Driving license Validity

robherr soft , No worry,

My visa is cancelled in July -2011, still I am in Doha with my UAE on arrival visa and driving my Car which is registered under my friend name.

whenever you need to go to the Traffic dept. (in case any accident) show the visa stamped page to them.

you can drive until ur License expiry date.

I posted this reply from my experience, within this period I met three accident and never ever faced any problems from Traffic Dept.

Don’t care the above replies which have no sense, if any help need contact me

Mahesh thnx for the inputs.. but i did not get what is the logic of this process..Why get temporary license when u have a valid 5 years license. besides, this temporary license is until ur visit visa ends when if ur visa ends u r no longer here and not be able to drive anymore in Qatar?

Khalas, indeed....lol

yes its valid. Khalas!

You need to get a temperory driving license. Go to Traffic department, give your driving license and they will give you a temerory driving licence until the date of your visit visa ends. They charge QR 100 as well.

Traffic cops would hardly ever ask u for ur ID card.. all they'l wanna see is ur driver's license & ur car's ownership.

If license is Valid u r on safe end.

That makes no sense.. Licence remains valid even after visa cancellation.

Thanx batman.. I know that it has 5 years validity but some people are saying that once u r cancelled and no longer holding residence permit we do not have the right to drive here while holding a visit visa unless we have international driving license..

Yeah, otherwise one would ask what the expiry date was for.

There is an expiry date on your licence, it is valid till that date.
