SAUDI EXPATRIATES

Light cars used for transporting goods on highways are subject to regulations that state, "the ownership of these vehicles shall be for the licensee directly or through a financial lease and that he shall be the actual user of the vehicle." In the event of order delivery, these regulations will not apply to such cars under the ministerial decree.

The Transport General Authority (TGA) has issued a circular requesting information from businesses with transportation licenses and vehicles registered under the operational leasing system. The purpose of this request is to allow the TGA to issue operating cards for these vehicles.

According to the authority, they are required to ensure that the operative cards are not used beyond the rental contracts expiration date. Recommend : Few more information on new amendments of Saudi Labor Law 2024

The TGA gave these businesses 30 days to submit the data, listings submitted after that date will not be taken into consideration.

An earlier decision by the Minister of Transport and Logistics authorized laws governing the operation of light transport of goods on roadways. However, this decision serves as an exemption from the application of paragraph (a) of Article 13.

This will remain in effect until the end of the specified period in the contracts, where it was stated that "the licensee must issue an operating card for each vehicle operating in the activity, with a duration of one year and not exceeding the operational life of the vehicle or the license validity date for establishments, and that the vehicles are owned by the licensee directly, or by financial lease, provided that he is the actual user."
