Qatar Driving License will be valid in all GCC Countries

which is the real answer?????

Yes it is valid in all GCC countries.

once you get the UAE residency you go to the UAE traffic department with the original Qatari licence and copy too,

you pay 100 Dirhams and get the UAE driving licence

No, you need to go to driving school and you can get half course. Schooling in dubai is not easy.

i am from uae ,having valid uae license ,i confirm no Other GCC or Asian DL can be directly converted to UAE DL. apply for a road test if u pass ur lucky.if u fail u need to take minimum 5 class. then try till u succeeded.

I got my driver's licence in Saudi Arabia and when I transfered here in Qatar, it was still valid for 2 months. I was able to convert it to Qatar driver's licence because Saudi and Qatar are part of GCC. I just don't know if this is also applicable if you go out of Qatar and convert it to UAE driver's license when you work there. But I have a strong feeling that it can be done since UAE is also part of GCC.

your Qatar DL is valid in Qatar & can be converted to Omani license,Bahrain,Kuwait but not uae. u need give test in uae.if you fail u need to take classes opening file and keep trying your luck. getting UAE License is not so easy as u get in Qatar. u need good luck and if not u shed lot money in attempts. overall ur Qatari license is not valid to get uae DL. U Need to go through above process.

I know that you can use a Qatari Driving License supported by your Qatari RP to rent a car in the UAE, but if you leave here to work there would imagine you need to do a test for the UAE, unless your home license can be automatically transferred.

Should also imagine that once your RP is cancelled your Qatari license irrespective of date on it would also be cancelled.

If you are getting a job in any other GCC country then it means you'll need to apply for a valid local DL in that country.

If you are going to any GCC on a "Tourist" base then yes it is valid.
