Hey everyone. I'm moving to Qatar in the next month or so. I want to know if I can bring my own vehicle with me. It's a 2006 Nissan Pathfinder. What is required?
Also, what are the rules on rebuilt titles? Are they allowed to be driven in Qatar?
Thank you everyone for helping me out. I guess ultimately if my car is 5yrs or younger from the current year along with being a left hand drive vehicle, I can bring my North American car with me. Thanks again.
YAYA you cannot bring 2006 model cars to any GCC country it is not allowed by Customs..
only cars less then 5 years old are allowed .... contact our office @ 44311122 we will provide you all the info.... if you need any help moving your Household goods from Canada to QATAR let us know...

CDN, please share the freight company and the clearing agent as we'll. I need to arrange a container for my belongings anyways. Your contact might help. Thx.
CDN is right , I 've seen fumes / steam from the radiator coming out from under the bonet of a friend's car ....... It was Merc ... reconditioned & imported from Europe ..... ... { Time : 10 years back , Place : Dubai } ...
BTW, I know a great freight forwarder in Canada and a great customs clearing agent in Doha if you're interested I can pass their information to you and you can do some homework.
I wouldn't recommend it. I have looked into doing the same things and I've heard the engine and especially cooling systems are built differently to withstand the heat in Doha. You wouldn't be doing yourself a favour shipping it to Qatar. That's only what I've heard nothing has been confirmed... but considering our cars are built to handle the cold instead of the heat I would look into it a bit further. I don't know anything about rebuilt titles, doubt it would matter in Qatar.
Plus, on another note if you thought maintenance work was expensive, think again. Double or even triple in Doha and most of the time unreliable. So it might save you a lot of headache to finance a brand new car with full warranty and just rinse and repeat when its paid off. Make sure the warranty is full coverage that lats the term of the finance.
