By mohammed_sadique •
I have a valid UAE driving license for automatic cars. Incase I shift to Qatar, what do I need to do to get a Qatari driving License? Do I need to attend driving classes there as well? Or just taking & passing the driving test will do.
Thanks David :-).
the cheapest for a "direct test" is with united driving company,fone # 44681003. 1st thing to do is go(sunday-thu only,dont go there on a saturday) to the traffic division of united driving company...take your queue #,once called submit the required forms/files which you will get at the reception. what you need to comply with these files are: NOC certificate(in arabic) from your company which MUST include its seal. Along with this,ask the receptionist the application for new driving license form. Along with this form is "eye test". i did my eye test with dr.charu arora of The Apollo Clinic(a licensed testing eye center). As soon as your files are finished(this also include 3 passport photos and very important your uae driving license)...YOU WILL BE PAYING 50 QAR(THEY NEVER ACCEPT CASH,HAVE YOUR QNB ECARD READY).after "ALL" your files were verified,they will schedule you for direct test which for my case took 2 weeks waiting for the scheduled "drive test".on the scheduled test date,be ready with 150qar as a fee. if you pass the drive/direct test,you may get your qatar driving license few minutes after the direct test. good luck to you.
Dear all, thnx a lot for ur responses. Its good tht I don't need to go for driving test n all. :-)
Go Traffic Police and convert the UAe to Qatari Licence
Go to any school of Driving, present your licence to Licence registeration authority ,pay QR 150 and get a Qatari Licence.No need for Classes and driving test.
1. Go to Madinat Khalifa traffic department
2. Documents to take: Your Dubai license, copy of passport, copy of RP, Driving license NOC from your company, 250 riyals.
3. Get your number, they will send you to the clinic (in the same compound) for eye-testing.
4. Khallas....
takes about an hour...
Go at 8:00 AM on a saturday...
Best of luck...
I beleive you just need to have an eye test and then pay for your Qatar Driver's License and that's it, you're good to go.
You can have DL( for automatic only) directly by producing UAE licance without any test. If you need licence for manual,need to go for either direct test or test after driving classes.Good luck
No need for test or classes just convert it ro Qatri Driving License
