Overstay in one country on Carnet

oops

I've stayed longer than 180 days/6months in one country on my carnet.

I don't know what will happen when I try and leave in 5 weeks time (2 months overdue)..

Any clues?

I'm currently in Nepal, exiting into India. The border I came in on, the customs officer couldn't read english and asked me to fill out the carnet, he stamped it. Unfortunately I cannot use this border as its in the wrong direction. Lets just hope that if they notice its no big deal.

There is the tax man of Sunali that people riding Indian plate bikes in Nepal go to , to get new nepali road tax sorted. Maybe he can help, for a fee....


This country is addictive!

Are you exiting towards Darjeeling? That one is pretty small, they might not notice. Or care since you are exiting buuuut...getting into India will be a problem. 5 weeks, can you get it renewed?

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
