I'm lucky.

This morning I went to the MOI Traffic Department to get my driving license.

All I need to do is provide copies of my passport, RP, Qatar ID Card and my home country Driver Licence.

I also brought along an "eye test" done yesterday (30 QR).

I engage one of the group standing outside the MOI Traffice Department for a fee of 350 QR inclusive of the 250 QR for the licence.

Sat at the waiting area while the guy goes to handle the administration and in half an hour, I got my Qatar licence.

Oh, you need to produce your orignial home country licence too, and a passport size photograph.

Regards
