Thanks for the info on Timor Leste, I was wondering about that one. It's not a problem anyway, since you need one for Indo, so they can stamp it if they want.
> 21 Central and South Am countries, most of whom "say" they need one
Who is "they" and where do the say that? The Carnet Info page here on HU states you don't need one anywhere in America and people's experiences seem to corroborate that. It's these experiences that we need to collect and publish. We need this info, otherwise how can we decide whether or not to get a carnet? 'Cause if you don't have one and you can't get in you could potentially have a big problem.
The system that you mention with Indo exists in other places as well. Neighbouring countries often do away with carnet or bond requirements. Thais don't need one (nor can they get one anyway) to visit Malaysia, Indo has these agreements, etc. We don't care about these local requirements/arrangements here, because people living in these countries will be aware of them. We are only concerned with travellers.
So, lets keep the ideas and info coming.
Cheers,
Peter.
