This is a very stupid change in rule, No GCC citizen will come to Qatar to take a licence. It was only good for expats having GCC license and now they have banned that. Just a move to extract money from the expacts in the name of training and school. People who have been driving in GCC countries for last more than 5 years need no such training and its just a waste of their money. They should definitely give some notice and some grace period for the people who were already in process of converting their license. But no such intimation was also given. It will simply create problems for people and delay the works. shame.
