Help needed- Carnet extension indonesia
 

Hi,

I'm currently traveling in Malaysia and will be entering Indonesian in the next week or so. My carnet runs out in May and i will need to extend.

I heard a rumour that you could extend for 6 months in other countries without having to go through the process of sending the old carnet back to the Uk and getting a new one re-issued which obviously takes some time.

I would like to extend in indonesia somewhere.

I can't find any information on this so if you can help it would be fantastic.

Thanks
Russ

Normally, an extended carnet can only be used in the country where it has been extended. The cost will be about the same as a new carnet, except you don't have to pay the horrendous courier charge. Extension also requires cooperation of the AA in the country visited. In your case that would be Indonesia. Bad idea.

I suggest you delay your crossing to Indo, contact the RAC immediately for a follow-on carnet. You may be able to get it fairly quickly. You only return the old carnet once you have entered Indo on the new carnet.
