Driving to Nica & Transporting my stuff...question???

8 years ago

Hello:

This question is a follow up to all the other advise i have received on here from everyone else.

So, let me just say that i have been planing this for a while and i have collected a few items that i want to bring down PRIOR to receiving residency.

Okay, so, my question is relating to the drive down and what i can bring....AND what kinda vehicle can i drive down in?

Question #1
instead of driving my old Land Rover suv, what about if i drive in a BUS? Yes, a short yellow school bus....no RV conversion. The idea here is that i still get the off road power train. And its versatile...while im there i have cargo space to move materials around. I can camp in it when necessary. And if i need to make a quick buck transporting people/cargo i can.

Will this qualify under the tourist vehicle permit?

Question #2
If I can drive the bus in, then I can load up most of what items i will need initially and save on shipping. Stuff like my, shop tools (powered and hand tools). power genny, welder, computer/home office stuff, clothes, kitchen stuff??

Again, entering as a tourist by driving, i guess the issue is whether or not i will have to pay duties on whats in the bus it or not.

Any ideas?

Thanks
