Motorcycle License, how to get it?

How can I obtain a motorcycle license here?

How long will it take and how much will it cost?

I am an experienced rider with well over 10,000kms on the clock. However, my British license expired ages ago.

What a detailed information. Thumbs up...

I'm already going to Khebra driving school these days and am planning to take the test on coming Monday. Are there any specific tips to know while taking the test in front of the officer? So far, I am only doing zig zag between the cones without dropping them.

1- Go to main traffic department after 8pm during ramadhan, before 6pm in normal days.

2- Take 2 passport sized, blue background photographs (see pt 6) and sponsor NOC letter, original id card and current qatari driving license.

3- Get the forms done from one of the shops located on the road across from the traffic department building.

4- They will take a copy of your id card and license and attach it to the application. whole thing costs 15-20 riyals.

5- Go through the gates and to the second door to your right for the eye test rooms. People around are helpful and will guide you to the rooms if you cant find it.

6- Give the eye test, If you use eye glasses or lenses, use them and make sure you are wearing them in your photos.

7- Pass the eye test and go to either Doha driving school in the north or to Al Khebra in Abu Hamour behind MES Indian School.

8- Pay them them relevant fees and make sure to tell them about your British driving license. You might happen to forget mentioning the fact that it has expired... (not necessary but they dont need to know that)

9- Get a test date, it will always be a Monday, early morning at 5.

10- If you went to the school in the north, you will get to prove your mettle on a hugely crap motorcycle with traditional gears, meaning all down, up to neutral. If you went to khebra in abu hamour, youll ride a slightly more respectable and maintained machine with the usual gear pattern, one down, four up. Plus they have a gear indicator so theres practically no chance to mess up.

11- Pass the test around 6 ish, go out and have a smoke and wait till seven cause thats when the offices open.

12- Pay 200 for your new combined car and motorcycle license.

13- Get in touch with me if you want a proper motorcycle. Forget dream team because all he sells is overpriced scarp yard worthy rat bikes.
