i have few questions regarding owning a Driving licence for indian  in qatar. As i'm under VISIT VISA and want to opt a driving licence very soon.firstly

1. How long is the Driving licence in VISIT VISA valid in qatar?

2. What are Work VISA categories can people issued a driving licence in qatar? as i heard there are certain restrictions imposed by government in opting a driving licence for certain people depending on their work in qatar.

3. As i'm under VISIT VISA even if i own a driving licence now which is valid say for 2 months .After 2 months my licence expires which was under VISIT VISA .if i get a Work VISA anytime soon Should i need to apply for another driving test to get licence ?

4. Can a salesperson (any company or any retail company),Receptionist of 5 star hotel or office secretary apply for a driving licence ?

5.Is driving licence is issued depending on the Type of VISA or Type of work they do ?

sorry if my english is not well. I hope everybody understand my questions.

Driving License are 5 years and only issued for those who have QID, but you need to enroll yourself first but there are also some approved countries (amerciacn and westerns ) that you only need to show your home DL and they will give you driving license, with this go to Muror in Madinat Khalifa

See below list
