Bringing a Car from Riyadh to Qatar

I'll be going to Riyadh with a family visit visa. Actually, I am working in Riyadh before. I left Riyadh last August to come to Qatar for a better job. I have a re-entry visa in Riyadh from my former company but it was already expired last Sept. My plan is to travel going thru Airline and going back to Qatar by car since I own a car in Riyadh. My question is, Is there any problem in the Border bringing my car from Riyadh going to Qatar. Or what are the documents they require in the Border? Help Please!!!

I did the same before coming to Doha 4 years ago. You have to go to Saudi traffic department and ask for "Export" permit which is granted in the spot. You will have to hand over the number plate and they will give you a temp one for 7 days, which gives u enough time to travel to Qatar. At the borders, there is agents will do the rest for u for around 150 riyals. you can drive with these plates in Qatar till u pay the customes and clear the car status (5% of car value, and it's negiotable)

I wish the car deserves the headache

Good luck
