I was a resident of Qatar for the past one year and was under my Company's sponsorship. I recently got my driving license in Qatar. Is this valid in the entire GCC or not after my current Qatar resident Visa is canceled since I would be leaving Qatar for good.
Thanks to all the folks above for sharing their ideas and opinions. I too heard that the Qatar Driving license isnt valid in UAE. Bt my concern is the the RP number which is embossed on the License copy. Once my visa is canceled in Qatar, will the license still be valid as i would not be a resident if Qatar any longer. Im also banned from entering this country for 2 yrs as companies do not issue a NOC.
Tomorrow, if i go to UAE or any GCC countries with this License copy, will I have that edge for getting a local driving license or not ??
Kindly help. I have spent nearly QR 2800 to possess this license and its going to seriously pinch my pocket if I get to know that the license is invalid once my RP is canceled.
I have doubts about Validity in UAE.I heard so from my friends that one needs to undergo test before he gets a new one from UAE,even though he was in possession of Qatar Driving.Any comments?
you can use it in the GCC but rental companies will not rent you a car unless you have a valid residency to go with it; otherwise, they require a driver license from the same country that issued your passport. if you become resident in other GCC then you can directly exchange upon showing a photocopy of your old residence. hope that helps.

it is valid as long as you are on a visit visa. If u change ur residency, then u have get license of country of ur residence.
I guess its not valid in UAE if you are resident there .. but still you can use if you are on visit visa..
They used to accept all the licences from GCC but people made that as hobby so they had to stop and asked everyone to undergo for the test and get it.
i had bad experience in kuwait too that they didnt allow me to change my UAE license kuwait one just coz my profession in the visa.
