There can never be any certainty about what you might experience even when advice is based on the letter of the law, let alone when based on others' experiences, but it is extremely common for travellers to take advantage of the 8-month TIP to leave their vehicle there and go home for a few months. Most fly out, but others have taken a bus to santiago and flown home from there.

If you choose to never return then provided the bike isn't left where it is going to annoy anyone, nothing should happen.

BTW If you ask an Aduana official if what you propose is OK, you will likely be told that it is illegal. Don't ask, don't tell might be best.

If you want to return to Argentina in the future - after the TIP has expired - that might be a different matter because computers might have the data referenced to your passport.

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.
