There is absolutely No problem in bringing a 3 year Old Car in Qatar..First you get an export number plate..You contact a local agent there...Best in UAE ASTECO..Other countries I dont know...
Important: At this stage you also contact the Car Dealer in Your current Country and ask for ORIGINAL Custom Invoice for the Car..Its the Custom duty on the car paid and responsiblity of the Car dealer to give you that document rests with him..If you are able to receive that Document you will be exempted from Customs Duty at Qatar Border or Port (It will take a couple of days for Dealer to get you that Paper which is released by local customs..)(You will save 5% of Current Valuation of the Car)
DO ALL THIS ONLY IN THE LAST FEW DAYS OF YOUR STAY THERE..After the Car arrives and gets custom cleared at Doha..You are allowed to drive the Car with the Export Number plate for ONE month..However the moment you are out of Customs..Go to Qatar Technical Inspection and get your car cleared and get insurance..then Drive for One month with Export plate ...All local insurers do it with an export Number plate..and convert it when you get local plate...
After you get your residence permit (About 6 Weeks from Landing date)..then you can get your car registered at Doha...Also you can drive with your GCC License for Sometime..IF you want to safe on this...get a temporary license for a month for QR 150..You company will help you in all the formalities...
