Carnet is required for East Timor, Indonesia and Malaysia. Not for Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam etc.

Hi,
I was looking into a similar trip earlier this year, but gave up when a contact at Toll Holdings in Dili advised that it was taking ships about 10 days to gain access to the port after arriving in Timor, and some were continuing on their journey without unloading cargo due to the wait times.
I could not find any information on crossing from Timor-Leste to Indonesia with a motorcycle. I contacted the Indonesian Embassies in Canberra and Dili; Canberra were quite helpful, but did not have any specific information. Dili did not respond to my queries.
Regards
Paul

Indonesian Ferry Timetable
Hi,
Below is a link to the ferry timetable. They don't always run to the schedule but it gives anyone interested a bit of an idea.

Hi Daryl,
Thank you for the ferry information. I was considering a land crossing between Timor Leste and West Timor, but could not confirm what customs and immigration documentation was required or or how long I could stay.
I have since spoken to a contact based in Bali who has indicated that as long as I have carnet my bike can be used in Indonesia for 12 months before I need to export it. I can get an initial 30-day tourist visa, which can be extended for a further 30 days.
Regards
Paul

very interesting.
how realistic is it to organize ferry crossings for Bali-Lombok-Sumbawa-Flores on a rented bike?
and then return to directly Bali by some sort of transport vessel?
thanks!

Theres nobody checking the ownership of a vehicle on those ferries - so on your own bike or on a rented bike shouldnt be any problem at all.

If you are travelling with the bike no organisation is required at all as the ferries are roll on - roll off vehicle ferries, you simply buy a ticket and ride on to the ferry, park it and walk up to the passenger deck - thousands of people do it every day.
Returning the bike to Bali unaccompanied is somewhat more difficult as you will need to arrange for someone to collect the bike at the other end, and also arrange to get the keys and shipping paperwork to them.
