    In Colombia, you are allowed to extend for 90 additional days, for a maximum of 180 days per year. You must be outside for 180 days before another 90 days tourist visa can be given. I wish I had check up on the official requirements because now I am within 20 days of losing my truck if I cannot find a buyer. Or I will have to park my truck in Ecuador for 180 days and then bring it back into Colombia. I am currently applying for a temporary residence visa, and I will be without my truck for 6 months if I do not sell it first.

    Thank you for your work in putting all this together.

    Is it possible to temporarily import a car in Argentina? We will be driving with Oldtimer cars from Buenos Aires to Cartagena, Colombia next year. We’ll be entering Argentina 1x at airport for travelers and the harbour for the cars and 1x at the Futaleufu border for both traveler as car. How can we prepare for this? Thanks!!

    If my car breaks down in Panama how do I cancel the TIP and fly out of the country? Are there additional fees, taxes, or payments that I’ll need to pay?
    Thank you!
