Hi,

I have qatar driving license which got expired in May 2013. I finished my job (I was there on a temporary post for 4 months there) and left Qatar in May 2013. Now I am planning to go there for few months. Can i renew my driving license without taking the driving exams. In general, what is the procedure to renew 2 year old driving license.

@Raja,Since it was a Temporary license, you may be required to go for another Test IF they haven't changed the rules, But if it was Permanent no issues even after 3yrs expiry ,they'll renew for you directly without going for another test....All the best..

Hi,

I was there on business visa, and the license they gave me was valid for just 3 months. (till the date of my visa expiration).

Also, if you got your license on 2013, it is still valid only since it has got 5 year validity ?

I am wondering , you were in 2013 on temporary work ? How you got driving license while you were on temporary work ? It needs RP first. Again you are planning for few month only. Better you do not required driving license since driving in qatar is become hectic. Also you may not have experience enough to drive in qatar since you were only few month here.
