Storing a moto in Uruguay that i do not own
Hi! I am looking for advice! A friend owns a motorcycle and left it in Argentina for me to ride for 2 months and he left the country. Now we want to store the moto in Uruguay so the moto can be shipped outif the country within the year. Can i get a temporary permit to store the moto if i am not the owner? Does anyone have any experience with this that they can share?? Thank you in advance, gena

You can but first you need to get it out of Argentina...IF the TIP is in your friends name and he is not present it will be difficult.

Thank you. He did not get a TIP when he left it in Argentina since i picked the bike up several weeks after he left, so hopefully it will not be too difficult.

How did he enter the country without getting a TIP? You don't get a TIP when you leave the bike behind; you get it when you enter from another country. I'm betting that you and your friend have had some basic miscommunication about this, unless he purchased the bike in Argentina (in which case you have a different set of problems).

Next question: How will you enter Uruguay without the bike being in your name? This can be worked around if you've got a poder, you don't mention anything about this, and even with a poder nothing is 100% certain.

"Friend" can indicate anything from a lifelong best-friend-for-life to "someone I ran into at the pub, or ran into on line but never met." The interests of your "friend" may or may not align with your own.

Hope that's helpful.

Mark

Hi Mark, I am confused. I thought the TIP was a separate “customs” doc. So if i cross the border to Uruguay do i need anything other than the issued TIP at the border for storing the bike for a year or is there another customs doc that i need to complete? I ask this too because my spanish is terrible and i dont want to miss a step.
When i began my travels 2 months ago, my first border crossing out of Argentina was Chile to get to Ushuaia and i handed them all my moto papers and i think they took the TIP issued to my friend when he entered AR and since then the TIP has been issued in my name. I have crossed back and forth between chile and Argentina several times now. I do not know what a poder is but we had a lawyer draw up papers and had them notarized that i had legal use of the bike.

Its not all been without hassle and sideways glances at some of the crossings
