Foreign Licensed Motor Vehicles

Enter China with your own motor vehicle - motorcycle or 4-wheeled vehicle - to complete driving across the continent or to explore China. We can make the arrangements for you to enter and drive in China.

To enter and drive your foreign licensed motor vehicle in China requires prearrangement of permits and licenses. For Xinjiang-only entry and exit it typically takes about 1.5 months to process paperwork. Popular entry points and routes are to enter Xinjiang via Torugart Pass or Irkeshtam Pass and drive to Kashgar and then exit over Khunjerab Pass on the Karakoram Highway to Pakistan. The reverse of this route is identical when it comes to organizing.

For entry into and driving inter-province (through more than one province) up to 4 months is required to process paperwork. Driving across China is complicated by needing many more permits with paperwork going through Beijing. A popular route to drive is to enter from Laos at Mengla and to drive across China, exiting through Xinjiang to Central Asia at Korgas, Torugart Pass or Irkeshtam Pass. Entry and exit via Khunjerab Pass is also an option. Sadly, at this writing inter-province travel by foreign licensed motorcycles is not allowed. There may be a possibility for travel between Xinjiang and Tibet which allows for entry/exit to/from Nepal, Pakistan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakistan.
