Great news for expat drivers coming to Qatar! The Ministry of Interior (MOI) announced on July 3rd, 2024, that the eye test service offered at Qatar Visa Centers (QVC) abroad is now linked to the Traffic System in Qatar. This means that expats applying for driving jobs won’t need to retake the eye test upon arrival in the country.
This integration aims to simplify the licensing process for expat drivers, saving them time and hassle. Previously, expats had to undergo the eye test twice – once at the QVC and again in Qatar. This new system eliminates the redundancy, making the process more efficient and convenient.
