Can anyone please advise on what is the current process for converting a US driving license to Qatari. Heard that earlier it was a direct conversion, but recently the tests need to be taken. If so is it both the L/Parking and the driving test or only the driving test?
That's so silly, I got my license in December, so they obviously make some nationalities have the full test and not the rest. It's so unfair on you guys :-(
In case u drive here ,please remember there is no free right on red unlike in the states . Just met someone who became poorer by 6000Riyals since he did not know
i'm pretty sure us citizens need to take the full driving test. i've heard of several people who have had to do so in the past several months. There are lots of threads on ql about this topic
It's a really simple procedure, you take an eye test which is literally a 1 minute job, a bit like going to the opticians and reading out the letters from the board.
You can get a temporary license until you get your Resident's Permit and then you can exchange it for a permanent one.
I think it is very simple and you need only to take eye test, I know two years ago in my company one American got a licence with no formality, but I dont know now they always change rules.

That's crazy! I'm a Brit and I didn't have to go through all that. I would've thought it'd be the same for US citizens. Ah well...

no the answers are incorrect. Previously Americans could just do the eye test but now they have to take the full driving test to get a Qatari licence.
