New Gulf vehicle stay rules in Saudi
The Zakat, Tax, and Customs Authority announced the commencement of new regulations to govern the duration of stay for Gulf cars in the Kingdom, starting from August 26, 2026. These regulations specify a maximum stay of 90 days within every 365-day period, regardless of whether the days are consecutive or spread out. The counting begins from the day the vehicle enters through a customs port, and this applies to private cars owned by citizens or residents, as well as vehicles driven under an authorization. Rental cars from licensed establishments are excluded. Violations will result in procedural penalties, and it is possible to request an extension of stay by contacting the Ministry of Interior, subject to the specified conditions and procedures.
