Dear Lifeguard
Sounds good, single occ apartment, sea view, SUV no wife or kids - can I join you!
Thanks Alifather....
I guess this what I will be doning then.
Is it easy to transfer a UAE liscence to Qatari?
Thanks for your reply....
I have a Murano in Dubai which is not paid off yet, so I will sell it and get a new car in Doha, this is much better....rather than go through the shipment and stuff.
So No need to get my Alcohol in my shipments?....so then I have to drink them all in two weeks!...geeeee!! :)))
yes you can use your UAE till you get your ID, after that you will need transfer.
1. Only for a short time
2. Yes, but if you have a US license it will be easier.
3. Depends where you are working! If you work in Messaid or Dukhan, West Bay isn't much use to you
4. Some are some are not.
5. You can not bring alcohol with you - besidew, we have enough here already!
6. Why not bring your car from Dubai?
Did you Google it first?
