Re: Registering Moto - New Rule
when i went up to PP to buy a Honda Dream last year, one of my oldest Khmer friends who i trust came along and she also brought one of her friends who knows his bikes too (for inspection purposes), registered the bike in her name and got it plated etc, no issues and was glad i took her along tbh, she was always asking lots of questions and the sellers were quite honest about which bikes had cards, were stolen, knackered, where as if id of gone by myself, they would have probably just sold the bike without saying anything and id of had problems down the line

A recent law has been passed that denies any foreigner from registering a moto in his/her name. It is no longer possible to become a registered owner of a used moto if you do not obtain Cambodian citizenship.
The only exception being, when foreigners purchase a brand new, or newly imported moto being registered for the first time.
Is it fair to assume:
- the moto has been imported from japan and not previously registered in Cambodia
- associated import tax or duty has been paid already
If so, does anyone know what are the costs to get it registered and plated in your name? Or, is that something you get the dealer to do and include as part of the purchase price?
- a foreigner could get it registered in their name based on the above

Don't see any problems with that agreement. What will you do with the moto when you return to work! Would you sell it on in obviously now the girls name. Or keep it, letting her use and have the same moto on the next return?Jamie_Lambo wrote: ↑Mon Apr 30, 2018 5:33 pm

I had bought a new moto last year, the registration was included in the overall sale price. The shop salesmen also needed my Cambodian driving license and also a copy of my passport and current valid visa.
As also someone enquired about dealers selling with no tax! I think this is the import tax, if you buy I would think that the tax is down to the buyer and unable to register until it's payed.
Registration in your name is a must for insurance. Any one have information on who in Cambodia will insure a westerner?
Always "hope" but never "expect".
Re: Registering Moto - New Rule
Any updates on this from anyone with first hand experience? Is it actually required to transfer the registration within 90 days or are you ok to ride around with the ownership card in a previous owners name?
When purchasing a used moto would you just have the previous owner sign a bill of sale stating that they've sold you the bike?
Are there any annual taxes or other requirements for motos like there are for cars?

Re: Registering Moto - New Rule
As foreigners can't register a previously registered used bike in their name, the 90 days rule doesn't make much sense. Never heard, nor ever had any problems owning bikes with other people's name on the registration.elguapo wrote:Any updates on this from anyone with first hand experience?

Ideally you would get a copy of the sellers national ID, at least one previous tax sticker/receipt, import tax receipt or registration receipt, the registration card, and make a bill of sale (it's easy to get a proforma version, the seller will provide) that is signed and thumbprinted by you, the seller, and a witness, and include telephone numbers of each person.
Bikes up to 125cc do not require annual road tax, those above do. Can be obtained at ACLEDA bank by showing the previous years tax sticker and paying the fee. Around 5000៛ iirc.

I thought they ended the annual road tax for motos a couple of years back ?epidemiks wrote: ↑Fri Jul 20, 2018 1:45 pmAs foreigners can't register a previously registered used bike in their name, the 90 days rule doesn't make much sense.

I had my scooter confiscated a few months ago because I was not on the owner card, and the police wont return it for the same reason.
Not saying most wont have problems, but things are changing around here and paying a small slap on the wrist and being carefree isn't always the way it's done anymore.
