Driving Licence

I have 3 questions please,

I am moving from Dubai to Qatar and I don't have a driving license here. Is it easy to get a driving license in Qatar?

What about taxis for commuting specially while going to office, can I find them easily?

What is the standard rent for a 2 bedroom flat, can I find it in a week's time?

Please answer to these as it is very urgent. Thanks in advance.

It is easy to get driving License in Qatar after you have a Residence Visa. If not you can apply for a Temporary Driving License on a 3 months if you have a GCC or International Driving License. If not, wait until you have Residence Visa for you to be able to take the Driving Exam here.

Taxi is available or you can book your service thru a Karwa at 4588888.

2 Bedroom Flat here normally cost you QR 6,000.00 to QR 9,000.00 depending on the location.

Welcome to Doha, To get Qatari Driving licence is very difficult, if you have you country licence, you can bring with you and you can go for direct test or short course for driving.

Here you will not get taxis when you required, but you can fix up tranport monthly with the one of the private taxi or Karwa Taxi.

Two Bedroom flat is cost 8500-12000 pm

Good luck
