All the South Africans I know have said they are supposed to take the full driving test in order to get a Qatar driving license. They also say there are ways round this.

I've got my temporary licence within 7 days of arrival and only needed to do the eye test at the police station in Madina Khalifa.

When I got my RP and ID Card, I only converted my temporary licence to a permanent one. So maklik soos dit.
