Greetings!
I need assistance regarding driving license. Presently I hold a valid Kuwaiti driving license and I am planning to relocate to Qatar. Hence, I would like to know if I could use my Kuwait driving license or do I need to obtain Qatari license? If so, what is the procedure? Thank you for your response in advance.

If you are coming to qatar in employment visa, after your arrival next day you can go to thraffic department and obtain temporory Qatari license. and this valid for two to three months and coast 150 Qatari Riyals. For this you need your passport copy entry page in Qatar from your passport, visa copy, and a support letter from your sponsor required to get the temp. license.

If you are not in hurry wait till the resident permit stamped and you can get a permenent Qatari license with the same documents (instead of visa copy you have to provide the RP copy and letter from sponsor) and the charges will be 250 QR. anly you have to do the eye test in traffic dept.

Hope this informations help you.........

Maxfax, they have no right to keep any other license you may possess - that is your personal private property.

I still have my KSA and UAE and UK Licenses in my wallet.

well, you could change your kuwaiti driving licence into Qatari one, normally done one you stamp your residence in qatar. It doesnt take any time to do it and more over they will keep with them your kuwaiti licence.
