Vehicles bearing Gulf plates will soon face a firm time limit inside Saudi Arabia. Under new rules approved by the Saudi government, cars registered in any Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) country can no longer remain in the Kingdom beyond 90 days within a 365-day period.
The decision was issued by the Saudi Council of Ministers, which framed regulations to control how long GCC-registered vehicles may stay in the country. The 90-day cap applies whether the stay is consecutive or split across multiple visits. The countdown begins from the date the vehicle enters Saudi Arabia through any customs port.
