South African vehicle in Kenya. Police clearance and storage
 

Hello!

Putting out some questions here hoping someone can enlighten me:

I have a South African registered car which I drove up from Cape Town to Nairobi, Kenya, and now that I'm officially broke I need to sell the car and fly back to Norway. However, navigating the import/export rules and regulations of this continent is a nightmare and I'm stuck:

Is it possible to obtain a police clearance certificate for this car when I'm not in South Africa? Does anyone know anything about this? I have tried contacting South Africa but it takes forever to get any kind of answer, so hopefully someone here know.

Since I have a feeling that I'll never be able to get the required documents needed to sell the car here I'm looking into storage and I'm wondering:

What happens if I leave the car here, come back in six months and try to cross the border with an expired Temporary Import Permit? And how would I go about extending this permit?

Thank you for your time!

Also, if someone has some suggestions on where to store the car in Nairobi, Kenya, please let me know!

Thank you,

You can store the car at Jungle Junction, search for it on here.

As for selling the car, Kenya is a pain alright. I hope it's not more than 8 years old?
