The person was in Qatar on RP, but he left the Job, cancelled his RP that's why he got Permanent DL and he is back on Visit visa now
DID YOU KNOW THAT IF THE RP HAS BEEN CANCELLED, YOUR DRIVERS LICENSE AND OTHER GOVERNMENT ISSUED LICENSE IS ALSO CANCELLED. IT MEANS THAT HE HAS A NON VALID DRIVERS LICENSE. YOU MUST HAVE A VALID RP BEFORE YOU CAN USE YOUR OLD DRIVERS LICENSE.
Dohamarketing is right. You don't need a Driving License to buy a car but you need an RP to buy a car. His Driving License is invalid as his visa was cancelled and he should renew it after obtaining the RP.
you know what.. i just found out from my friend working for a car dealership that you actually dont need a drivers license to buy a car.. all you need is the QID...
i guess this will answer your question...
the license is connected to the Qatari ID.. if the visa is cancelled the license will have no meaning as well.. he is driving at his own risk similar to not having a license.. if he gets a new sponsor and gets a new qatari id he will again need to apply for a new license to be linked to that new ID.

please get your facts straight as you cannot get a Permanent Drivers License without an RP. The license is link to your QID and bear the same number.
cherukkan, He might have got the temporary DL and is confused. They will not issue Permanent DL without RP and ID.
A person on visit visa will not have a Permanent DL of Qatar and will not be able to buy a car.
How did he get a Qatari Driving License (permanent) without having a Residence Permit and ID?
