I am one of them who tried hard to get a license ..

Pocket parking is not so easy as it seems .. Many fail repeatedly in that !

Lucky! It should be easy now! especially the pocket parking.

Some of my friends are still trying to get a license and spend lots of money already with the driving school but still fail! I was told if they haven't got any driving license at all to convert, they do give them a hard time to pass or maybe they are not ready yet! Driving in Qatar is very risky, I see accident every single day!

If you just need to know the procedure..Here it is,

1) Get a NOC from sponsor for DL in arabic.

2) Get a eye test done at any optical shop or driving school.

3) Carry your original indian DL + copy with you.

3) Go to any driving school (Karwa / Al kebra etc.) - They will do all your rest paper work.

4) Carry you ATM or credit card with you to pay 50 QR fee (No cash) at police counter.

Done

Yes ! you can ....I got mine in the same way !!

But wait ..consider joining atleast a short or half course ..Getting a DL is difficult now & mostly you will fail if you do not have experience driving in the GCC or US / UK.

Rather than wasting money by failing in direct test . Join a course.

Because if you fail 2-3 times in direct test you will be approximately wasting about 1500qr in test fee, rent car on test day, taxi travel to & fro.
