to hand over a proper v5.

Good luck in convincing them to let you in with a temp one.

got to turkey boarder 1 day earlier than planned. arrived around 18.00hrs. Was in within 15mins. No problems. having read several trip reports on this boarder crossing I Dont get why some have taken so long to pass.
Customs took the longest time due to me striking up a conversation before we got down to business, all very happy and freindly.

that's great news
just last night, whilst reading Graeme Field's Ureka book & it was only when he got to the Turkish border did he discover he'd forgotten the V5 - they sent him away. Sounds like you made a good compromise in having a copy emailed to you

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
