Well, when we did this five yeas ago there was no problems. We registered the van as “Tourists” using our home address. The Tourist registration has a fixed time limit which you must determine when registering. Meaning that you must tell them when you’re taking the van out of Europe, meaning the Euro zone. This information is then stamped into the plate therefore the plate has the date the van must be out of Europe. Frank
