On arrival – 1 week rule

Visitors can drive for one week (7 days from arrival) on approved licences from some countries. Visit the Traffic Department at Madinat Khalifa (see map below) to check the validity of your home country licence.

Temporary Driving Licence – valid for 3 months

If you wish to drive for longer than a week you can apply for a Temporary Licence which is valid for 3 months. It is possible to extend the licence when it expires.

How to apply for a temporary licence

Fill in the application form and submit it along with the following documents to the Traffic Department Khalifa St, Doha, Qatar

Original licence from an approved country

Passport – original and copies

Three colour photos – passport size, white background. If you need to wear glasses while driving you must be wearing glasses in the photos.

The only way is to ask the company to make an exception.
