Is an International Drivers License valid in Qatar?

Mga Kababayan,

 

I need to renew my Philippine Drivers License in a couple of months, I am considering getting an International Drivers License by then. If things will work out the way I planned it po kasi, I might be in Qatar by last quarter of this year. Ask ko lang po if magagamit ko ang International Drivers License dyan or I still need to get one pag nandyan nko..

 

Salamat po

I am using international driving license and rent a car in dubai everytime I go there for a period of couple of months. if you have resident visa is another matter.

i think its valid for car rental only for 2 mos. cause of the new rules of visa that a visit or business visa can last only for 2 mos. na and dina pwede ma renew kasi... but some car rentals dont accept international drivers license...

THE DAY THEY STAMP YOUR RESIDENT PERMIT IN YOUR PASSPORT.... your international driving license will be invalid to use in Qatar.

is valid for only 3 months, just something that will let you drive until you get your Qatari Driving License  ...

ohhh dear

i think you know the meaning of international

so you shouldnt ask this question

you can drive only rental cars.....on international permit

you can not buy and drive

you must provide your local visa if you need to buy and drive,  this is the rule in u.a.e

i think you get it now

The international license is valid till your  resident permit is stamped in your passport.
