Temporary vehicle import to Saudi Arabia
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
- per entry
- Carnet de Passages
- Required
- Extension
- Possible
For foreign tourist vehicles not registered in a GCC state, ZATCA’s customs guide gives 180 days if covered by a valid International Customs Carnet (دفتر مرور دولي), or 90 days without one; the 90-day rule can be extended for a similar period against bank/cash security.
Six months (180 days) for cars covered by a valid international customs carnet (دفتر مرور دولي).
