Driving license in Qatar

MBunni
By MBunni

I just get my RP in Qatar, I had valid Syrian Driving license, also International Driving license.
1- Is it possible to convert my license to Qatari?
2- If not, what is the fastest way to get qatari license? from where?
3- I hear that some nationalities need to attend driving school, What is the best school and what is the minimum days in school? and what is the possibility for passing the test?
Thanks

1. If you've international driving license you just need to provide your ID/RP copy, get an eye test and you'l get the driving license immediately..

3. Go to Medinat Khalifat Traffic Department.You will need your passport or ID card, three photos (these can be obtained at the typists’ offices outside the department), original driving licence and your sponsor’s ID. Your sponsor will have to sign/stamp a form, and may also have to provide a letter. You will have to complete a form in Arabic – there are plenty of typists who will do this for five riyals or so

I think they just convert Europeans, Australians, UK, and USA ones.

Go to medinat Khalifa traffic department and ask there, they will tell you what should you do.
