Hi there, I have an old but extremely reliable VESPA scooter, all metal and with 4 gears, not one of the modern Chinese "rice bowls". Have been using it for 20 years and would love to know if it makes sense to bring it over.
I should say that I am pretty much used to driving in India, Syria, Jordan where things are a bit "wilder" than in the US and the EU, so traffic behavior in KSA is not really an issue for me.
As a bachelor, I will be housed in RT first and then be moved to DHA when something frees up.
The question is: to use the scooter inside the compound I guess is no problem. What about OUTSIDE? Do I have to give it Saudi plates, do I need a special license?
Alternatively, I'd leave it here and buy a new vehicle in KSA. How easy or difficult is this to do in terms of paperwork etc? In other countries I lived in, especially the ones with bloated-up bureaucracies, there are "agencies" that do this kind of thing. So the additional question is: in your experience, is KSA easy or complex, and do agencies exist?
Thanks very much indeed!
