Driving license

I am re-locating to Doha next month.

Can someone please provide insight on whether a UK / UAE ( residence) drivers license can be used to rent a vehicle?

The residence visa may take up to a month to process, after which i can apply for a Qatari licence.

Yup, you can convert your UAE as well as your UK license to a qatari license, will be done within 5 minutes.

Only thing is that the day after you drop in go to the traffic police at Madinat Khalifa and get a temporary license which will be valid for the period of your interim visa and then you can convert it into a permanent one.

Else, UAE license will permit you to drive for a max of a week.

Validity of the D/License is depends on the type of visa. The easy and safe way is to get a temporary license here. Its so easy to get a temp. license with any GCC license.
