Hi all

i went to the traffic department to transfer my tunisian driving license to a qatari DL, they told me that i do not have to take a test drive but need to go to any scool to valid my current driving license.

I really do not understand, do i have to repass all the driving tests (written and driving) or what? Someone can help 

thanks

Hi

I had to pass tests to get my DL

You have to go to any driving school to register for a direct test (only for DL holder from origin country)

But before it s bettre to do the eye test outside 30qr (100qr inside the school)

You will have to pass a theoretical exam (10 questions about road signs ) really easy and then get an appointment for the direct drive test (you will need to pay 200qr cash the day of the exam)

driving test is on 3 steps (2 parking test and trafic exam)

A lot of tips exist in this forum, it is a must to know about these tips

Hi Anis and welcome to Doha.

As I know you should go to any driving school to make some tests. But before, it is also necessary to pass an eye test, which is usually carried out before the theory and practical part of the test.

Please update your driving license process because I have to do the same thing. The problem is that the process is changing every week or month :)

Thanks
