It is possible to exchange a driving licence issued by an EU or EEA Member State for a full Irish driving licence. Ireland has agreements with all EU/EEA States and recognises full driving licences issued by competent authorities. A full list of these states is outlined below. Ireland also has agreements with certain other countries/States which means that if you are coming to Ireland to take up residence you can exchange your driving licence for a full Irish driving licence and you will not need to do a driving test. A full list of these countries and States is also outlined below. If you are not from any of the following countries/States but you do hold a national driving licence or an international driving permit from your own country, you can drive in Ireland for the duration of your temporary visit. (A temporary visit is regarded as a period not exceeding 12 months). If you will be resident in Ireland for more than 12 months (and again, are not from any of the following countries/States) , you will need to go through the full driving licensing procedures (see 'How to apply). Since 1 January 2003, you are required to carry your driving licence with you at all times when motoring in Ireland. Licences from EU/EEA States are recognised, licences from these countries/States are also recognised: * Australia * Gibraltar * Guernsey * Isle of Man * Japan * Jersey * South Africa * South Korea * Switzerland If you are not from any of the above countries, (for example, if you are from Canada, the United States or New Zealand), and you hold a national driving licence or an international driving permit from your own country, you may drive in Ireland for the duration of your temporary visit (up to 12 months).

Can you change qatar license to international?

As far as I can determine, there is no "international driving permit" that is independent of your drivers license. There are several "international driving permit" forms available from Automobile Associations and such, but these are basically translations of the information shown on your domestic drivers license into several different languages. They must be used in conjunction with your home drivers license; they have no validity on their own.


Is there a difference between an International Driving Permit and an International Drivers License?

The international driving permit is a translation of your licence. It needs to be presented with your full licence, whatever the issuing country. The international driving licence is just that. it is a licence in it's own right. If you have a full driving licence from a country that is recognised by the international driving permit scheme then you only need a permit.
