Thanks Drovers dog for your reply. Its good to know that we have Australians living in Qatar as well.

So what document do i need to take it with me.

My Australian Passport

My Qatar ID

My Australian License

Do i need New License form typed in Arabic

How much money do i need to take it with me, and do they take cash or no. If not can i put money on my QNB E-cash card.

Last but not least will i be able to keep my original australian license with me or they will take it from me.

Please reply.....

Thanks Ray82 for your reply. Do i need to go to MOI Madina Khalifa and do i need to fill any form as well. I need to go to the Traffic department, do eye testing from there or eye testing from any where else. Once i get done with the testing i need to get the new license form typed in Arabic and take my Australian license and show to the officer. What is the Fees. Do they take my Original Australian License or i can keep it with me after showing them and they will issue me the Qatari license.

Please reply when possible.

Your help is much appreciated.

Take care mate

Sure you can change it to a Qatari Licence, you need to go to the RTA and do an eye test, pay the fees and you should be sweet.
