Dear Sir,

Report has been released by The Traffic Department saying that the driving licenses of expats from the GCC countries cannot be converted into Qatari Driving licenses.

One needs to be a GCC Citizen in order to be eligible for this license conversion.

Qatar residents permit holders who hold valid GCC driving licence can still take the direct test, failure to pass this test means they have to take the full course.

Regards,

No you cannot - As per the Hukoomi website , you may be granted a temporary license - on approved licences from some countries. Visit the Traffic Department at Madinat Khalifa to check the validity of your home country.
