I left my bike for 2-3 months legally in the following countries during my RTW trip:

1. Australia - Bike was imported on a Carnet and rumors said that I had to leave with the bike. But I contacted the right australian dept and they allowed me to leave my bike and fly out for 6-7 weeks. They needed my bikes details and Carnet number, adress where the bike was stored and name of the person in charge of the bike while I was away.


2. Uruguay - this country gives foreign plated vehicles a 12 month TIP. No problems whatsoever.

3. Mexico - this is a bit more tricky but a few of the mexican states doesnt require a TIP (amongst them Quintana Roo, and I belive one of the states bordering USA also has this regulation...?) So when exiting from Belize I just told the mexican customs staff that would store my bike in Quintana Roo for a couple of months. And they were happy with that. Had to ride down to the border again when I came back and arrange a TIP, but that wasnt any big deal and straight forward.

I also know many travellers stored their vehicles in Cambodia as this country doesnt hand out any TIP or similar document, so basically any foreign vehicle isnt registrated at all when in Cambodia. BUT - this seem to maybe have changed right before the Covid thing started. And it is also depending on which border one enter the country through...
