Recent trip to Zim & Bots, these were the entry/exit requirements :
Leave SA :
Passport
insurance exit letter
finance co exit letter
m/v registration doc - form RG1 (copy okay)
m/v licence disc (had copy of licence doc as well - form MVL1)
Enter Bots :
Passport
had to purchase, in Pula (customs exchanged Rand at 7/1)
MVA insurance P50
Road safety levy P20
Short term permit P50
they didn't ask for any documentation, but did require licence Numbers & permanent addresses
Leave Bots :
Passport
fill in vehicle register
Enter Zim :
passport
had to purchase (had US dollars, they will accept SAR)
Short term import permit (stipulate cameras, bike etc) R60
show proof of mv ownership
purchase RAF insurance R100
purchase 3RD party ins R160
leave Zim
passport
show import permit
pay Bait Bridge toll R35
Enter SA
passport
fill in mv register
apparently should have had some exit doc from SA customs when leaving, but they accepted we didn't get this
Not a requirement, but essential is repatriation insurance covering large capacity motorcycles - purchased this from Regent for R800
We had 100% absolutely no hassles whatsoever in Zim (or Bots) - the police were mostly entirely disinterested in us; tolls on Zim roads are not charged for motorcycles !
Main roads are in good condition, good road network, fuel readily available at almost all settlements & astonishingly friendly people. Had a jorl.
