The Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority of Saudi Arabia has introduced new regulations limiting GCC-registered vehicles to a maximum of 90 days per year within the Kingdom, starting August 26, 2026. The authority announced these changes on its X platform, stating that vehicles registered in any Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) state and owned by a Saudi citizen, resident, or authorized driver may stay in Saudi Arabia for no more than 90 days within a 365-day period, whether continuously or intermittently.

The calculation of the stay period begins from the moment the vehicle crosses a customs checkpoint into Saudi Arabia. The authority emphasized that this restriction pertains solely to private vehicles, with an exception for vehicles rented from licensed establishments in GCC countries. If individuals wish to prolong the duration of their vehicle's stay in the Kingdom, they are advised to reach out to the Ministry of Interior for further guidance.
