Riding a Vietnam motorbike into Cambodia

Post new topic

jayrozzetti23

Has anyone here ever ridden their VN-registered motorbike into Cambodia for a visit/holiday and then returned to Vietnam, i.e. used your own transportation to exit and re-enter VN?


Is it possible? If so, what documentation/paperwork is required?

Yeah, a number of times on a Honda Blade, RSX and a Wave. Needed the blue card (wasn't in my name) and my passport. I had a notarized letter for the Blade but they weren't interested. Been across at Ha Tien and Moc Bai.


Big bike, never tried. But was told by a buddy who did a trip, on his Yamaha Versys that he had to do it with his wife, blue card was in her name, and apparently some sort of govt permission document.


So, never an issue with the small local stuff. (150cc)


My knowledge is these 4 border allow with Vietnam motorbike .


1.   Ha Tien Border Crossing

2.   Moc Bai Border

3.   Cửa khẩu Tịnh Biên

4.   Cửa Khẩu Quốc Tế Lệ Thanh


Also, I do have a real, none expiry Viet licence.

What was required:


Blue book and a bill of sale.


This was crossing at Ha Tien on 150 cc bike.

Nothing required . If they even ask for the blue card I would be surprised . Moc Bai and the one in the Mekong Delta anyway.

This thread is about crossing into Cambodia, so your clickbait about crossing into Laos is off topic.


Are you the blog owner?

Currently at Trapang Phlong boarder crossing and we are not allowed to exit Vietnam with the motorcycle that we bought in ho chi Minh, despite the fact that it has a blue card (it's not in my name though). We were told by the shop that we bought it, that it shouldn't be a problem. We also have the selling contract between the previous owner and me. Anyone that has similar experience? We are now thinking of trying the Moc Bai boarder. What do you think?

When you say you are not being permitted to exit Vietnam with the motorcycle, is it the VN border officers at Xa Mat (VN) stopping you from exiting with it, or is it the border officers at Trapang Phlong (CAM) refusing you entry with the bike? Also, what kind of "motorcycle" (size, value)?

Nah. It was a link I had saved on a Google sheet.

Looks to have been updated.

I'm certain it "was"  about Cambodia checkpoints.

It clearly isn't now. Stand corrected.

A friend of mine sent this message recently:


"I just heard last night through (name withheld to protect the innocent) that Cambodia is refusing all entry of MC (this means motorcycles) from Vietnam effective March 1st. I don't know if it applies to just foreigners or also Viets too."

We are having currently the same issue at Tinh Bien. The Vietnamese border officer refused to let us pass with our Honda Wave 110. We are in possession of the blue card and the contracts. Apparently we need to optain a "intership license" from the ministry of transportation to be allowed to leave with the bikes.

Welcome to the expat.com Vietnam forum, Takatu, and thank you very much for the report.


Will you be pursuing this "intership license"? Please keep us updated on your next move(s).

This appears to be the law and application portal for an "interim" vehicle registration:


RCP79

Anyone any recent experiences in crossing border into Cambodia with a motorbike?

(In combination with above interim vehicle registration)


I was thinking to give the Trapeang Phlong crossing a try as it would save me so much time, but I'm reading a lot of messages with mixed success..
