Traveling and Parking up in Russia
 

Hi, I am looking for some advice, we plan on leaving South East Asia at the begining of June 2017 traveling first through China (guide already booked) then into Mongolia before entering Russia with our truck on a 1 month tourist visa, we would then like to drive to say Novosibirsk and leave the vehicle under cover with power for the batteries for the winter, then fly out of Russia before our visa's run out. We would then return around May time 2018 to continue our adventure, my first question is will the Russian authorities allow us to just leave the vehicle without telling them and secondly is there anybody that can recommend a safe place we can leave the truck undercover for the winter at a fare price in the Novosibirsk area.

I'd think you will want heating with that ... how low does it get in Novosibirsk? Umm -19C in Jan... that is 'usual' .. bet it gets colder when you park your vehicle. :freezing: It will not be cheap.

Hi,


Actually (at least 2016) you get a TIP (temporary import permit) for 12 month. Therefore, you can leave your car as long in the country.

We are also looking for a place to store our Landcruiser in Novosibirsk after a Mongolia trip. If you are lucky, we would appreciate a hint.

As Bernd says, you should get a 1 year temp import cert when you enter Russia, so you should be fine, although you should definitely check the expiration date on the term import cert when you enter just to make sure.

as for storage, most/all siberian cities have a 4x4 club that could probably set you up in some way if you contact them.
