A suggestion for Pinoy58 - sell your car in Dubai, and buy one in Qatar! I just went through the process of bringing my Dubai registered car to Qatar (since i'm now working in Qatar), and in retrospect, it probably would have been better to sell. Part of the problem was that Nissan in Dubai could not locate the papers to prove that customs duty had been paid on my 3 yr old car, so I wound up having to pay a 5% duty in Qatar. If your car is less than a yr old, they say they could have found the paper. And if your car is older than 5 yrs, Qatar won't let you register it.
Allow enough time to get a transit visa. The agency that handles it in Dubai says 2 days, but in fact if you apply on a Sunday, you won't get it any earlier than Wednesday. The agency is in Room 106 in a building accross the street from the Dubai Islamic Bank on Khalid bin Waleed st near Bur Juman.
