Actually not only in Qatar but all over the world ..any country that is mentioned on your int'l driving liscence should allow you to drive in it up to six months as long as you are a visitor .. so if you leave and come back you are a visitor all over again...
Now if your int'l liscense originates from a GCC country you can get it swapped easily in Qatar coz there are mutual dealings and rules in GCC.
You can always call the main Traffic Dept. "Muroor" (Madinat Khalifa) on this number 4890666 and check with them.. it is much better, when I fisrt arrived here everytime I asked about something like that I got a different answer! So it is better to get such information from the original source where there are no doubts..
