In my case, no need to surrender the existing GCC licence.

This was in January 2010.

Don't know if the rule change after that or I was just been lucky then.

Painther, you may be done it long years ago we are talking about present rule/procedures. Sometimes or rarely happen as you said that depends on the counter policeman. also if you want to go back to Kuwait you can also do the same in Kuwait.

Just go to the licensing agency, fill out the required paperwork. Yes you will need your Qatari ID, I still have a Kuwait, Qatar, Iternational and a few other countries. Proove to them you have a valid license and do the paperwork, you won't have to turn in anything. Listen to the ones who have done it and not the ones who claim to know it all...

I think no need to surrender ur Kuwaiti DL; in my case I have reatined my UAE DL and they gave me new Qatari DL, this process took hardly 30 mnts. but you must have backup papers Qatari ID etc ready!!!

Yes surrender for ever for simple conversion otherwise go to school or take direct test (if you are luck you will pass) then you dont need to mention that you have Kuwait Licence. (But if you are a Kuwaiti no need to surrender)

As Biju wrote its easy procedure, will take couple of hours to convert it.

Yes ofcourse with very simple procedure, just pay the fee and may be they will ask eye test. That's all. but you need to surrender your Kuwait Licence to get Qatari Licence.
