Hi to all,
I need your advice and help on how I can do to obtain a driving license here in Qatar.I'm a driver cum salesman by profession but came into the country with a 5yrs work visa that states that I'm a Brick Mason by profession.Now I have an offer in a company for the position of a driver cum salesman but finding it difficult obtaining a drivers license following the new law that prohibites labourers from getting license.
My question is what can I do to have the Qatari driving license? Please any one to help.

That's a problem when you buy a visa. You have no recourse when it comes to legal problems. And yes, I know you bought a visa because you are from Cameroon and you came as a brick-layer. Very common scam. Are you living 12 men to a bedroom in the Industrial Area as well? Many in your position are. If you can get your new employer to sponsor you and change your profession you may have a chance.

There is no way you can get a license - you are from India and they do not know how to drive in India Land. If you can find a Bullock cart no problem.
