I have no driving license at all never passed a test here in the UK. How fast can I get a Qatar one there. I fly out with my work visa on 8th November and need one as fast as possible. My sponsor hasn't asked about license but maybe just assumes . is it easy to get a driver? Any Serious ideas please?

Quick Update .

I arrived 3 weeks ago and have now got my test on the 3rd December. I found driving very easy as I am not a novice. the hardest things I have found have been looking in the wrong mirrors and reaching at the instructor for my seatbelt as we are RHD in the UK. Wish me luck

MM is not a normal person. He usually writes several two words replies one following the other which he only understands. Possibly he has just too much of free time to waste around.

It takes all sorts to make this world.

Why reply to every single thread with an immature and pathetic answer molten metal? For goodness sake go out into the world and live your life.

There is no quick fix to getting a Qatari License. If you do not have a UK License to exchange then, you need to attend lessons and take a test in Qatar. '

For day to day transport, I suggest you contact Karwa (the taxi company) and book a daily taxi to commute to and from. Prices depend on time and locations.

Not a big deal so do not worry.

Qatar is a busy place at the minute and maybe not having a license is a blessing. Make sure your accommodation is in town so the transport is not an issue or even live close to work.
