@pioneerpec - but the traffic dept. said it is qr150 per month. actually, my brother in law just renewed his temporary driving license.

Temporary driving license cost is not QAR 150 per month but QAR 150 per validity of the Visa.

What I mean is don't be a fool renewing your your business visa each month and renewing Temporary driving license each month.

Renew business visa for 3 months and for the Temporary license, you have to pay only QAR 150 for the 3 months.

Another example: If you are on Family visit visa, renew your family visit visa for 6 months and and for Temporary license, you have to pay only QAR 150 for the 6 months.

Be intelligent...save Money

To my knowledge, you can drive with your existing Qatar DL as long as it's validity expires. But, my advice is , please go straight to Traffic Headquarters in Madinat Khalifa. Your problem will be solved in a matter of minutes for sure. It's open until 6pm daily.
