Temp import to Thailand on Tourist visa?
I'm trying to get my ducks in a row for Thailand. My plan is to ship RoRo in a few days from Japan. I contacted Fair & Easy co., LTD about help with customs. They were recommended on the GT riders forum.
I was planning to fly into BKK and get a visa at the air port. I have been told that I can not temp import my motorcycle on a 1 month visa from the airport. Instead they said I will need to have a 3 month tourist visa prior to getting to the country. Can anyone shed some light on this?
I also have a carnet. Can't I just get my carnet stamped?
My worry is I won't be able to get a visa in Japan before I leave. (i've heard horror stories.) I will be flying into Seoul before BKK so I extended my stay there, I could get the 3 month visa... I hope.
