These are the things you have to do if you are trying to get the Qatari license
1. Get your Qatar ID as soon as possible
2. Get a mobile SIM card on your name, this will enable you to register with Metrash2 ( An app from Ministry of interior (MOI)

4. Go to any learning center and take the eye test, this will cost you 50 Riyals.
5. You can register for signal class and test on the same day, this will cost you 500 for class and 50 riyals for traffic department.
6. Once you pass the computer signal test, the traffic Department will give book the final road test for you, normally this will be very longer time (I got two months time).
7. As long as you are done ✅ with all above, use your Metrash2 application to book a new date for the test, but check across all the centers for nearby available schedule, you can book it within 1-2 weeks time.

8. Once you got the schedule, Now prepare for the final road test. Below are the points to consider
