What documents are required to take my car from Thailand to Laos?

blue book and purple international car passport. Take photocopies of the relevant pages in both books (owner information and latest road tax payment) and all the information pages in the international car passport booklet. You'll need 2-3 copies of each.

All other forms such as the TM2, TM3 and TM4 forms can be filled out at the border, but if you print them out at home and fill them out before arriving, you'll easily save 20-30 minutes and won't get carpal tunnel syndrome.

Although it's not a firm rule, but make sure your road tax is up to date, with at least 30 days remaining before leaving the country. Since you can renew your road tax up to 90 days before it expires, make sure you do that before you leave the country with the car, even if it's just for a short trip.

The car passport is generally issued within 2-3 hours, depending on which land transport office you use. It's best to use the one at Chatuchak. Others may require proof of address, which is another nuisance, involving either immigration or your embassy and could take days or weeks to request.

U need to make a passport for the car at transportation department, at the border u need to make a insurance, and as i remember u need 3 sets of copies, passport, passport from car and so on. The passport need like 2-3 days and is valid as long your toad tax.

Make sure you are covered on insurance as well

There is a process for obtaining a passport for your car, I’ve seen one for a car however unsure of process to obtain one. Another process is single movement, go to DLT office and request a letter showing you vehicle tax ect is paid, the vehicle owner has to travel with the vehicle with the owners book, blue book, take passport photos and passport, the forms they get you to fill out at immigration can be downloaded from the immigration website, the paperwork is to export a vehicle from Thailand, on arrival in Laos you need to drive to the far right side, park up go get your visa, then drive through vehicle entry to be processed entry, during this time you park for insurance, 3rd party personal

the blue book in ur name
