Vietnamese Driver’s License

If you need to convert your Driver’s License to Vietnamese one or register your vehicles in HCMC, please feel free to contact me on 0908606098.

Vietnamese Driving Licences are mandatory for all drivers of motor vehicles as well as for riders of motorcycles with a capacity of over 50cc. Non-Vietnamese citizens are only permitted to drive in Vietnam if they hold a temporary Vietnamese Driver’s License.

To convert your Driving Licence or International Driving Permit into a temporary Vietnamese Driver’s licence, the applicant must first hold a valid Vietnamese residence permit or visa of at least three month’s validity and a valid Driving Licence.

Most medical insurance companies will not cover you for accidents etc on a motorbike WITHOUT a valid license for the country you are in. As Vietnam does not treat international licenses as valid, unless you have a VN license your medical insurance company will be able to void the insurance.

If you do not hold a valid license, your vehicle will be kept in custody for max. 90 days by the traffic police.
