Goodmoring to all, I have a GCC UAE international driver license. Is it possible I can convert it directly to Qatar driver license without taking any exams at all. I have a working Visa. my Visa profession is Sales Supervisor. But my work there is Service Advisor at Naser Bhin Khaled. I 'll be going there this month of July 2016. I hope someone will reply and could help me regarding my question on this matter. Iam from Philippines. God Bless to all.

Thank you every one for the advises . Greatly appreciated. I have a UAE driver's license. I'll just take a direct Test. I think there is also available authorized cars where I can practice before I take the Direct driving test. Thanks again and may God Bless us all. Have a nice day to everyone.

vaughnie: I agree .. Too many selfish idiots on the road with no road manners or courtesy

"a lot of bad drivers" does not give justice to the number of ignorant fools on the driver's seat here. Just last week, i tried to move and give way to an ambulance, guess what? the driver on my left stepped up on his pedal and tried to block me from giving way to a dying person...

anyway kabayan, you might need to go for a direct test, exam schedule dates are a bit far from each other though

WT: That's because there are too many cars on the road now, so the government wants to slow the license issuing .... In addition, there are a lot of bad drivers on the roads

Times have changed. In 1993, when I came here, I gave my national license to my sponsor whose uncle was the minister of transport and communication and the next day I had my Qatari license.

If you have an International Driving License then you will have to go to school

If you have a valid UAE license , then you can take a direct test

No. You will need to go through a driving school in Doha and may be required to take some classes.
