Hi,

I have UAE driving license, can I drive until i get the IQAMA to process for Qatar Driving License.

And is it better to go for test for Qatar Driving license or have the UAE License changed for Qatar License.

Thanks in advance

getting a qatari licence by swaping a GCC driving licence is very easy. go to madinat khalifa with your sponser letter, one picture, fill the form,do the eye test submit with your original UAE licence(they will keep it), it hardly takes 30 mins,

but but but,,,, are you ready to loose your "UAE LICENCE" just in case if you want to go back to UAE? you know the importance of a dubai licence, remember you cannot swap the qatari licence in dubai.

qatari licence is very easy to get(except date hassels) take a fresh qatari licence by giving the test, you wont regret it. "DONT LOOSE YOUR UAE OR OMANI LICENCE"

Hi Mr. Habib,

You can convert your UAE license to Qatar DL without taking any test. Just present your license at Madinat Khalifa Traffic Department and they will give you temporary license for 3 months. After you have your Iqama then they will give you the permanent license.

Hope this helps.
