converting licence and buying a vehicle
Hi again,
Posting again on another topic.
If I have a uk driving licence is it straightforward to get it converted in qatar to a local licence?
Do I need to have a resident visa first however to do this?
Do I need a resident visa to purchase a vehicle (like renting a flat)?
Lastly is it safe to purchase a vehicle from an individual or is it always better to go through dealers?

you need RP for all the thing you want to do, and pictures...., and letters from your sponsors....., and copies of the entry stamp, and copies of Qatari id id card,... and lots of patience ! Expect lots of slooooooow papwerwork. Good Luck
I know that you need a RP for all the stuff to do with cars that you mentioned (your DL and buying a car).As for who to the buy the car from, I take it you mean buying a second hand in which case I wouldn't recommend used car dealers. The cars that they carry are normally painted all over the place, more expensive, and think about it this way; why would you put your car at a used car dealer instead of sell it yourself..because it's royally ****** :D. So what you'll have to do is take a look at the ads section of this website and also go to qatarsale.com and look for low mileage expat owned cars and never buy before you get the car inspected (preferably at the german specialists center).Good luck!
Yes, none of the above can be done without an R/P.
