Any priority For getting Driving License
Hi ..i am an Indian.
I am new in Qatar.
Working here as an Engineer.
I have Indian driving license and i got IDP(International Driving Permit) from the concerned authority from India itself while i planning to come here in Qatar.
I get it by the one of my friend's advise.I dont know what is the use of IDP.but I have it now.
Actually what is the use of that IDP?
By this IDP , can i get any priority to get Qatar driving license?
Please answer me..
Unfortunately the test is quite harsh. I can't understand why they carry on about doing lessons and test etc.. when half the population here drive like total idiots endangering other road users. Good luck
No use of Iiternational driving Licence in qatar , but if u have a GCC licence u can deposit it for one year the GCC licence in Qatar Licence authority u will get a Qatar driving Licence with out any TEST
You may check the list of countries where your IDP from india is valid. This should be listed in one of the pages of your IDP. I dont beleive it has got Qatar in it.
the only advantage that you cant have with your driving liscence is that rather than 40days traning course u cant switch to 15 days driving traning course as you kno driving...
secondly regarding your IDP....according to me its useless....as the driving side is different in both countries...even though if u got work permit for doha you cannot use your indian driving liscence...if you were here on visit than it was ok....
one tip....apply for driving liscense ASAP...coz if today u will apply inshallah by next month or 40 days the school will allot you trainer...
With your IDP you can drive for one month only or until ur Residency premit comes out (if it is dont before a month is over)!! after that it is of no use anymore whatsoever!!! and u have to go thru the usual procedures to acquire a Qatari License
Not at all.. you would have to take the class and test as any other people. only advantage of holding any license would be enablining you to give test directly with single attempt without taking any driving class/lesson. but beware single chance, if you dont make it then you need to take the full course of min 25days class. All the best.
ref the rules , u can use the international driving license for 1 month only after that , and till u got your RP , u should obtain your Qatar i driving license ,
for that you have to go for the nearest driving school
otherwise no way
good luck
In Qatar you are allowed to drive for first 7 days after the date of your arrival. You can check with any Rent a car company for the details. You have to apply for Qatar driving License. So, Get ready for that.
NO WAY...
