I worked in Qatar 1 1/2 years ago and went back to my country after cancelling my visa.... Again I came here to an other company under different visa on 20.09.2013 (previous company was issued the NOC).

Earlier I had the driving license and still valid up to end of next year.....But I still do not have ID here (under processing). Can I drive here now (before getting the Qatar ID )....Pl. advise

Thanks

As per your question if you can use your previous DL that is still valid PRIOR to the issuance of a QID under a different company, the answer is NO.

Yes, you can, but with a temporary driving licence until you finish your RP procedures. You should visit the Traffic Dept. with your valid licence and visa details (new) and they will issue a temporary driving licence.

Have a pleasant driving.

Yes, as long as your License Card is still valid, you can still use it
