I am on a visit visa from Dubai which I got on arrival. I have a driving license for Qatar but it is expired. I have U A E Driving licnese. How can i renew it here if I am on visit visa. Though we have got a branch here in Qatar and the sponsor has given Noc also. I had gone to Madinath Khalifa Traffic department. They said I can drive car here based on U A E driving license But i am still not convinced. Can any of our freinds throw some light on this.

Since you have a UAE D/L you must be aware of the rules and practices there also and no additional light is required in this matter. To renew a local D/L you MUST have a residence permit in that State. Some countries will give you can get a Temp. license valid for a fixed duration depending on the validity of the visa. You can get a valid Gulf D/L transferred to a local D/L within the Gulf States ONLY if you have an employment or residence visa.
