australian drivers licence
By matildagirl •
I am hoping to get my drivers licence in the next few weeks. I'm not sure if my Australian drivers licence can easily be converted or if I will have to take lessons. Are there any Australians who can confirm this?
Also, does anyone know the cost of a licence and the validity?? Thanks
Go the Maroor (Traffic Division) at Madinath Khalifa...get the form typed by the Typists or any Typing Services Place around Doha (Cost around QR 10)...get it signed by your sponsor or if you are working for a company then it should also be stamped...go for the Eye Check Up or if you want to avoid long queues at the Traffic Office...you can do the Eye Test at any Registered Eye Clinic (Cost around QR 25)...then submit the form in the Traffic Office alongwith the Eye Test Result + Copy of your ID + Your Passport Size Photograph & Copy of your Australian License alongwith original for ready reference. You'll get it swapped with half an hour (Cost around QR 250). Hope it helps. Best of Luck.... :-)
You will also require a letter from your sponsor here, and a coloured photograph (blue background.
You can convert your license directly - you only need an eye test. Validity is 5 years, cost was 155 rials nearly 5 years ago. don't know now
