Driving schools in Qatar have started implementing the proposed solution, which suggests limiting the number of expat workers who can apply for a driver’s license, based on their profession. According to an official list released to us by the Gulf Driving School, those who are eligible for a driving license include sales representatives, accountants, administrators, representatives, sales supervisors, receptionists, clearance agents, fitness trainers, doctors, engineers, pilots, architects and lawyers. However, clerks, stewards, cashiers, salesmen, foremen, tailors, blacksmiths, masons, cooks, carpenters, plumbers, painters, electricians, mechanics, computer technicians, waiters, barbers, beauty salon workers, store keepers, photographers and secretaries will not be issued driving licenses. There are over a 100 job occupations, which if a person in Qatar obtains, cannot be eligible for a driving license.
