Why do expats needs sponsor letter to buy a vahicle? I know it's a requirement but why? Sponsor are not the one who will pay and takes the responsibilities of the vehicle, right? Can anyone tell me why? Thanks

Yea u need it, sponsor is ultimately responsible for u and ur debts if u run off, thats y

btw I did this last week and was almost sent away because I didn't have CR (commercial Reg) of Company with me luckily th major was there and said ok.

All these rules are there because of people cheating in the past, all the innocent suffer these inconveniences when the real crooks have their own ways of evading laws, as in yesterdays newspaper report of fraudsters departing with QR 1M of other peoples money.

I think there is nothing wrong in it, though it may seem a bit strange for a new comer. 'Sponsorship' means a lot in GCC. For a local person, or local officials, sponsor is the dependable person in any deal. As such, any default from the part of the expat will finally rest on sponsor.

In simple terms, almost everything requires Sponsor's NOC (approval). NOC to work outside, NOC to enter, NOC to depart, NOC to buy automobiles, NOC to bring family, NOC for loan.

Only thing you would not require for is to buy things at supermarket and marriage.

Hahaha, I love this Question. Why we expatriate need a non objection letter from our sponsor to buy a car even our sponsor not pay a single cent.

The answer is, Our sponsor are similar to our parents, expatriates are similar to aliens. The government wanted a proof that you got permission from your parents to buy a car or otherwise they will not allow you to own a car. lol..cheers mate

This is the rule here...respect it! Either take it or leave it, and by the way, it not a big deal having a letter from your sponsor. Don't complicate things.

What matters is that you need a Sponsor letter to get your Car registered, not why you need the letter.
