I am working with guys from USA, Uk and germany and they simply exchange their driving licence without any problem and any test and got qatari driving licence. I dont think so that law changed for them.I Heared that persons from asian countries like Pakistan, india, bangladesh etc have to give driving test and must have to clear it to get qatari driving licence because in their countries its right hand driving so its necessary for them to join any school and clear the test for qatari driving licence.
