Temporary vehicle import to Egypt
A visa and a vehicle are different law: the person and the car are given their terms by different authorities, and those terms need not match.
- Maximum term
- 180
- How the term is counted
- together with the driver’s stay
- Carnet de Passages
- Not required
- Extension
- Possible
Official tripticket rules: private passenger cars of Egyptians residing abroad, foreigners and tourists may be temporarily released for a maximum of 6 months in the year, but not exceeding the foreigner’s permitted stay shown in the passport. Separate, shorter rules apply to trucks (2 weeks + 2 weeks possible extension) and cars arriving with tourist groups (max 1 month). For non‑resident foreigners generally, customs law also sets a 6‑month maximum for temporary admission of vehicles and yachts.[7][8]
