Hi, sorry for the late reply as I just picked it up.
Carnet works individually. As for the deposit payment method, you will need to check with you local automobile association. For Malaysia, you’ll need to do a bank draft.
hi, i’m malaysian. can i drive thailand registration vehicle travel from malaysia to iran without carnet? thank you
You will need Carnet to drive in India and Pakistan before getting into Iran.
Sorry – just to make this clear – you can not obtain a carnet for a motorcycle in Malaysia? So buying a bike in Malaysia and riding it into Nepal for example, is impossible – unless you pay the import tax.
Hi John, there is no company in Malaysia at the moment can provide carnet and hopefully someone will take over the current organization which went bankrupt.
I heard some of the riders (Malaysian registered vehicle) got their carnet document from the UK but I don’t have any details on this, sorry about that. I’ll update this article once I get any updates. Cheers
Is it cdp available now?
Nope, not available in Malaysia
hi bro, suppose bike cost rm30k, so carnet deposit will be same or “…
Hi Veer, the carnet deposit usually be somewhere between 80-100% of the bike’s market value. Unfortunately, you can’t apply for a carnet now in Malaysia as they have ceased operation for quite some time now. Hopefully, some other company will come forward to take over and resolve this issue.

You will need CDP to access India and also hire tour guide in Myanmar. No problems for Malaysian car to access SG and Thai.
