same question but i have saudi driving license and i want qatari driving license so what is the procedure??
You have to take driving test. And you might as well take the course because they will fail you for sure...The course teaches how to pass the test...Good luck...
Yes you are right a test must be taken
kindly go to madinath kalifa trafffic department and fill the form by giving 5qr and 4 copies passport size photo with your copy of qatar id or visa copy (if visit)US license with copy .there you can test your eye free of cost ,then go to drivers license section GET SIGNED FROM CAPTAIN ON US LICENSE COPY .GIVE IT TO COUNTER PAY 350 OR 250 WAIT FOR 10 MINUTES YOUR LICENSE WILL READY .VALIDITY IS 5 YEARS IF YOU HAVE R P IN QATAR OTHER WISE UP TO YOUR VISIT VISA VALIDITY LICENSE WILL BE VALIED.NORMALY YOU DONT NEED TO GO FOR LEARNING FOR MANUAL OR AUTOMATIC THEY GIVE YOU MANUAL LICENSE WHILE YOU SUBMIT THESE THINGS
On getting the license: 2 years ago the traffic department changed the rules and Americans can no longer simply exchange their license, they must take a test. Apparently a Qatari diplomat in the US had to take a test to get a license, so now Americans here must as well.On automatic versus manual: Women can get an automatic only license, but I don't know about men. I suspect men must take the test on a manual, but I could be wrong.Finally: Check with your employer to see if they have a connection that will make it easier for you... some employers can get around the rules.
I’m not so sure about that! I know three US citizens that had to go through the whole thing. They could not just change it over
With US driving license you can get Qatar driving license without test. You just wants to do the eye test only. If you process your resident permit already you can get 5 years valid permanent license otherwise you can apply for temporory license for 3 months.
sorry, I thought USA driver's license holders had to take the test (not the lessons but sit the test)???
Yes there is a provision of automatic license, you can get it without any driving test.
No need anything just go for eye test and they will give you Qatar driving license if you have resident visa
