Indian Driving Licence in Qatar
Hello All,
I will be moving to Qatar within few days (I am currently in INDIA), thus I would be thankful to all if you could please clear my doubt of brining an Indian International Driving Licence with me, I heard that Indian International Driving LIcence is valid for 1 year in Qatar, please let me know if this is correct. Actually, I would be needing a Rent-A-Car as soon as I reach Qatar. Please help me and I would expect as many answers as possible. Thanks once again.

First of all, I doubt you will be allowed to have Qatar Driving license with acquiring Resident Permit and will require letter from your sponsor, to appear for the test. If, this is not the case you will have two options : Option 1 ( Difficult)- You can approach Garaffa Police Station, with a letter from your sponsor and if you are lucky, by paying QAR 250, your driving test will be conducted, in your car, and chances of clearing it is remote.
