Iran, UAE, Oman - Carnet?
 

We have a plan travelling to Iran in 2005 end of the summer and wanted to know that does the UAE require Carnet for motorcycle coming from Iran to UAE with ferry? And going from UAE to Oman, is Carnet needed there too?

We're attempting to enter Iran without Carnet via issuing temporary import paperwork on the Iran border (100-200$ (?)) so if there's no Carnet needed in UAE and Oman too we'd have high motivation visiting those countries too. Has anyone crossed recently Iran with out the Carnet (with temp. import)? Any advice on it?

Any information about those countries would be appriceated!

Hi Margus,
we have been in Iran, UAE and Oman in 2003 and 2004. Iran definately requires a carnet (or similar on the border, we had a carnet). Going from Iran (Bandar Abbas) to UAE (Sharjah) with the ferry, UAE customs asked for the carnet though I know several people who went there without carnet (shipping the bikes from Germany). Oman doesn't need a carnet.

Cheers

Dirk
