Qatar Driver's Licence

I have a Qatar Driver's licence that will expire on 2013. The case is, my resident permit was cancelled by my old company but fortunately, my new company has brought me back in Qatar under business visa. Can I use my Qatar driver's licence to drive in Qatar? or do I need to apply for an international driver's licence.

GCC countries normally had 5 years validation of drivers license, but in any case you change your employer, it should be re-validated under the new sponsor. Better discuss it to your company HR, before you accelerate your car.

LOL well if you meet an accident, greet it with a smile. Hopefully you aren't hurt though.

So what's wrong about having a driver's licence that is valid until 2013?
