UK license you can transffer easily, only you have to obtain a NOC letter from your sponsor then you passport copy, resident permit copy, eye test form, photos only required. You have to go Madinat Khalifa Traffic department within hour you can have Qatar driving license.

You need to have a valid residents permit to exchange UK licence for Qatari licence. If you do not you can only get a Temporary permit for the duration of your visa, both easily done at traffic police. You can drive soley on UK license for 7 days from entry to Qatar or 6 months if you have an internationl license.

Most probably, you need to get Qatari Diving License. Following are importance steps.

1. Keep your passport with you and go to any typing centre and ask them to fill Driving License Form for you. They will do and will tell you all the formalaties.

2. Get permission from your company/sponsor on the typed form.

3. Go to Traffic Police Office (located at Madina Khalifa) and get Eye Testing.

4. After your form is signed with eye testing results, go to any Driving School and get admission. They will charge your around QR.1500 and will give you a date for trainning. Trainning is 12-25 days depending upon your requirement.

5. After traning, there is a test and that's all.

6. Go to Traffic Police Office again with you Driving Test Result and and submit your form there.

7. After 2-3 days, you will get your license.
