What is the procedure to change the Qatar driving license to UAE driving license?
By The Dravidian •
I'm serving my notice period in a Qatar based company. My visa will soon be cancelled. I've a driving license valid till 2015. I'll be moving to UAE within a couple of months. Is it possible to convert my Qatar Driving licene to UAE driving license? Is it ok to drive in Qatar with my current Qatar driving license & UAE work permit when I'm on a visit visa to Qatar? Kindly suggest?
I have been in UAE for 4 years. In 2008 December the rules has been changed means you will not get UAE license if you are a holder of GCC license but instead of 40 driving classes you should attend 20 driving classes. If you failed in the driving test then you have to go for another 10 classes. First of all you have to pay around 900 dirhams if you have failed in the test you shoule pay again 1200 dirhams. If you want to know please ask anything about UAE. Sivakumar
Upon cancellation of your Residence permit in Qatar, same time your driving licesense will be cancelled, you are not permitted to drive and you can't use this license even you come back to Qatar on visit.
You can't convert Qatar driving licesne to UAE license even though its possible vise versa,
All the best, as long as you have Qatar driving experience you will be able to get the UAE license bit easily,
All the best !
If you have valid Qatar Licence you can convert to UAE, you have to give test in UAE,
Even though your RP cancelled in Qatar your licence will be valid, as long as the licence not expired,
qatar driving license is not valid in U.A.E
Is it possible to convert my Qatar Driving licene to UAE driving license?
Yes, get your new HR department to take you to the traffic department.
Is it ok to drive in Qatar with my current Qatar driving license & UAE work permit when I'm on a visit visa to Qatar?
No. Your License is linked to your RP. Once your RP is canceled, your license is invalid, but your UAE one will be accepted here on visit
